If a man travels from 0m to 5m then back to -3m, all in four seconds, what is the mans displacement?

Physics

Answer:

-3 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the final position minus the initial position.

Δx = x − x₀

Δx = -3 m − 0 m

Δx = -3 m

When a 5.0 kg box is hung from a spring, the spring stretches to 50 mm beyond its relaxed length. (a) In an elevator acceleratin
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

a) the spring will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

b) spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

Mass m = 5 kg

Extension of the spring X = 50 mm = 0.05 m

Spring constant k = ?

 we know that;

mg = kX  

5 × 9.81 = k(0.05)

k = 981 N/m

a)

Given that; Acceleration of the elevator a = 2 m/s² upwards

Extension of the spring in this situation = X1

Force exerted by the spring = F

we know that;

ma = F - mg

ma = kX1 - mg

we substitute

5 × 2 = 981 × X1 - (5 ×9.81 )

X1 = 0.06019 m

X1 = 60.19 mm

Therefore the spring  will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

B)

Acceleration of the elevator = a

The spring is relaxed i.e, it is not exerting any force on the box.

Only the weight force of the box is exerted on the box.

ma = mg

a = g

a = 9.81 m/s² downwards.

Therefore spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

On a straight road with the +x axis chosen to point in the direction of motion, you drive for 5 hours at a constant 20 miles per
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph

Which is the correct interpretation of the formula mgf2? the lattice contains 1 magnesium atom for every 2 fluorine atoms. the l
mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

MgF_2  is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and  and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of MgF_2  is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.
