A kayaker moves 26 meters southward, then 18 meters

Physics

Svetllana [295]3 years ago

Total distance: 56 meters. Magnitude and direction of displacement: 20 meters South.

Explanation:

The term distance refers to space between one point and other, or the total space a body or object covered while moving. In the case presented, this can be calculated by adding the partial distances given. This means the total distance is  56 meters as 26 meters + 18 meters + 12 meters = 56 meters.

On the other hand, displacement considers the distance from the initial position to the final position, and the direction of movement. This means partial distances should not be added but each movement should be considered according to the direction. The process is shown below:

-The first movement was 26 meters southward; this means by the end of this movement the distance between the initial position was 26 meters south.

- The second movement was 18 northward; this means the kayaker moved 18 meters towards the position. This changes the displacement to 8 meters South as 26 meters south - 18 meters north = 8 meters to the South.

-The last movement was 12 meters sound; this means the kayaker increased the distance from the original position 8 meters to the South + 12 meters to the South = 20 meters South (total displacement.)

if a man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s squared. what amount of force acted on the ball?
kkurt [141]

F = ma

We have mass = 0.2kg

and acceleration = 20 m/s^2

So..

F = (0.2)(20)

F = 4 N

What’s the kinetic energy of the object? Use .
kirill115 [55]
We have: K.E. = mv² / 2
here, m = 4 Kg
v = 9 m/s

Substitute their values into the expression:
K.E. = (4)(9)² / 2
K.E. = (4)(81) / 2
K.E. = 324 / 2
K.E. = 162 Joules

In short, Your Answer would be 162 J

Hope this helps!

John stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand by what process does the heat travel up the spoon
Gemiola [76]

Answer: is<u><em> Second Law of Thermodynamics (conduction)</em></u>.

john stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand is due to the basic law of conduction, also known as the second law of thermodynamics . Heat always travels from hot things toward the cold things, is proved by the phenomena that a cup of tea always get cold, and and a cold dessert or ice cream always melts. Its not possible that the cup of tea become boiling by itself and similarly an ice cream getting frozen on its own in on a hot day. To understand this point there are three ways in which heat can travel namely, conduction, radiation and convection. The process due to heat travels up to the spoon from the soup towards john's hand is called conduction. Conduction is the process in which heat travels between two solid things that are at different temperature. Cooking soup in a saucepan with a metal spoon will make your fingers hot because of the conduction of heat, that travels through the boiling soup pan through metal spoon towards your hand.

A microphone receiving a pure sound tone feeds an oscilloscope, producing a wave on its screen. If the sound intensity is origin
Temka [501]

Answer:

The new intensity = 3.38 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

Explanation:  

Intensity of sound wave:

The intensity of sound  is the rate of flow of flow of energy, per unit area, perpendicular to the direction of the sound wave.

Intensity (I) ∝ A²

where I = intensity, A = Amplitude.

∴ I₁/I₂ = A₁²/A²₂............................... equation 1

From the question, the amplitude increase by 30% of the initial

∴ A₂ = A₁ + 0.3A₁ = 1.3A₁, I₁ = 2.00×10⁻⁵ W/m²

∴ (2.00×10⁻⁵)/I₂ = A₁²/(1.3A₁)²

(2.00×10⁻⁵)/I₂ = 1/1.3²

 making I₂ the subject of the equation

I₂ = (2.00 × 10⁻⁵)×1.3² = 3.38 × 10⁻⁵ W/m₂

The new intensity = 3.38 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²
