The basketball coach tells his team to run sprints back and forth across the court, which is 30 m long. They start at the left e

nd of the court, run back and forth 6 times, then end back at the left end of the court where they began.
What distance did they run?
What is their displacement?

Distance is the total length of an object's path. Displacement is the overall change in position, ie. how far an object is from its initial position.


The court is 30 m long, so a path going back and forth once is 60 m long. Going along this path 6 times totals 360 m.


The end point is the same as the starting point, so the displacement is 0 m.

A block pushed along the floor with velocity V0 slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. a) if the mass of the bl
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) \ d_2=d_1\\b) \ d_2=4d_1

Explanation:

Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.

In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.

If we use the law of energy conservation:

E_i=E_f\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= E_{Friction}\\E_{Friction}=F_{Friction}*d\\F_{Friction}= \mu_kmg\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= \mu_kmgd\\ d=\frac{v^2}{2\mu_kg}

a)

Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.

b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

T =  4200N

Explanation:

When the submersible craft is at rest, the tension in the cable is 6000N.

With this information you can calculate the weight of the craft by summing the forces (the summation of the force is zero because the craft is at rest):

T-W=0\\\\W=T=6000N

When the craft is going down with a constant speed, there is a drag force of 1800N. Then, by using the second Newton law you have:

T-W+F_d=0   (1)

Fd: drag force

The summation of the forces is zero because the craft moves with constant velocity, that is, there is no acceleration.

You calculate the new tension on the cable by solving the equation (1) for T:

T=W-Fd=6000N-1800N=4200N

hence, the tension is 4200N
