A jogger runs 300 meters due east and then turns and runs 500 meters due west.

1 answer:

3 0

It’ll be 200 meters West because 500-300=200 and The west direction has the greatest force you could say ... Anytime you have a question asking about displacement you subtract then use the direction with the greatest number ..

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

$Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\ Em_0 = Em_{f}$

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

$p_{f} = (m + M) v$

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

$p_0 = p_{f}$

m v₀ = (m + M) v

v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

$R=A=B$

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

$R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°$

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°

Have a nice day!

I am pushing in a large box with 200 N of force. Clint is pushing on the box with 200 N of force in the opposite direction. Why

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Balanced forces

Explanation:

Balanced forces are where two forces of equal size act on an object in opposite directions. It means that in each direction, any pushes and pulls are balanced by another force in the opposite direction.
