At this point in the story, Beasy has driven his car (2+6+4) = 12 km.

He is parked at the thrift store, (2+4) = 6 km East and 6 km North of his starting point.

As the crow flies, the thrift store is √(6km² + 6km²) in a straight line from the starting point.

That's √(72 km²) , which works out to 8.485 km . When rounded to the nearest whole km, he can phone up his wife and tell her he's "eight kilometers from home can you hear me now ?".

Displacement is a vector, so to answer the question completely, we also need to state its direction.

The angle from home to the thrift store, relative to East, is arctan(6km/6km).

That's 45 degrees.

The full displacement vector is <em>8.485 km Northeast.</em>

A 2.4-kg ball falling vertically hits the floor with a speed of 2.5 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.5 m/s. What is the magnit

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.6 Ns

Explanation:

Note: From newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m(v-u).................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

Given: m = 2.4 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, u = -1.5 m/s (rebounds)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 2.4[2.5-(-1.5)]

I = 2.4(2.5+1.5)

I = 2.4(4)

I = 9.6 Ns

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity???

OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and C if R1=1430, R2=1350, R3=1100, R4=1350, and R5=1150.

Marianna [84]

R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14 series combination of R1 & R4

R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25

The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel

R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788 this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3

R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler

A box with a mass of 7 kilograms is pushed up a ramp to a height of 5 meters. What is the work done against the force of gravity

muminat

The potential energy of the box when it gets to the top is

(mass) (gravity) (height)

= (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (5 m)

= 343 joules.

That's the work done against the force of gravity. Any
additional work is done against the force of friction.
