Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

1 answer:

5 0

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

If 14:15=42:x find the value of x

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45

7. You start to walk toward the east towards home at a constant speed of 4 km/hr. At the same time, Someone else leaves your hom

amm1812

A) position time graph for both is shown

here one of the graph is of lesser slope which means it is moving with less speed while other have larger slope which shows larger speed

At one point they intersects which is the point where they both will meet

B) Let the two will meet after time "t"

now we can say that

if they both will meet after time "t"

then the total distance moved by you and other person will be same as the distance between you and home

so it is given as

$v_1t + v_2t = d$

$4*t + 28*t = 3.2 km$

$t = \frac{3.2}{32} = 0.1 hr$

so they will meet after t = 6 min

so from position time graph we can see that two will meet after t = 6 min where at this position two graphs will intersect

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if

klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

$F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{E}=60 N$ is the electrostatic force

$K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are the electric charges

$d=3 m$ is the separation distance between the charges

Then:

$60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ :

$q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2}$ (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to $d_{1}=1 m$ , (1) is rewritten as:

$F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}}$ (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

$F_{E}= 539.4 N$ (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal

borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be 80cm.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is 20 cm.

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)
