15. A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the
1 answer:
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

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:
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
Force applied on the car due to engine is given as
towards right
Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag
towards left
now the net force on the car will be given as
now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.
So we can say
So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.
