Answer:

Distance = 30m

Displacement = 6m W

Explanation:

Given the following:

Movement 1 = 18m W

Movement 2 = 12m E

Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.

Therefore, total distance traveled equals :

Movement 1 + movement 2

18m + 12m = 30m

B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.

Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:

18m W - 12m E = 6m E

10 N pushes a 10 kg crate to the right. Determine the acceleration of the crate.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The rate of acceleration of the crate would be 1 m/s^2 because the equation for force is F=ma and when you plug in your numbers you get 10=10a so a=1

A rocket on Earth experiences an upward applied force from its thrusters. As a result of this force, the rocket accelerates upwa
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F=m(11.8m/s²)

For example, if m=10,000kg, F=118,000N.

Explanation:

There are only two vertical forces acting on the rocket: the force applied from its thrusters F, and its weight mg. So, we can write the equation of motion of the rocket as:

F-mg=ma

Solving for the force F, we obtain that:

F=ma+mg=m(a+g)

Since we know the values for a (2m/s²) and g (9.8m/s²), we have that:

F= m(2m/s^{2}+9.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=m(11.8m/s^{2})

From this relationship, we can calculate some possible values for F and m. For example, if m=10,000kg, we can obtain F:

F=(10,000kg)(11.8m/s^{2})\\\\F=118,000N

In this case, the force from the rocket's thrusters is equal to 118,000N.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
