Velocity
It is not showing acceleration, or changes in speed
It is showing direction, but not only that
It is showing speed, but not only that

It is showing speed and direction, which is Velocity

Course hero N4M.6 A board has one end wedged under a rock having a mass of 380 kg and is supported by another rock that touches

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=380kg$

Height of supporting Rock $X=85cm$

Length of Board $L_r=4.5m$

Mass of board $M_b=22kg$

Mass of adult $M_a=62$

Generally the moment of balance about wedge part about is mathematically given by

$N -Q + R = Mg + mg$

$0.85*N - Mg*2.25 - mg*(2.25 + x) = 0$

$0.85*N = + Mg*2.25 + mg*(2.25 + x)$

where

$N+R=4547$

therefore

$N = 570.70588 + 1608.3529 + 714.823 x$

if N=0 at fallen person

$x=3.04m$

Therefore it is save to carry a 62kg adult

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

Serjik [45]

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
$W=-\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so $x_i=0$ . Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until $x_f$ is
$W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced

Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

$p=mv$ (2)

From eq.(1) we get

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$

and substituting into (2),

$p=\sqrt{2mK}$

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

$K' = 8K$

- The mass is reduced by half:

$m'=\frac{m}{2}$

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

$p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p$

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.
