A commuter train travels from New York to Washington, DC, and back in 6 hours and 5 minutes. The distance between the two statio

ns is approximately 363km. What is the displacement of the train?

vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The train's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given data,

The time taken by the train from NY to Washington and back is, t = 6 h 5 min

The distance between the two stations is, d = 363 km

Therefore, the total distance the train traveled is, d' = 726 km

The displacement is defined as the change in position coordinates with respect to its original position.

If the train travels from one point and returns back to the same point after some time, there is no change in the position coordinates with respect to its original position.

Hence, the train's displacement is zero.

A horizontal force of 92.7 N is applied to a 40.5 kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.13 m/s2, wha
lord [1]

Answer:

The value is F_f =  46.935 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  magnitude of the horizontal force is F  =  92.7 \  N

     The mass of the crate is  m  =  40.5 \  kg

     The acceleration of the crate is  a =  1.13 \ m/s

Generally the net force acting on the crate is mathematically represented as

       F_{net} =  F -  F_f =  ma

Here F_f is force of kinetic friction (in N) acting on the crate

      So  

            92.7  -  F_f =  40.5 * 1.13

=>         F_f =  46.935 \  N

2 (a) A plane from airport A flies 280 km to the east to airport B. The plane then travelled north to airport C, 190 km away. (i
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

See attached diagram

280 km   east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be    arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

A spinning ice skater will speed up if he brings his arms close to his body. Which of the following statements explains this phe
xxMikexx [17]
A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!
