Find the total displacement of a mouse that travels 1.0m north and then 0.8m south.

1 answer:

8 0

In this case two vectors are colinear and they have an opposite orientation.
N + ( - S ) = N - S = 1 m - 0.8 m = 0.2 m
Answer:
The total displacement is 0.2 m north.

An 100W light bulb is on 6 hours work out the energy (kWh) used and the cost of it (1kWh = £0.1359) with working out please

Ainat [17]

1,000 W = 1 kW
100 W = 0.1 kW

(0.1 kW) x (6 h) = 0.6 kWh <=== energy

(0.6 kWh) x (£0.1359/kWh) = £0.0815 <=== cost of it

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3.626 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

1. -0.02/0 = 0 m/s

2. 0.86/0.2 = 4.3 m/s

3. 1.71/0.4 = 4.275 m/s

4. 2.54/0.6 = 4.23 m/s

5. 3.32/0.8 = 4.15 m/s

6. 4.08/1.0 = 4.08 m/s

7. 4.79/1.2 = 3.99 m/s

8. 5.48/1.4 = 3.91 m/s

9. 6.15/1.6 = 3.84 m/s

10. 6.76/1.8 = 3.76 m/s

11. 7.37/2.0 = 3.66 m/s

12. 7.92/2.2 = 3.6 m/s

13. 8.45/2.4 = 3.52 m/s

14. 8.96/2.6 = 3.45 m/s

the mean of these numbers is 3.626

his average velocity ks 3.626 m/s

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂

v₂ = .3636 m /s

1 )

Kinetic energy of the combination

= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²

= 7.3 x 10⁻² J

2 )

Initial kinetic energy of the system

= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²

= 0.8 J

Final kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²

Loss of energy = .8 - .073

= .727 J

This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .

3 )

increase in entropy = dQ / T

Here dQ = .727 J

T = 300 ( Constant )

dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K

The figure shows the arrangement of master cylinder and slave cylinder of a part of braking system. The master cylinder piston,

Neko [114]

Answer:

a) 35 kPa

d) 140 N

c) 1) Increasing the brake fluid pressure

2) Increasing the slave piston surface area.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

a) Force applied to the master cylinder piston = 28 N

Cross sectional area of the master cylinder piston = 8 cm² = 8 × 10⁻⁴ m²

The pressure P on the brake fluid is given by the formula for pressure as follows;

$P= \dfrac{Applied \ force}{Area \over \ which \ force \ is \ applied} = \dfrac{28 \, N}{8 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2} = 35,000 \, N/m^2 = 35,000 \, Pa$

The pressure on the brake fluid, P, produced by the master cylinder piston = 35,000 Pa = 35 kPa

b) Given that the area of the slave piston = 40 cm² = 0.004 m², we have from the formula for pressure, P;

$P= \dfrac{Applied \ force}{Area \over \ which \ force \ is \ applied} = \dfrac{Applied \ force}{4 \times 10^{-3} \, m^2} = 35,000 \, N/m^2$

Therefore;

Applied force on the slave piston = 4 × 10⁻³ m² × 35,000 N/m² = 140 N

c) The force, F produced by the slave cylinder piston is given by the relation;

F = Pressure × Area

Therefore, the two ways of increasing the force produced by the slave cylinder piston is as follows;

1) Increasing the pressure in the brake fluid by increasing the force exerted by the master cylinder piston

2) Increasing the surface area of the slave piston.
