A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?

Physics

stepladder [879]3 years ago
5 0

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 10 m/s and has a frequency of 60 mhz? (1 mhz = 1,000,000 hz)
Dahasolnce [82]
V = 310 m/s
f = 60 MHz = 60 × 10^6 Hz
v = xf
x = v/f
x = 310/(60 × 10^6) m
x = 5.166667 × 10^(−6) m

A 195 g glider is moving at 5.3 m/s on a frictionless air track. It then collides with a stationary 295 g glider.
lord [1]

Answer:For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocities of the carts will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart. For a perfectly inelastic collision, the final velocity of the cart system will be 1/2 the initial velocity of the moving cart.
