Answer:

D = 8 cm

Explanation:

It is given that, the caterpillar walks 18 cm to the left, then 6 cm to  the right, then 10 cm to the left.

We need to find the displacement of the caterpillar. The attached figure shows the path traveled by the caterpillar. A is the initial position, then it reaches B and finally it reaches C.

Let right side is positive and left is negative. We know that,

Displacement = final position - initial position

= C - A

= -10-(-18)

= 8 cm

Hence, the displacement of the caterpillar is 8 cm.

A car starting from rest accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 5.5m/s for 6s.If the car after this acceleration s
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The time it takes to stop is 13.75 seconds

Explanation:

A body moving with constant acceleration, 'a', for a time, 't', has a final velocity, 'v', given by the following kinematic equation;

v = u + a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the body

a = The acceleration of the body

t = The time of acceleration (accelerating period) of the body

u = The initial velocity of the body

The given parameters for the acceleration of the car are;

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s (a car starting from rest)

The constant acceleration of the car, a =  5.5 m/s²

The acceleration duration, t = 6 s

Therefore, we have;

The final velocity of the car after the acceleration, v = 0 m/s + 5.5 m/s² × 6 s = 33 m/s

The final velocity of the car after the acceleration, v = 33 m/s

When the car slows down uniformly, and comes to a stop (final velocity, v₂ = 0 m/s), it has a constant negative acceleration, (deceleration) '-a₂'

The given parameters when the car slows down  are;

The deceleration, -a₂ = 2.4 m/s²

The final velocity, v₂ = 0 m/s

The initial velocity, u₂ = v = 33 m/s

The time it takes to stop = t₂

-a₂ = 2.4 m/s²

∴ a₂ = -2.4 m/s²

From, v = u + a·t, we have;

v₂ = v + a₂·t₂

By plugging in the values of the variables, we have;

0 m/s = 33 m/s + (-2.4 m/s²) × t₂

∴ 2.4 m/s² × t₂ = 33 m/s

t₂ = 33 m/s/(2.4 m/s²) = 13.75 s

The time it takes to stop, t₂ = 13.75 seconds

NASA is designing a mission to explore Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan has numerous hydrocarbon lakes containing a mix
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Total pressure in atmosphere  IS 4.36 atm

Explanation:

Given Data:

Depth of lake is 400 mtr

surface tension is 147 kilopascals

surface temperature  94 kelvin

Gravity = 1.35 m/s^2

specific gravity of methane(liquid) = 0.415

specific gravity of ethane(liquid) = 0.546

density of methane can be obtained as

\rho_{methane} = 0.415\times 1000 = 415 kg/m^3

Density of ethane can be obtained as

\rho_{ethane} = 0.546\times 1000 = 546 kg/m^3

Total pressure in atmosphere can be obtained as

P = surface\ tension + \rho_{max}gh

 = 147 +546\times 1.35\times 400\times 10^{-3}

  = 441.84 kPa

= 441.84\times 0.009869 atm\kPa

 = 4.36 atm

A 1000-kilogram car traveling due east at 15 meters per second hit from behind and receives a forward impulse of 6000 newton-sec
strojnjashka [21]

The change in momentum of the car is 6000 kg m/s

Explanation:

According to the impulse theorem, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse exerted on the object, therefore:

\Delta p = I

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum

I is the impulse exerted

For the car in this problem, the impulse received is

I = 6000 kg m/s (in the forward direction)

Therefore, the change in momentum of the car is equal to this value:

\Delta p = I = 6000 kg m/s (in the forward direction)

We can also calculate what is the new momentum of the car. In fact, the initial momentum is

p_i = mu = (1000 kg)(15 m/s)=15,000 kg m/s

And  so, the new momentum is

p_f = p_i + \Delta p = 15,000 + 6,000 = 21,000 kg m/s
