A free-body diagram shows the vectors for all the force acting on the body the resultant vector found by summing all the individual vectors represents the net force.

Using Diagrams to Depict ForcesWhen learning about force diagrams, you saw that scientists draw a diagram using arrows to show the type and size of the force. The object is shown as a small box or dot from which the arrows originate. These diagrams are also called free-body diagrams . A "free body" is one object drawn all by itself, even though that object is likely to be in contact with other objects. This way you can focus all your attention on what is happening to that one object.

Riders on a ferris wheel move in a circle with a speed of 4.0 m/s. As they go around, they

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: D = 16m

Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m

Julianne went to a restaurant to have a taste of her favorite fried chicken and spaghetti. She drove 2 km, east and then 8.5 km,

GREYUIT [131]

Julianne’s displacement from her origin is equal to 10.015 kilometers.

Given the following data:

Distance A = 2 km, East.

Distance B = 8.5 km, Northeast.

To calculate Julianne’s displacement from her origin:

<h3>How to calculate displacement.</h3>

We would denote the two (2) unit vectors along the East and Northeast directions by i and j respectively.

Note: Northeast is at angle of 45° with the East.

In terms of vectors, the distances becomes:

Distance A = 2i

$Distance\;B=8.5 [(cos 45i + sin 45j)]\\\\Distance\;B=(\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } i \;+\;\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } j)$

For the resultant displacement:

$D^2 = [(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2\\\\D =\sqrt{[(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2} \\\\D=2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } + \frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} }$

D = 10.015 kilometers.

Marie is puzzled by her findings she has done several meticulous calculations and has gotten the numbers .37 rad, .89 rad and 1.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I think the answer is a

Explanation:

for it to be accurate has be to exactly 0.9 rad

it is not precise because the answer she is getting is different everytime and not even close. For instance,

It would have been precise if she had gotten 0.37 rad in every attempt. or 0.89 every attempt...

What is newton's 3rd law of physics

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
