Need help asap plz (so hard to ask a question)

7. When will an object's displacement and distance traveled be different?

mariarad [96]

If an object changes direction while travelling will an object's displacement and distance travelled be different.

Some people believe that distance and displacement are simply different names for the same quantity. However, distance and displacement are not the same thing. If an object changes direction while travelling, the total distance travelled is greater than the displacement between those two points.

The magnitude of the displacement is always less than or equal to the distance because it is measured along the shortest path between two points.

When the direction of displacement does not change, the magnitude of the displacement and distance are the same. When a body travels in a straight line, for example, its displacement and distance are the same.

A 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f

Setler [38]

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

$W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J$

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

$E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J$

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

$E_e = W_f + E_p$

$kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J$

$k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m$

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud

NARA [144]

<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work $W$ performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box $F=45N$ by the distance traveled $d=12m$ .
