If a set of displacement vectors laid head to tail make a closed polygon, what is the resultant vector?

Physics
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
4 0

The resultant vector is zero.

Explanation:

When you add displacement vectors using the head to tail method, you follow this procedure:

- Draw the first vector

- Draw the second vector, with its tail starting from the head of the first vector

- Draw the third vector, with its tail starting from the head of the second vector

.. and so on.

The resultant of the all vectors will be the vector connecting the tail of the 1st vector to the head of the last vector.

In this problem, the vectors make a closed polygon: this means that the head of the last vector coincides with the tail of the first vector.

Therefore, this means that the length of the resultant vector is zero.

A mass m attached to a spring of constant k is oscillating on a frictionless surface. A second mass of mass m is dropped on top
elixir [45]

Answer:

E. The period of oscillation increases.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

Frequency is the inverse of period (f = 1/T), so as period increases, frequency decreases.

Increasing the mass will increase the period and decrease the frequency.

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 13 m/s. Using the approximate value of
dem82 [27]

Answer:

v=v0 - gt

Explanation:

The equation for velocity is

v=v0 - gt

where v0=14m/s, g=10m/s^2.

in 1 second:

v=14-10=4m/s

it is positive so direction is upwards

in 2 seconds:

v=14-20=-6m/s

it is negative so direction is downwards
