Measure if how far an object has moved.

1 answer:

5 0

You can't really measure how far an object has moved. If you weren't
watching it the whole time, you can only measure how far it IS now from
where it started, but you don't know what route it traveled to get there.

The distance between where it started and where it ended up is called
the object's "displacement". That's the length of the straight line between
those two points. And it's also the shortest possible distance the object
could have moved in order to get to where it is now.

Funny thing: When you walk all the way around a yard, a track, or a building,
or drive a car one lap around the track, your displacement is zero, because
you end up in the same place you started from, and the distance is zero.
If somebody saw you before and after, but didn't see you walk or drive,
they wouldn't know that you had moved at all.

please solve this for me ,A garden roller is pulled with a force of 200N acting at an angle of 50 degree with the ground level.f

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N

Explanation:

A force of 200 N acting at an angle of 50° with the ground level

This force is pulled a garden roller

We need to find the force pulling the roller along the ground

The force that pulling the roller along the ground is the horizontal

component of the force acting

→ The force acting is 200 N at direction 50° with ground (horizontal)

→ The horizontal component = F cosФ

→ F = 200 N , Ф = 50

→ The horizontal component = 200 cos(50) = 128.55 N

128.55 N is the horizontal component of the force that pulling the

roller along the ground

The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i$ (1)

Where:

$W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}$

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ , so if the initial velocity $v_i$ is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy $K_i$ is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}$

$\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f$

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s
