Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

a ball is thrown downward with an initial speed of 7 m/s. the ball's velocity after 3 seconds is ____ m/s (g= -9.8m/s^{2}

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The speed downwards is 7 + (3*9.8)
7+ 29.4 = 36.4 m/s

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 5.0 rev/s in 8.0 s. At thi

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The total number of revolution is 50 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular speed = 5.0 rev/s

Time = 8.0 s

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using equation of angular motion

$\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}=\alpha t$

Put the value into the formula

$5.0-0=\alpha\times8.0$

$\alpha=\dfrac{5.0}{8.0}$

$\alpha=0.625\ rev/s^2$

We need to calculate the angular displacement

Using equation of angular motion

$\theta=\omega_{i}t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.625\times(8.0)^2$

$\theta=20\ rev$

Now, The washer coming to rest from top spin

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using equation of angular motion

$\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}=\alpha t$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{0-5}{12}$

$\alpha=−0.4167\ rev/s^2$

We need to calculate the angular displacement

Using formula of displacement

$\theta'=\omega_{i}t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta'=5\times12+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-0.4167)\times12^2$

$\theta'=30\ rev$

We need to calculate the total number of revolution

$\theta''=\theta+\theta'$

$\theta''=20+30$

$\theta''=50\ rev$

Hence, The total number of revolution is 50 rev.

Why does a glass rod become positively charged when it is rubbed with a silk cloth?

slavikrds [6]

The core has positive charge<span>, the electrons have negative </span>charge. When you are rubbing<span> the </span>glass rod<span> with the </span>silk cloth<span>, electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the </span>glass<span> and transferred to the </span>silk cloth<span>. This leaves the </span>glass rod<span> with more </span>positive<span> than negative </span>charge<span>, so you get a net </span>positive charge<span>.</span>
