2. A child observes a caterpillar walking on a window sill. The caterpillar walks 18 cm to the left, then 6 cm to
1 answer:
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.

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
Density of ethane can be obtained as
Total pressure in atmosphere can be obtained as
= 441.84 kPa
= 4.36 atm
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:
where
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:
(in the forward direction)
We can also calculate what is the new momentum of the car. In fact, the initial momentum is
And so, the new momentum is
