A billiard ball travels 23 cm in the positive direction , hits the cushion and rebounds in the negative direction , and Finally

wel

Explanation :

Displacement refers to the distance between the final and the initial position. Hence the displacement of the ball will be the difference between the initial and the final displacement.

Let the initial position be 0.

Final position = 8 cm

So the difference between initial position and final position = 0 – 8 = - 8 cm.

So the billiard ball comes to rest 8.0 cm behind its orbital position.

A block is at rest on a plank whose angle can be varied. The angle is gradually increased from 0 deg. At 31.8°, the block starts

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$\mu_s = 0.62$

$\mu_k = 0.415$

The motion of the block is downwards with acceleration 1.7 m/s^2.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the acceleration using the kinematics equations. We will denote the direction along the incline as x-direction.

$x - x_0 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\3.4 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(2)^2\\a = 1.7~m/s^2$

Newton’s Second Law can be used to find the net force applied on the block in the -x-direction.

$F = ma\\F = 1.7m$

Now, let’s investigate the free-body diagram of the block.

Along the x-direction, there are two forces: The x-component of the block’s weight and the kinetic friction force. Therefore,

$F = mg\sin(\theta) - \mu_k mg\cos(\theta)\\1.7m = mg\sin(31.8) - \mu_k mg\cos(31.8)\\1.7 = (9.8)\sin(\theta) - mu_k(9.8)\cos(\theta)\\mu_k = 0.415$

As for the static friction, we will consider the angle 31.8, but just before the block starts the move.

$mg\sin(31.8) = \mu_s mg\cos(31.8)\\\mu_s = tan(31.8) = 0.62$

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?

vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

First walking 1.2 km north, displacement = 1.2 j km

Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

Magnitude = $\sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km$

Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = $tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0$ = 36.87⁰ east of north.

Which statements describe vectors?

laila [671]

Answer:

Vectors have a size and direction. Each of the existing vector quantity has a magnitude and a direction. Having direction along with the magnitude is the difference of a vector quantity from a scalar quantity. Vectors are indicates with arrows.

When calculating the power bill, power companies use _____.

Dovator [93]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. When calculating the power bill, power companies use kilowatt-hours. This unit is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 MJ. If energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of the power in kilowatts and the time.
