Physics

Yanka [14]3 years ago
4 0

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. BUT Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.  so here distance is 40 m but displacement is obviously zero meter.  so answer is 0  more information on: https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/1DKin/Lesson-1/Distance-and-Displacement

The amount of movement of the particles depends on the amount of _________ acting on them and their relationship to other atoms.
Liula [17]

Answer: The amount of movement of the particles depends on the amount of <u>force</u> acting on them and their relationship to other atoms.

Explanation:

The inter-atomic force determines the inter-atomic distance which governs the amount of movement of the particles.

For example in solids, the inter-atomic force is stronger and hence, the distance between any atoms is very very small which restricts the movement of the particles. On the other hand, in case of liquids and gases, the inter-atomic forces are not very strong and there is more distance between the atoms which allows free movement of particles.

if a man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s squared. what amount of force acted on the ball?
kkurt [141]

F = ma

We have mass = 0.2kg

and acceleration = 20 m/s^2

So..

F = (0.2)(20)

F = 4 N

Which of the following would produce the most power?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.
