Answer:

Distance = 26.0m Displacement = 4.0m

Explanation:

Distance specifies only how far an object has traveled while displacement is the distance traveled in a specified direction.

Total distance traveled by the object will be distance travelled through north + distance travelled through south i.e 15.0m + 11.0m = 26.0m

Displacement is gotten by using the Pythagoras theorem. Since the object traveled in the same vertical direction (15.0m through north which is upward i.e positive y direction and 11.0m through south i.e in the negative y direction), the displacement will be 15.0m - 11.0m = 4.0m

If you ran 15 km/h for 20 min, how much distance would you cover?
nikitadnepr [17]
Since we have 15 kilometers per hour, and we're looking for 20 minutes, let's set up proportions.
20/60 minutes = x/15
20/60 = 1/3, so let's leave that simplified.
1/3 = x/15
Look at the denominators, 3 to 15 is a factor of 5, so multiply the numerator by 5.
1 • 5 = 5, so you will cover 5 kilometers in 20 minutes.

I hope this helps!

Write the equation that links current, potential difference, and resistance
mrs_skeptik [129]

You can write the equation in 3 different ways, depending on which quantity you want to be the dependent variable.  Any one of the three forms can be derived from either of the other two with a simple algebra operation.  They're all the same relationship, described by "Ohm's Law".

==> Current = (potential difference) / (resistance)

==> Potential difference = (current) x (resistance)

==> Resistance = (potential difference) / (resistance)

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N    

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that W=mg

So 65=m\times 9.8

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 2.4m/sec^2

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=7.4m/sec^2

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
