A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the

moving van. (2) How far is the van from its starting point? (Hint: it is the magnitude of the displacement vector).

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point

Answer:

The intensity of the electric field is

|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

Explanation:

The electric field equation is given by:

|E|=k\frac{q}{d^{2}}

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant
  • q is the charge at 0.4100 m from the balloon
  • d is the distance from the charge to the balloon

As we need to find the electric field at the location of the balloon, we just need the charge equal to 1.99*10⁻⁷ C.

Then, let's use the equation written above.

|E|=(9*10^{9})\frac{1.99*10^{-7}}{0.41^{2}}

|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

I hope it helps you!

A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?
Snezhnost [94]

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 6.7kg

Velocity  = 8m/s

Unknown parameter:

Kinetic energy  = ?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;

Kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.

Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;

             Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

where m is the mass of the body

           v is the velocity of the body

Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;

            Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} x 6.7 x 8²   = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is  214.4‬J

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.
ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

Distinguish between friction force and motion?
Ksju [112]

Friction force is when you rub 2 things together and they get warm. Motion, on the other hand, is if your walking along the sidewalk - you hardly get warmer -------


Unless it's a colder day outside and you're walking SO you decide to rub your hands together to get warm, but if you were just walking , its motion and only motion - no friction :):)
