"Suppose an elephant (Tiny) was

Physics
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]4 years ago
7 0
Answer :

Distance traveled by Tiny : 8m + 6m + 2m = 16 meters
Displacement of Tiny : 8m (left) - 6m (right) + 2m (left) = 4 meters to the left

Explanation :

Distance : sum of all values of movement given in the question = 8 meters (left) + 6 meters (right) + 2 meters (left)

Displacement : Shortest distance covered from the starting point = 8 meters (left) + 2 meters (left) - 6 meters

Sry I could not explain more hope you found it useful

A body can have zero average velocity but not zero average speed. Why?​
bogdanovich [222]
Displacement can be zero so velocity is zero but the distance won’t be zero so speed won’t be zero

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

A sprinter accelerates at 7.5 m/s from rest in 2.0 s, what distance did she go? (15 m)
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

<em>The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the rate of change of the velocity of an object is constant.

The equation that rules the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The sprinter travels from rest (vo=0) to vf=7.5 m/s in t=2 s. Computing the acceleration:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{2}

a=3.75\ m/s^2

Now calculate the distance:

\displaystyle x=0*2+\frac{3.75*2^2}{2}

\displaystyle x=7.5\ m

The sprinter traveled a distance of 7.5 m

Two electronics technicians are discussing conductors and insulators. Technician A says that conductors have more free electrons
vitfil [10]

Technician A is Correct.

You can see this when he says that conductors have more free electrons than insulators. This statement is True.

While Technician B says that, insulators have the lower resistance than conductors. This statement is False.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 27.1: Magnetic Forces. A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kgkg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 CC has
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration  is a = 0.33 m/s^2

The direction is - \r k i.e the negative direction of the z-axis

Explanation:

 From  the question we are that

       The mass of the particle m = 1.8*10^{-3} kg

         The charge on the particle is q = 1.22*10^{-8}C

         The velocity is \= v = (3.0*10^4 m/s ) j

        The the magnetic field is  \= B = (1.63T)\r i + (0.980T) \r j

The charge experienced  a force which is mathematically represented as

         

                    F = q (\= v * \= B)

    Substituting value

         F = 1.22*10^{-8} (( 3*10^4 ) \r j \ \ X \ \  ( 1.63 \r i  + 0.980 \r j )T)

            = 1.22 *10^{-8} ((3*10^4 * 1.63)(\r j \ \  X \ \  \r i) + (3*10^4 * 0.980) (\r j \ \ X \ \  \r  j))

            = (-5.966*10^4 N) \r k

Note :

           i \ \ X \ \ j = k \\\\j \ \  X  \ \ k = i\\\\k  \ \ X \ \ i = j\\\\j \ \ X \ \ i = -k \\\\k \ \  X  \ \ j = -i\\\\i  \ \ X \ \ k = - j\\

Now force is also mathematically represented as

        F = ma

Making a the subject

      a = \frac{F}{m}

   Substituting values

     a =\frac{(-5.966*10^4) \r k}{1.81*10^{-3}}

        = (-0.33m/s^2)\r k

        = 0.33m/s^2 * (- \r k)
