A caterpillar travels straight for 3 cm, and then turns left and crawls 4 centimeters farther. If its final position is east of

its initial position, what is its displacement from its initial position?

Answer:

Displacement 5 cm from 45 degree above the initial position.

Explanation:

A caterpillar travels straight for 3 cm and then turns left 4 cm. Displacement is the difference between the final and initial position. Displacement is a vector quantity.

vector addition:

R = \sqrt {3^2+4^2} = 5 cm

3-squared + 4-squared = 5-squared

The bug's displacement is 5cm east.

Why are SI units helpful for describing objects? A. They are the standard used by scientists worldwide. B. They are more accurat
Ganezh [65]

They are the standard system used by scientists worldwide, and
officially by almost all nations of the world.  So if you describe a
measurement in terms of SI units, there's less chance that you'll
need to explain the measurement to anyone who reads it ...
most scientists and common people worldwide will understand
what your number means.

An ideal horizontal spring-mass system has a mass of 1.0 kg and a spring with constant 78 N/m. It oscillates with a period of 0.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

T = 0.71 seconds

Explanation:

Given data:

mass m = 1Kg, spring constant K = 78 N/m, time period of oscillation T = 0.71 seconds.

We have to calculate time period when this same spring-mass system oscillates vertically.

As we know

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }

This relation of time period is true under every orientation of the spring-mass system, whether horizontal, vertical, angled or inclined. Therefore, time period of the same spring-mass system oscillating  vertically too remains the same.

Therefore, T = 0.71 seconds

A ferris wheel has a radius of 36 feet and completes one revolution every 5.4 minutes. what is the speed of the ferris wheel (in
KIM [24]
In order to find the speed per minute you will have to divide the two numbers together. You need to do 36/5.4 so the answer will be around 6.7 feet per minute.

1. A rock of granite has a mass of 50 kg. if it’s weight in water
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The first part of the question is asking about BUOYANT FORCE or UPTHRUST.

Upthrust =TRUE WEIGHT-APPARENT WEIGHT

TRUE WEIGHT=mg

TRUE weight=50kg×10m/s²

=500N

upthrust=500N-380N

FB=120N

volume of the rock=mass/density.

since the granite is completely submerged, the volume of the displaced liquid will be equal to the volume of the body.

upthrust=Vdg

120N=V×1000kg/m³×10m/s²

120N=V×10000kg/m²s²

120/10000=V

v=0.012m³

2. A 15 kg mass fastened to the end of a steel wire of un-
Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Elongation of the wire is:

ΔL = F L₀ / (E A)

where F is the force,

L₀ is the initial length,

E is Young's modulus,

and A is the cross sectional area.

ΔL = T (0.5 m) / ((2.0×10¹¹ Pa) (0.02 cm²) (1 m / 100 cm)²)

ΔL = T (1.25×10⁻⁶ m/N)

T = (80,000 N/m) ΔL

Draw a free body diagram of the mass at the bottom of the circle.  There are two forces: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = mv²/r

T − mg = mω²r

T − (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (15 kg) (2 rev/s × 2π rad/rev)² (0.5 m + ΔL)

T − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)

Substitute:

(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = (2368.7 N/m) (0.5 m + ΔL)

(80,000 N/m) ΔL − 147 N = 1184.35 N + (2368.7 N/m) ΔL

(797631.3 N/m) ΔL = 1331.35 N

ΔL = 0.00167 m

ΔL = 1.67 mm
