An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. He then turns around and follows the path back to

the source of the food. What is his displacement when he arrives back at the food source?

The displacement is zero. The most important concept to understand is the difference between displacement and total distance traveled. Total distance traveled would be tracking the length of the entire path the ant walked for the whole time (4.26m x 2). Displacement is how far from a designated origin (here, the food source) the ant ended up at the end of the time. Mathematically, the ant walked 4.26m from food source to nest (+4.26m) and then walked from the nest to food source (-4.26m), so the net displacement is [+4.26] + [-4.26] = 0m.

An 80-N crate is pushed at constant speed for a distance of 5.0 m upward along a smooth inclined plane that makes an angle of 30
Mice21 [21]

The work done by the pushing force is 200 J; option B.

<h3>What is work done in an inclined plane?</h3>

The work done in an inclined plane is given by the formula below:

  • Work done = Force * distance

Force, F = mgsinθ + ma

where a = 0

Work done = 80 * 5 * sin 30°

Work done = 200 J

In conclusion, work done is the product of force and distance.

A particle with charge -5.60 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field →B=−(1.25T) k The magnetic force on the particle is measur
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = q ( v x B)

- 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ (v x - 1.25 k )

- 3.4x 10⁻⁷i + 7.4 x 10⁻⁷j

Let v = ai+bj +ck

Force = - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ [(ai+bj +ck) x - 1.25 k )]

= - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ ( 1.25aj - 1.25bi )

= - 7 a j + 7 b i

( 7bi - 7aj ) x 10⁻⁹

Comparing with given force

7b x 10⁻⁹ b = - 3.4 x 10⁻⁷

b = - 48.57

- 7 a x 10⁻⁹ = 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

a = - 105.7

velocity

= -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck

b ) Component along k can not be obtained .

c ) v . F = ( -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck ) . −(3.40×10−7N) ˆı +(7.40×10−7N) ˆȷ

= 105.7 x 3.4 x 10⁻⁷ - 48.57 x 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

= 359.38 x 10⁻⁷ - 359.38 x 10⁻⁷

=0

angle between v and F = 90 degree

Suppose you have a device that extracts energy from ocean breakers in direct proportion to their intensity. If the device produc
babymother [125]

Answer:

2.81 kW      

Explanation:

Initial power output, P = 20.0 kW

Initial amplitude, A = 1.20 m

Final Amplitude, A = 0.450 m

Power is proportional to extracted energy which is proportional to the intensity of the wave and intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.

P ∝ E ∝ I ∝ A²

\frac{P'}{P}=\frac{A'^2}{A^2}

Substitute the values to find the value of power produced:

P'=\frac{0.450^2}{1.20^2}\times 20.0 kW=2.81 kW
