How can you measure the distance an object has moved?

Physics

Naily [24]3 years ago

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 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case
vovangra [49]

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,\rm \mu_k=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,\rm  \mu_s=0.520

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times  cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?
AlladinOne [14]
The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

A projectile is fired from the origin (at y = 0 m) as shown in the diagram. The initial velocity
Viktor [21]

Answer:

-26 m/s.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:

t=\frac{0m/s-26m/s}{-9.8m/s^2} =2.65s

With which we compute the maximum height:

y=26m/s*2.65s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.65s)^2 \\\\y=34.5m

Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:

v_f=\sqrt{0m/s-(-9.8m/s^2)*2*34.5m}\\ \\v_f=-26m/s

Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.

Regards.
