What does displacement describe?

Physics

Katarina [22]3 years ago

<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>

If the force vector has a magnitude of F = 12.5 N, the displacement has a length of Δr = 0.75 m, and the angle between the vecto
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: 8.81 J

Explanation: The scalar or dot product of 2 vector equals the product of the magnitude of both vectors and the cosine value of the angle between them

Magnitude of vector f (force) as given in the question = 12.5N

Magnitude of length = 0.75m

Angle between vectors = 25°

F. Δr = 12.5 * 0.75 * cos 25

F. Δr = 12.5 * 0.75 * 0.9063

F. Δr = 8.81 J

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

what is the mass of a cannon ball if a force 2500 N gives the cannon ball an acceleration of 200 m/s squared?
nignag [31]

Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ;  [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)


Given:                      Find:                   Formula:                  Solve for m:

F: 2500N                 mass:?                F=ma Eq.1              m=F/a  Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2  


Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg
