What does displacement describe?

Physics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A vector which implies that an object has been moved or has changed its position is called displacement. Displacement is usually associated with length and direction of an imaginary straight point. It is the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point of final position (P). Displacement can also be described as the length between the final and initial point on the shortest path. It means an overall change in direction  of the object or point of a body.</span>

Which of the following would decrease your carbon footprint?
salantis [7]
The third option seems correct. Using any bag more than once will help in decreasing the carbon foot print.

This isds beause, if you use paper bag once only, then paper bag is being utilised and more and more paper is being used. So the best way is to use the bag more than once, whichever bag u are using.

A 62 kg skier is moving at 6.5 m/s on frictionless horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long
Degger [83]

Answer:

(A). The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B). The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of skier = 62 kg

Speed = 6.5 m/s

Length = 3.50 m

Coefficient kinetic friction = 0.30

Height = 2.5 m

(A) we need to calculate the work done by friction in crossing the patch

Using formula of work done

W=-\mu mg\times l

Put the value into the formula

W=-0.30\times62\times9.8\times3.50

W=-637.98\ J

The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B) we need to calculate the speed of skier

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{i}+U_{i}-W_{friction}=K.E_{f}+U_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+mgh-\mu mgl=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2+U_{f}

Final potential energy is zero

So, \dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+mgh-\mu mgl=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2

\dfrac{1}{2}v_{2}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{1}^2+gh-\mu gl

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{2}v_{2}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times6.5^2+9.8\times2.5+0.30\times9.8\times3.50

v_{2}=\sqrt{2\times55.915}

v_{2}=10.57\ m/s

The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Hence,  (A).The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B).The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 2.0 m wide and 0.65 m high. The inside rearview mirror is 0.50 m from the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

0.43 m

Explanation:

Angle of incident and angle of reflection is same.

tan Θh = L' / x (eye)

L' = Length of the window

x (eye) = Distance of the mirror from the eye

tan Θh = L / (x (eye) + xw)

xw = Distance of the mirror from the window

L'/ x (eye) = L / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = L*x (eye) / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = (2*0.5) / (0.5 + 1.8)

L' = 0.43 m
