Answer:
Explanation:
Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;
d² = x²+y²
y = 36m (north)
x = 20m east
Substitute;
d² = 36²+20²
d² = 1296+400
d² = 1696
d = √1696
d = 41.18m
For the direction;
theta = tan^-1(y/x)
theta = tan^-1(36/20)
theta = tan^-1(1.8)
theta = 60.95°
Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°
Answer:
64 J
Explanation:
The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.
Now W = ∫F.dx
So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)
∆U = - ∫-Fdx
= ∫F.dx
Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U = ∫₀²F.dx
= ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx
= ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)
= ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)
= ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)
= [20x² - 2x³]₀²
= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)
= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))
= [80 - 16 - 0]
= 64 J
Answer: 1160 m
Explanation:
Speed = distance / time. Plug in 40 m/s for speed and 29 s for time in order to get the distance, 1160 m.
