Can the reaction distance be a negitive?

Physics

Yes. Displacement is a vector, as opposed to distance, which is a scalar. Since displacement is a vector quantity, the negative sign represents direction. As with velocity and acceleration, it just comes down to how you define your coordinate system

A sample of gold has a volume of 2 cm3 and a mass of 38.6 grams. What would be the density, and three other properties of the sa
lukranit [14]

The density of the gold is calculated to be "19,300 kg/m³".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Volume = 2cm³

Mass = 38.6 grams.

To Find:

Density of the gold = ?

Solution:

Density is obtained by dividing mass of the sample by its volume and it is given in the units of kg/m³.

Mass in grams is converted into kg as,

1 g = 0.001 kg

38. 6 g = \frac{38.6}{1000} = 0.0386 kg

Now we have to convert cm³ to m³ as,

1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³

2 cm³ = 2 × 10⁻⁶ m³

So Density = \frac{0.0386 k g}{2 \times 10^{-6} m^{3}}=19,300 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Physical properties of Gold:

  • Gold is a heavy metal.
  • It is Malleable and ductile.
  • It is a corrosion resistant element.

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

F = 1958.4 N

Explanation:

By volume conservation of the fluid on both sides we can say that volume of fluid displaced on the side of the car must be equal to the volume of fluid on the other side

so we have

L_1A_1 = L_2A_2

1.20(\pi 18^2) = L_2(\pi 5^2)

L_2 = 15.55 m

so the car will lift upwards by distance 1.2 m and the other side will go down by distance 15.55 m

So here the net pressure on the smaller area is given as

P = P_{atm} + \frac{12,000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + \rho g (1.2 + 15.55)

excess pressure exerted on the smaller area is given as

P_{ex} = \frac{12000}{\pi (0.18)^2} + 800(9.81)(16.75)

P_{ex} = 2.49\times 10^5 Pascal

now the force required on the other side is given as

F = P_ex (area)

F = (2.49 \times 10^5)(\pi (0.05)^2)

F = 1958.4 N

A 2.00-kg block is pushed against a spring with negligible mass and force constant k = 400 N/m, compressing it 0.220 m. When the
marin [14]

Answer:

0.82052 m

Explanation:

potential energy of spring = kinetic energy

=> 0.5kx^2 = 0.5mv^2

=> v=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }

v=\sqrt{\frac{400\times 0.220^2}{2} }

v= 3.11127 m/s

angle = 37°

thus height = distance×sin(37) = D×0.60182

Also,

m×g×h = 0.5×m×v^2

=> 2×9.8×D×0.60182 = 0.5×2×3.11127×3.11127

=> D = 0.82052 m
