displacement is 4 km in north direction.


Explanation:

we are given

 A runner traveled 15 kilometers north first

then backtracked 11 kilometers south

we have to find displacement=d=?

assume that  east side represents +ve x- axis(horizontal)

and

north represent +ve y - axis (vertical)

we can take  x-axis (horizontal) as  i

and y-axis (vertical) as j.

Displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 km north

<u>Answer:</u>

 Resultant displacement is 4 km north.

<u>Explanation:</u>

    Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

   A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping,

   So initial displacement, 15 kilometers north = 15 j km

        Second displacement, 11 kilometers south = -11 j km

   Total displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 j km

   Total displacement is 4 km north.

A 4,000-kg car traveling at 20m/s hits a wall with a force of 80,000 N and comes to a stop. What was the impact time?
Nookie1986 [14]
Rate of change of momentum = impact force
(m*v-m*u)/t = F
4000*20/t = 80000 (note: v is zero as it stopped)

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.
zavuch27 [327]
<span>A) x = 41t
    The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.</span>

If you rub an inflated balloon against your hair and place it against a door, by what mechanism does it stick? explain.
Snowcat [4.5K]
When you rub inflated balloon with your hair or your kitten's fur, charge is induced on all over the balloon's surface. This is called "charging by friction" because you developed charges by rubbing to bodies with each other. It will also stick on your wall you can check it out. This is because of "unlike charges attract each other". Rubbed balloon and wall possessed unlike charges which made them stick together.

The potential energy= mass times gravity times height. However, we are missing height. Gravity is a constant that is 9.8 on Earth. We then solve for height by dividing 350 by 10 and then 9.8 to get about 3.5.
TLDR: 3.5
