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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

a boy steps off the end of a high diving board and drops into the water below. it takes the boy 0.78 seconds to reach the water.
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

7.644 feet

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling.

Enter an expression for the force constant for the floating raft, in terms of L, g, and the density of water, ρ.
andriy [413]

Answer:

K = ρL²g

Explanation:

Consider L as the length of the raft inside the water when the raft is displaced through additional distance y;

Then:

F = upthrust ( restoring force) = weight of the liquid displaced.

F = V_{\omega} \rho_{\omega} g= A y \rho_{\omega} g

where;

A = L²

\rho_{\omega} = \rho

F = ky.

Then,

Ay \rho g = ky

L^2y \rho g = ky

Divide both sides by y

K = ρL²g

How do the wavelengths of electromagnetic energy absorbed by materials on earth compare?
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

The shorter wavelength electromagnetic waves from sun are absorbed by earth material in form of short wavelength and the radiated wavelength are longer ones. Also higher energy waves are of shorter wavelength and lower energy waves have longer wavelength. So, they are absorbed as short wavelength and radiated back as long wavelength.
