How can you measure the distance an object has moved?

Physics
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
8 0

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

A 1.5 m wire carries a 9A current when a potential difference of 84 v is applied. what is the resistance of the wire
WARRIOR [948]
Ohm's law states that I=V/R (Current=volts divided by resistance). Since we're looking for resistance, we'll rewrite it as R=V/I. Then just plug in the numbers; R=84/9, R= 9 1/3 or 28/3. The resistance of the wire is 9.33... or 9 1/3 ohm's, depending on how you wanna write it.

Cart A, with a mass of 0.20 kg, travels on a horizontal air trackat 3.0m/s and hits cart B, which has a mass of 0.40 kg and is i
inysia [295]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{C. 2.3 m/s}}

Explanation:

Data:

m_{\text{A} } = \text{0.20 kg};\,v_{\text{Ai}} = \text{3.0 m/s}\\m_{\text{B} } = \text{0.40 kg};\,v_{\text{Bi}} = \text{2.0 m/s}\\

Calculation:

This is a perfectly inelastic collision.  The two carts stick together after the collision and move with a common final velocity.

The conservation of momentum equation is

\begin{array}{rcl}m_{\text{A}}v_{\text{Ai}} +m_{\text{B}} v_{\text{Bi}}&=&(m_{\text{A}}  + m_{\text{B}})v_{\text{f}}\\0.20\times 3.0 + 0.40\times 2.0 & = & (0.20 + 0.40)v_{\text{f}}\\0.60 + 0.80 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\1.40 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\v_{\text{f}}&=& \dfrac{1.40}{0.60}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.3 m/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The centre of mass has a velocity of $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.3 m/s}}$}

The rocky planets are made of material that is much (mire/less) dense than the outer planets.​
IRINA_888 [86]

The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are called the "<u>GAS</u> giants".

The rocky planets are called "rocky" because they're made of <u>ROCK</u>.

Does this help guide you to the correct choice ?

Here's another hint:  The MOST dense planet in our solar system, the one we call "Earth", is one of the 'rocky planets'.
