Answer: A. vector

Explanation:

Movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. The body that experiences this change of position is called mobile.

In this sense, the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position of this mobile, which differentiates it from the trajectory, which is the path followed by the body in its movement and a scalar magnitude.

Hence, the displacement is a vector.

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = $mv$ = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

$|J|=|p_f-p_i|$

Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:

$p_i=mv$

The final momentum of the car is given as:

$p_f=m(0)=0$

Therefore, the impulse is given as:

$|J|=|p_f-p_i|=|0-mv|=|-mv|=mv$

Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.

1. An EM wave representing 650 nm laser light is traveling in the +zˆ direction. At one point in space and time, the electric fi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Direction of the magnetic field will be in positive x direction.

The direction of the vector E X B gives the direction of motion of wave.

b ) Magnitude of magnetic field is given by the relation

E₀ / B₀ = c , c is velocity of light

B₀ = E₀ / c

= 20 / (3 x 10⁸)

= 6.67 x 10⁻⁸ T

c ) Average power flowing per unit area by this wave is called Poynting vector

c ε₀E₀² , ε₀ = 8.85X10⁻¹²

= 3 X 10⁸ X 8.85 X 10⁻¹² X 20²

= 1.062 W m⁻²

You place a solid cylinder of mass M on a ramp that is inclined at an angle β to the horizontal. The coefficient of static frict

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the frictional force required be f .

frictional force is responsible in creating rotational motion in the cylinder.

torque created by frictional force = f R

if angular acceleration be α

α = f R / I , I is moment of inertia of cylinder .

α = a / R , a is linear acceleration.

f R / I = a / R

a = f R² / I

linear acceleration a of cylinder down the slope

ma = mgsinθ - f , ( f force is acting upwards and mgsinθ is acting downwards )

mf R² / I = mgsinθ -f

f ( m R² / I + 1) = mgsinθ

f = mgsinθ / ( m R² / I + 1)

= mgsinθ / ( m R² / mk² + 1) , k is radius of gyration of cylinder.

= mgsinθ / ( R² / k² + 1)

Putting the given values

f = Mgsinβ /( R² / k² + 1)

for cylinder , R² / k² = 2

f = Mgsinβ /3
