A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu

de and direction?
Physics

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

The table below shows the acceleration of gravity on different bodies in the solar system.
levacccp [35]

Do you remember the formula for potential energy ?

PE = (mass) (gravity) (height)

If the mass and the height are always the same, then the least PE comes from the least gravity. Surely you can find THAT in the table.

There is a parallel plate capacitor. Both plates are 4x2 cm and are 10 cm apart. The top plate has surface charge density of 10C
liberstina [14]

Answer:

1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C

2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0

3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;

The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm

The distance between the plates = 10 cm

The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²

The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²

The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²

1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C

2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;

V_{tot} = V_{q1} + V_{q2}

V_q = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{r}

Therefore, we have;

The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

V_{tot} =  \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} + \dfrac{k \cdot (-q)}{0.05}  = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} - \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} = 0

The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, V_{tot} = 0

3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;

E =\dfrac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0 } = \dfrac{10 \ C/m^2}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N\cdot m^2)} \approx 1.1294 \times 10^{12}\ N/C

E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates

The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e = E × e

∴ F_e = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C ×  -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Two objects have the same velocity. These two objects have different masses. Which object will
kogti [31]

Answer:

The object with the greater mass will have the greater momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object with mass <em>m</em>, moving with velocity <em>, </em>is given by the formula

M = <em>mv</em>

<em />

Since both objects have the same velocity <em>v, </em>it is clear that the object with the bigger mass will have the greater momentum
