Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

What is the momentum of a 950 kg car moving at 10.0 m/s?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 9500 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 950 kg

velocity = 10.0 m/s

We have

momentum = 950 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>9500 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find the position vector of a particle that has the given acceleration and the specified initial velocity and position. a(t) = 1

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Acceleration $a(t)=14t\hat{i]+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k}$ [/tex]

and $v(0)=\hat{i}$

$r(0)=\hat{j}$

we know $a=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\int dv=\int adt$

$v(t)=\int (14t\hat{i}+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k})dt$

$v(t)=7t^2\hat{i}-\cos t\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}+c$

at $t=0$

$v(0)=0-1\cdot \hat{j}+0+c$

$c=\hat{i}+\hat{j}$

$v(t)=(7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}$

and $\frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=v(t)$

$\int dr=\int vdt$

$r(t)=\int ((7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2})dt$

$r(t)=(\frac{7}{2}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(t-\sin (t))\hat{j}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-\frac{1}{2}\cos 2t)\hat{k}+c_2$

at $t=0$

$r(0)=\hat{j}$

$r(t)=(\frac{7}{3}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(1+t-\sin t)\hat{j}+\frac{1}{4}(1-\cos 2t)\hat{k}$

A resistor is connected to a 36v power supply. An ammeter measures a current of 2.0 A going through it. Determine the resistance

m_a_m_a [10]

R = 18 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

V = 36 volts

I = 2.0 A

R = ?

Use Ohm's law to solve for the resistance:

V = IR

or

R = V/I

= (36 volts)/(2.0 A)

= 18 ohms
