What does displacement describe?

1 answer:

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>

The vector sum of the forces acting on the beam is zero, and the sum of the moments about the left end of the beam is zero. (a)

Marysya12 [62]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The vector sum of the forces acting on the beam is zero, and the sum of the moments about the left end of the beam is zero.

(a) Determine the forces and and the couple

(b) Determine the sum of the moments about the right end of the beam.

(c) If you represent the 600-N force, the 200-N force, and the 30 N-m couple by a force F acting at the left end of the beam and a couple M, what is F and M?

Answer:

the x-component of the force at A is $A_{x}$ = 0

the y-component of the force at A is $A_{y}$ = 400 N

the couple acting at A is; $M_{A}$ = 146 N-m

the sum of the momentum about the right end of the beam is; ∑ $M_{R}$ = 0

the equivalent force acting at the left end is; F = -400J ( N)

the couple acting at the left end is; M = - 146 N-m

Explanation:

Given that;

The sum of the forces acting on the beam is zero ∑f = 0

Sum of the moments about the left end of the beam is also zero ∑ $M_{L}$ = 0

Vector force acting at A, $F_{A}$ = $A_{x}i$ + $A_{y}j$

Now, From the image, we have;

∑f = 0

$F_{A}$ - 600j + 200j = 0i + 0j

$A_{x}i$ + $A_{y}j$ - 600j + 200j = 0i + 0j

$A_{x}i$ + ( $A_{y}$ - 400)j = 0i + 0j

now by equating i- coefficients'

$A_{x}$ = 0

so, the x-component of the force at A is $A_{x}$ = 0

also by equating j-coefficient

$A_{y}$ - 400 = 0

$A_{y}$ = 400 N

hence, the y-component of the force at A is $A_{y}$ = 400 N

we also have;

∑ $M_{L}$ = 0

$M_{A}$ - ( 30 N-m ) - ( 0.380 m )( 600 N ) + ( 0.560 m )( 200 N ) = 0

$M_{A}$ - 30 N-m - 228 N-m + 112 Nm = 0

$M_{A}$ - 146 N-m = 0

$M_{A}$ = 146 N-m

Therefore, the couple acting at A is; $M_{A}$ = 146 N-m

The sum of the moments about right end of the beam is;

∑ $M_{R}$ = (0.180 m)(600N) - (30 N-m) - ( 0.56 m)( $A_{y}$ ) + $M_{A}$

∑ $M_{R}$ = (108 N-m) - (30 N-m) - ( 0.56 m)(400 N ) + 146 N-m

∑ $M_{R}$ = (108 N-m) - (30 N-m) - ( 224 N-m ) + 146 N-m

∑ $M_{R}$ = 0

Therefore, the sum of the momentum about the right end of the beam is; ∑ $M_{R}$ = 0

The 600-N force, the 200-N force and the 30 N-m couple by a force F which is acting at the left end of the beam and a couple M.

The equivalent force at the left end will be;

F = -600j + 200j (N)

F = -400J ( N)

Therefore, the equivalent force acting at the left end is; F = -400J ( N)

Also couple acting at the left end

M = -(30 N-m) + (0.560 m)( 200N) - ( 0.380 m)( 600 N)

M = -(30 N-m) + (112 N-m) - ( 228 N-m))

M = 112 N-m - 258 N-m

M = - 146 N-m

Therefore, the couple acting at the left end is; M = - 146 N-m

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a

wariber [46]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

=> R = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = $\frac{12.0^{2} }{4}$

R₁ = $\frac{144}{4}$

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = $\frac{12.0^{2} }{4}$

R₂ = $\frac{144}{4}$

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

$\frac{1}{R_{X} }$ = $\frac{1}{R_1}$ + $\frac{1}{R_2}$ -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

$\frac{1}{R_X}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$ + $\frac{1}{36}$

$\frac{1}{R_X}$ = $\frac{2}{36}$

Rₓ = $\frac{36}{2}$

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = $\frac{11.7}{18}$

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = $\frac{0.3}{0.65}$

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?

AysviL [449]

K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!

An observer sees a full moon in the night sky. What will the Moon's phase be 10 days later?

algol [13]

I'm pretty sure the moon would be a crescent within the 10 day period because it takes about 28 days for the moon to go through the different stages.
