Answer:

The distance moved is 9 meters

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

Explanation:

- <em><u>Distance</u></em> is the length of the actual path between the initial and the

  final position. Distance is a scalar quantity

- <u><em>Displacement</em></u> is the change in position, measuring from its starting

  position to the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity

The quarterback pedals 3.3 meters southward

That means it moves down 3.3 meters

Then runs 5.7 meters northward

That means it runs up 5.7 meters

The distance = 3.3 + 5.7 = 9 meters

<em></em>

<em>The distance moved is 9 meters</em>

It moves southward (down) for 3.3 meters and then moves northward

(up) for 5.7

It moves from zero to 3.3 down and then moves up to 5.7

The displacement = 5.7 - 3.3 = 2.4 meters northward

<em />

<em>The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters</em>

<em>The direction of the displacement is northward</em>

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 \frac{m}{s}

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}

v^{2} = r g \tan \theta

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

Put all the values in above formula we get

\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}

\tan \theta = 2.446

\theta = 67.76 °

Therefore the value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

In a two planet system, does an increase in planet velocity result in a decreased period?
olganol [36]
From the formula,
                                 v=2πr/T
V(velocity is inversely related to T),so when v increases then time period will decrease.
Option a is correct.

A scientist launches a 100 g ball from a catapult as part of an experiment. The ball travels at 500 m/s after launch. The catapu
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

V₂ = - m₁ V₁ / m₂

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, "Total momentum of an isolated system remains constant. i.e

Pi = Pf

We consider ball and catapult an isolated system.

before launching ball momentum of the system is zero.

After launching ball momentum of ball is:

Pb= 0.1 * 500 = 50 kg m/s

Now according to law of conservation of momentum:

Pf = Pi

⇒ Pb + Pc = 0

Let Pb= m₁ V₁

&    Pc = m₂ V₂

So

m₁ V₁ + m₂ V₂ = 0

⇒ V₂ = - m₁ V₁ / m₂

The negative sing shows that catapult velocity will have opposite direction to the ball velocity.
