assume the east-west direction along the x-axis such that east lies in positive x-direction and west lie in negative Y-direction.

In unit-vector notation , individual displacement can be represented as

A = displacement of car in east direction = 60 i

B = displacement of car in west direction = - 90 i

D = total displacement of the car

Total displacement of the car is given as

D = A + B

inserting the values

D = 60 i + (- 90 i)

D = - 30 i

negative sign indicates the direction in west

hence net displacement is 30 km in west direction

you cover 10 meters in a time of 1 second .Is your speed the same if you cover 20 meters in 2 seconds?
IrinaVladis [17]

Definition:
                 Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Speed in the first example = (10 meters) / (1 second) = 10 m/s .

Speed in the second example = (20 meters) / (2 seconds) = 10 m/s.

Apparently, it is.  This little exercise demonstrates it.

A wave with a period of 1⁄3 second has a frequency of A. 67 Hz. B. 33 Hz. C. 300 Hz. D. 3 Hz.
Triss [41]
A wave with a period of 1⁄3 second has a frequency of D. 3 Hz. To calculate this we will use the formula that represents the correlation between a frequency (f) and a time period (T): T = 1/f. Or: f = 1/T. The unit for the time period is second "s" while the unit for frequency is Hertz "Hz" (=1/s). We know that T = 1/3 s. That means that f = 1/(1/3s) = 3 1/s = 3 Hz.

Choose the 200 kg refrigerator. Set the applied force to 400 N (to the right). Be sure friction is turned off.What is the net fo
White raven [17]
So, there should be two forces acting on the refrigerator: the applied force and the friction force.

The question mentioned that the friction force was set to zero, so the only effective force now would be the applied force.

We have an applied force of 400 N to the right, this means that:
<span>The magnitude of the net force is 400, directed to the right.</span>

A book falls off a shelf that is 10.0 m tall. What is the velocity at which the book hits the ground?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the book is a free fall motion, so it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. Therefore we can find the final velocity by using the equation:

v^2 = u^2 + 2gd

where

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d = 10.0 m is the distance covered by the book

Substituting data, we find

v=\sqrt{0^2 + 2(9.8 m/s^2)(10.0 m)}=14 m/s
