two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but

their displacements are different. Explain how this could happen. Illustrate with a diagram.

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

Electrical resistance is measured in
devlian [24]
Resistance is the ratio of
 
         (voltage between two points in the circuit)
divided by
         (current between the same points).

It's expressed in units of Ohms, so the correct choice is "none of the above".

A driver travels 4.1 km west, 17.3 km north, and finally 1.2 km at an angle of 65.4 degree north of west. What is the driver’s d
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent each displacement in vector form .

i will represent east , j will represent north .

D₁ = 4.1 west = - 4.1 i

D₂ = 17.3 north = 17.3 j

D₃ = - 1.2 cos65.4 i + 1.2 sin65.4 j

= - .5 i + 1.09 j

Total displacement

= D₁ + D₂ + D₃

=  - 4.1 i + 17.3 j - .5 i + 1.09 j

D = - 4.6 i + 18.39 j

magnitude of D

= √ ( 4.6² + 18.39² )

= √ (21.16 + 338.2 )

= √359.36

= 18.95 km .

Final displacement = 18.95 km .

Give a flow chart of how the inlet and exhaust valve operate in the internal combustion engine of a tractor.
abruzzese [7]

Flow chart of a system is a diagrammatic representation of how that system performs it's functions.

<h3>The flow chart of internal combustion engine</h3>

The flow chart of internal combustion engine is the diagrammatic representation of how the engine works.

The inlet valve of the engine is the valve that allows for the entry of fuel-air mixture into the engine.

The exhaust valve of the engine is the allows for the outflow of used gases from the engine.

From the attached flow chart, Intake valves are opened to allow the flow of an air/fuel mixture into the engine's cylinders prior to compression and ignition, while exhaust valves open to permit the expulsion of exhaust gases from the combustion process after ignition has occurred.
