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).

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco
Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}

<u>ac = 72 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)

<u>Fc = 504 N</u>

In a region of space where gravitational forces can be neglected, a sphere is accelerated by a uniform light beam of intensity 8
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

      a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

       P = I / c        absorbent surface

       P = F / A

       F / A = I / c

       F = I A / c

The area of ​​area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r²

We replace

     F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

     F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

     F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

      ρ = m / V

      m = ρ V

      m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

      m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

      m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

     a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

     a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s²               absorbent surface

The correct answer is B

A Honda Hawk motorcycle and its rider with a combined mass of 450 kg travels around a curve of radius 106 m with a speed of 18 m
umka21 [38]

Answer: coefficient of static friction

= 0.31

Explanation: Since they negotiate the curve without skidding, the frictional force (F1) equals the centripetal force (F2).

F1= uN

F2 = M*(v²/r)

M is the combined mass 450kg

V is the velocity 18m/s

r is the radius 106m

N is the normal reaction 4410N

u is the coefficient of static friction

Making u subject of the formula we have that,

u = {450*(18²/106)} /4410

=1375.47/4410

=0.31

NOTE: coefficient of friction is dimensionless. It as no Unit.
