If the final position vector of a moving object has a smaller magnitude than the initial position vector, then the change in the

object's position vector has a positive magnitude.
Physics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

The given statement is absolutely true.  this is because magnitude of a vector is always non negative, it can not be zero unless its a zero vector. So, in the given question, final position vector of a moving object has a smaller magnitude than the initial position vector, so, magnitude is neither zero nor negative. Hence, it has a positive magnitude.

A train moving with a velocity of 42.9 km/hour North, increases its speed with a uniform acceleration of 0.250 m/s^2 North until
ankoles [38]

Answer:

3658.24m

Explanation:

Hello!

the first thing that we must be clear about is that the train moves with constant acceleration

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Vf = final speed =160km/h=44.4m/s

Vo = Initial speed =42.9km/h=11.92m/s

A = acceleration =0.25m/s^2

X = displacement

solving

\frac {44.4^{2}-11.92^2}{2.(0.25)} =X\\X=3658.24m

the distance traveled by the train is 3658.24m

A 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to
34kurt
The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

a net force of 219 N is exterted on a rock. the rock has an acceleration of 3m/s^2 due to this force. what is the mass of the ro
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

<h2>73 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{219}{3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>73 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit
Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

  • Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

  • So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and  divide it by the time interval , as follows:

       F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N

       ⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)
