A truck travels due east for a distance of 1.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 8.7 km, and finally turns around again and

travels 3.0 km due east. (a) What is the total distance that the truck travels? km (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the truck's displacement?

Answer:

a) Total distance travelled = 1.9km + 8.7km + 3.0km = 13.6km

b) Total displacement = -1.9km + 8.7km-3.0km=+3.8km

Total displacement = 3.8km due west

Explanation:

a) Total distance travelled is a scalar quantity it is not affected by the direction it's only concerned with the magnitude.

Total distance travelled = 1.9km + 8.7km + 3.0km = 13.6km

b) Total displacement is a vector quantity it takes into consideration both magnitude and direction.

Taking west as positive and east as negative.

Total displacement = -1.9km + 8.7km-3.0km = +3.8km

Total displacement = 3.8km due west

At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas attached to the bottom of a vertical spring of force constant 16.0 N/m is set into osci
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

List 2 examples of objects demonstrating mechanical energy.
OlgaM077 [116]
Windmills run on the principle of mechanical energy and work. Moving air (wind) possesses some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy (due to motion). This energy gives the air the ability to do work on the blades of the fan.

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 4 forces. These are 1) Gravity, 2) Weak Nuclear Force, 3) Electromagnetism, and 4) Strong Nuclear Force. 

Order of strength from weakest to strongest: Gravity, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force

Type of Range:

Gravity - Unlimited range

Weak Nuclear Force - Limited range

Electromagnetism - Infinite range

Strong Nuclear Force - Limited Range

Found in:

Gravity - Exists between all objects with mass

Weak Nuclear Force - Governs over beta decays like the emission of electron or positron

Electromagnetism - the attraction found between particles that are electrically charged

Strong Nuclear Force - Found in atoms and subatomic particles. It is responsible for holding the atoms' nucleus together.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.
