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.

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = $\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}$

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = $\sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}$

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

$F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }$

= 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

= (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Part B

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

A truck on the freeway originally moving at 6.6 meters/second accelerates uniformly with acceleration a = 2.8 meters/second2 for

Sonja [21]

Answer:

139.514 metres

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the truck = 6.6 m/s

Acceleration of the truck = 2.8 m/s^2

Time interval = 7.9 s

Therefore we use the formula,

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

*where s(the distance travelled)...u(the initial velocity)...t(the time period)

; s = 6.6(7.9) + 1/2 (2.8)(7.9)^2

; s = 52.14 + 87.374

The distance moved by the truck = 139.514m

What is the volume of an object that has a density of 65g/cm3 and a mass of 130g.

lora16 [44]

Density ρ is mass m per unit volume v, or

ρ = m / v

Solving for v gives

v = m / ρ

So the given object has a volume of

v = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³
