How do you calculate an object's displacement?

Physics

Answer:

Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.

Answer:

We can use equations of motion

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at {}^{2}

v {}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2as \:

Analyze why a body undergoing uniform motion eventually comes to rest even in the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

It happens due to force of friction

Explanation:

If a body is performing a uniform motion and no external unbalanced force appears to apply on it, then  the body will come to rest after certain time. The reason behind this is the force of friction that is applied in opposite direction of the motion. So, when there is no apparent unbalanced force it means that the only force acting on the body is the force of friction. This force of friction tends to stop the motion after some period of time, because it is acting in the direction opposite to that of motion.

Hence, the reason behind a body undergoing uniform motion eventually stops is <u>Force of Friction.</u>

How to find the coefficient of kinetic friction?
ycow [4]
It depends on the type of question, mechanical condition and given values, 
You can use the formula, 

Coefficient of kinetic friction  =  Force of Kinetic friction  /  Normal force (perpendicular to contacting surfaces)

Hope this helps!

In designing subway trains and stations, engineers want to optimize the time and energy use between stations. A train can comfor
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the time required for acceleration a₁ and deceleration a₂ be t₁ and t₂ .

Since final velocity during acceleration and initial velocity during deceleration are same

a₁ t₁ = a₂ t₂

5t₁ = 2 t₂ ------------------------------------------ ( 1 )

Distance travelled during acceleration = 1/2 a₁t₁²

= 1/2 x 5 x t₁² = 2.5 t₁²

Distance travelled during deceleration = 1/2 a₂t₂²

= 1/2 x 2 x t₂² = t₂²

Total distance travelled = 2 miles = 2 x 1760 x 3 ft = 10560

2.5 t₁² + t₂² = 10560

2.5 ( 2t₂ / 5  )² + t₂² = 10560

.4 t₂² + t₂² = 10560

1.4 t₂² = 10560

t₂ = 86.85 s

t₁ = 2t₂ / 5 = 34.75 s

t₁ + t₂ = 121.6 = 122 s

Total time taken = 122 s .

maximum velocity = a₁t₁

= 5 x 34.75 = 173.75 = 174 m/s .

The magnet below is cut in half. what will be the result?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

This is what we call a permanent magnet. By the  way, the magnetic phenomena were first observed about 2500 years ago near the ancient city of Magnesia, what is today Manisa, located in western Turkey, when people saw fragments of magnetized iron. So what happens if you cut a magnet in half? Well, a magnet has two ends, the first one is called a north pole or N pole while the  other end is a south pole or S pole, so if you break a bar magnet, each piece  has a north and south pole, no matter the size of each new bar although the smaller the  piece, the weaker its magnetism. This is true because unlike electric charges, you always find magnetic poles  in pairs, that is, ¡they can't be isolated! The option is C. because in the great bar the north pole is to the left while the south pole is to right.
