A hockey puck moves 28 m southward then 14 m northward and finally 4 m southward Distance? And Magnitude and Direction

Physics
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Given that,

A hockey puck moves 28 m southward then 14 m northward and finally 4 m southward distance.

The total path covered is called distance and the shortest path covered is called displacement.

Distance = 28 m + 14 m + 4 m

Distance = 46 m

Let the nothward direction is positive y axis and southward direction is negative y axis.

Displacement is equal to the difference of final position and the initial position.

Displacement =-28 m - (-4 m)

= -24 m

The magnitude of displacement is in south direction.

3. Write any two types of force.​
Lerok [7]

Answer:

An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

F_{frict} = µ • F_{norm}

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃=  2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So,  the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.  F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_{1}*q_3 }{(d_{13})^{2}  } = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_3 }{(d_{23})^{2}  }

We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{(d_{13})^{2} } = \frac{q_{2} }{(d_{23})^{2} }

q_{1} = \frac{q_{2}*(d_{13})^{2}   }{(d_{23} )^{2}  }

q_{1} = \frac{5*(2)^{2} }{(4 )^{2}  }

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Three resistors of 100 W, 3900 W, and 1000 W are connected in series across a 200-V battery. What is the voltage drop across the
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

40 V

Explanation:

 I will assume that  the resistors are

           100 and 3900 and 1000 OHMS    <=====(NOT W)

In series , the resistances add together 100 + 3900 + 1000 = 5000 ohms total

V = IR

I = V / R      so the total current will be   200 v / 5000 ohms = .04 amps

                   this is the current through all of the resistors

      so for the   1000 ohm resistor     V = IR     .04 (1000) = 40 V

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>
