Incomplete question. Full text is:

"<span>Give an example of a situation in which you would describe an object's position in (a) one-dimension coordinates (b) two-dimension coordinates (c) three-dimension coordinates"

Solution
(a) One dimension example: a man walking along a metal plank. We just need to specify one coordinate, the distance from the beginning of the plank.

(b) Two-dimension example: a ball moving on a circle. In this case, we need two coordinates: (x,y) to specify the position of the ball at every instant, since it is moving on a 2-D plane.

(c) The position of an airplane in the air: in this case we need 3 coordinates, the height, the latitude and the longitude of the airplane.</span>

A bowling ball has a mass of 5 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 1 m/s to 2 m/s?

faltersainse [42]

The linear momentum is given by $mv$ . Here $m$ is mass $v$ is velocity of the body. Given mass and velocities as $m=5,v_i=1,v_f=2$

Initial momentum is $mv_i=5*1=5$ and final momentum is $mv_f=5*2=10$ .

The correct answer is (A)

What would happen if the distance between the earth and the moon decreased

makkiz [27]

The gravitational force between earth and moon will increase.
by F = GMm/r^2
F is inversely proportional to r^2
when r decrease, F will increase.

The total pressure for a fluid is a. the sum of the hydrostatic and static pressures. b. the sum of the hydrostatic and dynamic

m_a_m_a [10]

<h2>The option a is most appropriate </h2>

Explanation:

The total pressure due to liquid column at any place is the sum of

( i ) pressure due to liquid column called hydrostatic pressure

( ii ) the pressure due to air column above the liquid column , which is called the static pressure

Thus total pressure is the sum of hydrostatic and static pressure .

Thus the option a is most appropriate

How does the resultant displacement change as the angle between two vectors increases from 90° to 120°?

user100 [1]

The resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

The resultant of the two vectors is given by parallelogram law of vectors.

The parallelogram law of vector addition states that if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from the point of intersection of the vectors represents the resultant vector in magnitude and direction.

The resultant of these vectors, say vector A, and B, is given as;

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab.Cos (\theta )$

When;

θ = 90°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2$

When;

θ = 120°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 + ab$

Thus, the resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

A puck of mass 0.5100.510kg is attached to the end of a cord 0.8270.827m long. The puck moves in a horizontal circle without fri

yanalaym [24]

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec
