What is my displacement if i walked 200 meters west then turned around and walked 150 meters east

1 answer:

6 0

You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances.
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball

Ymorist [56]

Answer:440.03 N

Explanation:

Given

horizontal component of acceleration $(a_x)=800 m/s^2$

vertical component of acceleration $(a_y)=880 m/s^2$

mass of ball =0.37 kg

Force in horizontal direction $=m\times a_x=0.37\times 800=296 N$

Force in vertical direction $=m\times a_y=0.37\times 880=325.6 N$

Therefore net force is

$F=F_x+F_y$

$|F|=\sqrt{296^2+325.6^2}$

|F|=440.03 N

if the velocity of a car is halved the fc required to keeo it in a path of constant radius is multiplied/divided by?

damaskus [11]

I believe this is it
The centripetal force is given by
F = mv^2 / r
When v' = v/2,
F' = mv'^2/r = m(v/2)^2/r = mv^2/4r = F/4.
So the centripetal force is divided by 4.
