Answer: c. displacement

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motion is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement.

In the specific case of the displacement, it is defined as the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector magnitude).

Therefore:

Displacement s the the change in position relative to an initial location.

Answer:

c: displacement

Explanation:

When a person moves from one point to another, the shortest distance between the two points in a straight line is what we call as the displacement. It is a vector quantity. Which means the change in position with respect to an initial position will be displacement.

Speed is a measure of change of distance relative to time. Velocity is a measure of change of displacement relative to time and acceleration is a measure of change of velocity relative to time.

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before

Zina [86]

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong... But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

$VT = K$

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

$V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}$

$V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280$

$V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280$

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

A 20-kilogram child is riding on a 10-kg sled over a frictionless icy surface at 8.0 meters per second. Calculate the kinetic en

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

K = 960 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child = 20 kg

Mass of a sled = 10 kg

Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.

The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg

= 30 kg

The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times (8)^2\\\\K=960\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.

A block of mass 0.08 kg is pushed against a spring with spring constant k=31 N/m. The spring is compressed 0.15 meters from its

ELEN [110]

Answer:

1.11 meters

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, elastic potential energy is built up in the spring. The total elastic potential energy can be found using the following formula

Ep = 1/2 x k x s²

where k = 31 N/m (spring constant)

s = 0.15 m (compression)

Ep = 3.4875 J

When the block of mass is released, the elastic potential energy (Ep) is converted to kinetic energy (Ek). From this we can find the initial velocity of the mass of block after release

Ek = 1/2 x m x u²

where Ek = Ep = 3.4875J

m = 0.08 kg (mass of block)

u = unknown (initial velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s

Now that we know the initial velocity we need to find the deceleration of the mass of block due to friction. We will first find the force of friction from the following formula

F = ∪ x m x g

where F = unknown (frictional force)

∪ = 0.4 (coefficient of friction)

m = 0.08 kg (mass of block)

g = 9.81 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)

F = 0.31392 N

From this force we calculate the deceleration based on the following formula

F = m x a

where F = 0.31392 (frictional force)

m = 0.08 kg (mass of block)

a = unknown (acceleration)

a = -3.924 m/s² -

*the negative sign is due to this value being deceleration

Now to find the total distance traveled we use the equation for motion

v² = u² + 2as

where v = 0 (final velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s (initial velocity

a = -3.924 m/s² (deceleration due to friction)

s = unknown (distance traveled)

s = 1.11 meters

A parallel plate capacitor is charged up by a battery. The battery is then disconnected, but the charge remains on the plates. T

larisa [96]

Answer:

a. Decreases

b. Increases

c. Remains the same

d. Increases

Explanation:

a. Capacitance is given by c= Ak€/d

where A is conductivity plate with Area

K is a constant

€ is dielectric with permittivity.

d is the distance

b. Potential difference is given by

V = Ed, since, the electric field remains the

same, the potential diterence also increases with increase in distance.

Since the capacitance depends upon the distance, and all the other factors are kept constant, the capacitance decreases.

c. Electric field remains the same because charge on the

plate remains the same.

d. since electric field remains the same and capacitance decreases, the energy increases.

E= 1/2c * Q^2
