A car moved 60 km East and 90 km West. What is the displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

We have been given that car is moving 60 km in east

And 90 km in west

That means we are given two different directions  

So, if distance in East is taken to be positive 60 km

Then the distance when car is moving in west direction will be taken as -90 km

So, the displacement means how far the object is from to initial to final position.

So, the displacement will be  (-90)+60 = -30

So, it will be in -30 km (minus is west direction).

A uniform, spherical, 1900.0 kg shell has a radius of 5.00 m. Find the gravitational force this shell exerts on a 1.80 kg point
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spherical shell,m_1=1900 kg

Mass=m_2=1.80 kg

Radius of shell=r=5 m

Distance between two masses=r=5.01 m

Because distance measure from center .

Gravitational force

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

G=6.67\times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2

Using the formula

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{1900\times 1.80}{(5.01)^2}

F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N

Hence,the gravitational force =F=9.09\times 10^{-9} N

A 1.50 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level, reaches a maximum height of 7.00 m, then returns to the ground. Calc
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

17.565 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity

I = mv..................... Equation 1

But we can calculate the value of v  using the equation of motion under gravity.

v² =  u²+2gs............. Equation 2

Where u = initial velocity, s = maximum heigth, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: u = 0 m/s (at the maximum heigth), s = 7.0 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

v² = 0²+ 2×7×9.8

v² = 137.2

v = √137.2

v = 11.71 m/s.

Also given: m = 1.50 kg

substitute these values into equation 1

Therefore,

I = 1.5×11.71

I = 17.565 kgm/s

Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 14.4 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00 ✕ 108
Marina86 [1]

Answer

Given,

Time to hear the clap = 14.4 s

speed of the light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

a) distance where lightning strike

    D = s x t

    D = 14.4 x 343

   D = 4939.2 m

b) No, we do not need to know the value of speed of light. Because we need to calculate the distance where we hear the sound. To calculate that we need to know the speed of sound.

Superconducting materials generate a strong ______ field. gravitational pressure magnetic nuclear
lisov135 [29]
Superconducting materials don't generate anything. 
But since their electrical resistance is zero, it's possible
to push a huge current through them without loss, and it's
the huge current that sets up a strong magnetic field around
the conductor.
