Why is their displacement the same when the distance each traveled was different?

1 answer:

4 0

Displacement is how far something is from its starting position

for example if X moved 10 feet, turned around and moved 30 feet, its distance would be 40, but the displacement would be 20,
and if Y Moved 2 feet, and turned around and moved 22 feet, its distance would be 24, but its displacement would also be 20

A man has 887.5 J of kinetic energy while running with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is his mass?

monitta

Answer:

The mass of the man is 71 kg

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the man, K.E = 887.5 J

velocity of the man, v = 5 m/s

The mass of the man is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is the mass of the man

2K.E = mv²

m = 2K.E / v²

m = (2 x 887.5) / (5)²

m = 71 kg

Therefore, the mass of the man is 71 kg

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

$q_1=q_2=+1C$ are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

$F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N$
