You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks

west. Let the x axis point east and have its origin at your starting point. If all blocks are equal in size, what is the x component of your displacement, in blocks?

Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

If a display has a dynamic range of 20 dB and the smallest voltage it can handle is 200 mV, then the largest voltage it can hand
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The largest voltage is 0.02 V.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Range = 20 dB

Smallest voltage = 200 mV

We need to calculate the largest voltage

Using formula of voltage gain

G_{dB}=10 log_{10}(\dfrac{V_{out}^2}{V_{in}^{2}})

20 =10 log_{10}(\dfrac{V_{out}^2}{V_{in}^{2}})

2=log_{10}(\dfrac{V_{out}^2}{V_{in}^{2}})

10^2=\dfrac{V_{out}^2}{V_{in}^{2}}

\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}^}=10

V_{in}=\dfrac{V_{out}}{10}

V_{in}=\dfrac{200}{10}

V_{in}=20\ mV

V_{in}=0.02\ V

Hence, The largest voltage is 0.02 V.

The elevator accelerates upward (in the positive direction) from rest at a rate of 1.95 m/s2 for 2.15 s. Calculate the tension i
sammy [17]

The mass is missing. The mass of the elevator is 1650 kg.

Answer:

The tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the elevator (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration in the upward direction (a) = 1.95 m/s²

Time taken by the elevator (t) = 2.15 s

Mass of the elevator and persons (m) = 1650 kg

Let the tension in the cable wire be 'T' Newtons.

Now, there are 2 forces acting in the vertical direction. One is tension in the upward direction and the other the weight of the elevator in the downward direction.

As the elevator is accelerating upward, the net force acts in the upward direction.

So, net force on the elevator is given as:

F_{net}=T-mg

Now, from Newton's second law, net force equals mass times acceleration.

F_{net}=ma\\\\T-mg=ma\\\\T=m(g+a)

Plug in the given values and solve for 'T'. This gives,

T=1650\ kg(9.8+1.95)\ m/s^2\\\\T=1650\times11.75\ N\\\\T=19387.5\ N

Therefore, the tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Si está probando u motor para un nuevo modelo de coche ; este es capaz de pasar de 0 a 100 km/h en 7,5 segundos . Si el coche ti
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

La fuerza que realiza el motor es 2035 N.

Explanation:

Podemos encontrar la fuerza del motor usando la siguiente ecuación:

F = ma   (1)

En donde:

m: es la masa del coche = 550 kg

a: es la aceleración

Se puede calcular la aceleración mediante la siguiente ecuación cinemática:

v_{f} = v_{0} + at   (2)

En donde:

v_{f}: es la velocidad final del coche = 100 km/h

v_{0}: es la velocidad inicial del coche = 0

t: es el tiempo = 7,5 s

Resolviendo la ecuación (2) para "a" tenemos:

a = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{t} = \frac{100\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000 m}{1 km}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s} - 0}{7,5 s} = 3,70 m/s^{2}

Entonces, la fuerza es:

F = ma = 550 kg*3,70 m/s^{2} = 2035 N

Por lo tanto, la fuerza que realiza el motor es 2035 N.

When a ball rolls along the carpet, it slows down faster than when it is rolled on the floor. What transfer of energy explains t
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

D.) A carpet transfers more energy to heat than the floor.



The frictional force between carpet and ball is more due to the rough surface of the carpet as compared to the friction between floor and ball, so the ball on the carpet would come to rest first before a ball on the floor.

Have a great rest of your day
