Answer:

1.) Total distance = 70 m

2.) Total displacement = +30m

Explanation:

Distance is a scaler quantity. That is, we will be concerned about its magnitude only and not direction.

Total distance = 10 + 20 + 40 = 70 m

While displacement is a vector quantity. We will consider both the magnitude and its direction.

Forward direction will be positive while backward direction will be negative

Total displacement = +10 - 20 + 40

Total displacement = +30 m

How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?
grin007 [14]

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

g = \frac{F}{m}

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}  \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }

g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

A positive force on the balance indicates a downward force on the silver sphere while a negative force on the balance indicates
anastassius [24]

The two spheres have opposite charges.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What are types charge?</h3>
  • A charge can be negatively charged or positively charged.
  • When two charges have opposite signs, that is positive and negative signs, the two charges will attract each other.
  • When the two charges have the same sign, it causes repulsion.

When a positive charge points downwards ↓ and the negative charge points upwards ↑, this causes attraction and shows that the two charges are different.

Thus, we can conclude that the two spheres have opposite charges.

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

A concave mirror has a focal length of 30.0 CM. an object is placed 15.0 CM from the mirror. what is the radius of curvature of
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Focal length of a concave mirror as  30.0 cm
  • Object distance is 15.0 cm

We are required to determine the radius of curvature.

We need to know that the radius of a curvature is the radius of a circle from which the curved mirror is part.

We also need to know that the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of a curved mirror.

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × 30 cm

                                 = 60 cm
