What does displacement describe?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Varg sees a spring that has a spring constant of 4 N/m that is stretched 5 m. He stretches the spring an additional 5 m. Conside

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E = 200 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, K = 4 N/m

initial stretching in the spring, x = 5 m

Finally, it is stretched an additional 5 m i.e. x' = 5 m

Let E is the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring. it is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x+x')^2$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (10)^2$

E = 200 J

So, the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring is 200 J. hence, this is the required solution.

Sound exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. Such a loudspeaker is mounted out

blondinia [14]

Answer:

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the sound is given as

$v = 332 + 0.6 t$

now at t = 273 k = 0 degree

$v = 332 m/s$

so we have

$a sin\theta = N\lambda$

$a sin\theta = N(\frac{v_1}{f})$

now when temperature is changed to 313 K we have

$t = 313 - 273 = 40 degree$

now we have

$v = 332 + (0.6)(40)$

$v_2 = 356 m/s$

$a sin\theta' = N(\frac{v_2}{f})$

now from two equations we have

$\frac{sin19.5}{sin\theta} = \frac{332}{356}$

so we have

$sin\theta = 0.358$

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

What does density have to do with heat?

joja [24]

If you take a fluid (i.e. air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is not heated.

An object on a planet has a mass of 243 kg. What is the acceleration of the

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of a planet of mass M and radius R

a = G*M/R^2.

In this case we have:

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N (m/kg)^2

R = 2.32 x 10^7 m

M = 6.35 x 10^30 kg

Now we can compute:

a = (6.67*6.35/2.32^2)x10^(-11 + 30 - 2*7) m/s^2 = 786,907.32 m/s^2

The acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.

Since the moon has less mass than the earth what happens to objects on the moon

postnew [5]

When you drop an object on the moon, it falls to the ground.
But it only falls about 1/6 as fast as it falls on Earth.
