Explanation:

Let east direction is negative and west direction is positive. The acceleration of an object is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

As the car decelerates, the final speed of the car is less as compared to the initial speed. As a result, its acceleration is negative. It means the car travels eastward and slows down. Hence, this is the required solution.

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

a

From this motion what is the distance covered

b

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

a

  D =   72 \  m

b

Magnitude

             d =  - 20 \ m

 Direction  

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is d_w_1  =  18 \  m /tex]     The  first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 =  12 \  m /tex]      The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2  =  28 \  m /tex]      The  second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 =  14 \  m /tex]   Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as       [tex]D =  d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=> D =   18 + 28 + 12 +  14

=> D =   72 \  m

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

d =  -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2

=>  d =  -18-28 + 12 + 14

=> d =  - 20 \ m

The direction is west

prohojiy [21]
Henry will lift 200 N load 20 m up a ladder in 40 s.  While the Ricardo will take 400 N load in 80 seconds. So, For Henry to take 400 N load it will take him 80 seconds in two attempts. And,also, he will have to cover 40 m of distance.

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy
WINSTONCH [101]
The rest energy of a particle is
E_0=m_0 c^2
where m_0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
E=mc^2 =  \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
E=2E_0
which means:
\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
\frac{v}{c}=  \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 }  =0.87
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.
