Why is the following situation impossible? A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as h

er origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

Answer:

A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

So here in circular motion of the skater we can see that the total path length of the skater is along the arc of the circle while we can say that displacement is defined as the shortest distance between initial and final position of the object.

So it is not possible in any circle that arc-length is less than the chord joining the two points on the circle

As we know that arc length is given as

L = R\theta

length of chord is given as

L_c = 2Rsin(\frac{\theta}{2})

so here

L > L_c

R\theta > 2R sin(\frac{\theta}{2})

so we have

\frac{\theta}{2} > sin(\frac{\theta}{2})

Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.
Contact [7]
The center of mass is given with this formula:
x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}
Velocity is:
v=\frac{dv}{dt}
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\&#10;v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\
In our case it is:
v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}

1) The current in a light bulb is 0.335 Amps. How long does it take for a total charge of 2.76 C to
uysha [10]

Answer:

Time=8.23880597 seconds

Explanation:

Quantity of charge(q)=2.76c

Current(I)=0.335A

Time(t)=?

t=q/I

t=2.76/0.335

t=8.23880597seconds
