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

. A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. (a) What is the block’s accelerat

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a) a = 4.9 m / s², N = 16.97 N and b) F = 9.8 N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we write a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, see attached, in this system the only force we have to break down is weight, let's use trigonometry

sin 30 = Wx / W

cos 30 = Wy / W

Wx = W sin30

Wy = W cos 30

Let's write the equations on each axis

X axis

Wx = ma

Y Axis

N- Wy = 0

N = Wy = mg cos 30

N = 2.0 9.8 cos 30

N = 16.97 N

We calculate the acceleration

a = Wx / m

a = mg sin 30 / m

a = g sin 30

a =9.8 sin 30

a = 4.9 m / s²

b) For the block to move with constant speed, the acceleration must be zero, so the force applied must be equal to the weight component

F -Wx = 0

F = Wx

F = m g sin 30

F = 2.0 9.8 sin 30

F = 9.8 N

What is the resistance force when you walk up an inclined plane?<br> Please help quick!

Dominik [7]

Friction
Friction also affects the movement of an object on a slope. Friction is a force that offers resistance to movement when one object is in contact with another. Imagine now that you were on the downside of the object and applying force to keep the object in the same place (not moving)

What is the displacement of the car between t=1s and t=4s

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Option C. 30 m

Explanation:

From the graph given in the question above,

At t = 1 s,

The displacement of the car is 10 m

At t = 4 s

The displacement of the car is 40 m

Thus, we can simply calculate the displacement of the car between t = 1 and t = 4 by calculating the difference in the displacement at the various time. This is illustrated below:

Displacement at t = 1 s (d1) = 10 m

Displacement at t= 4 s (d2) = 40

Displacement between t = 1 and t = 4 (ΔD) =?

ΔD = d2 – d1

ΔD = 40 – 10

ΔD = 30 m.

Therefore, the displacement of the car between t = 1 and t = 4 is 30 m.
