<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign. Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

The support at the left end of the beam will fail if the moment about A of the 15-kN force F exceeds 18 kN-m. Based on this crit

Serga [27]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Maximum moment about A=18 kN m

Force=15 KN

$\theta=30^{\circ}$

We have to find the largest allowable length of the beam

Let larges length of beam=L

Moment about A

M= $LFsin 30=L(15)sin 30=7.5 LkN m$

According to question

$M=M_{max}$

$7.5 L=18$

$L=\frac{18}{7.5}=2.4 m$

Hence, the largest length of the beam=2.4 m

A bullet with a mass of 4.5 g is moving with a speed of 300 m/s (with respect to the ground) when it collides with a rod with a

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

ω = 5.41 rad/s

Explanation:

Since the rod is rotating around its axis, angular momentum will play part in this question.

The conservation of angular momentum implies that

$L_1 = L_2$

So, the initial angular momentum is

$L_1 = m_b v_b \frac{L}{4} = (4.5\times 10^{-3}~{\rm kg})(300~{\rm m/s})(\frac{0.25}{4}~{\rm m}) = 0.0844~{\rm kg.m^2/s}$

The final angular momentum includes the rod and the bullet together. So,

$L_2 = I\omega\\I = I_{rod} + I_{bullet} = \frac{1}{12}m_r L^2 + m_b(\frac{L}{4})^2 = \frac{1}{12}3(0.25)^2 + (4.5\times 10^{-3})(\frac{0.25}{4})^2 = 0.0156~{\rm kg.m^2}\\L_2 = L_1 = I\omega\\0.0844 = 0.0156\omega\\\omega = 5.41~{\rm rad/s}$

Which has greater force fly hitting windshield of rapidly moving car or the force of windshield hitting fly? Explain

Goshia [24]

The force applied on the fly and the windshield are equal based on Newton's Law of Action and Reaction. the difference between them is that the fly's body does not have enough mechanical strength to withstand the force but the windshield does.
