A car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels r_1=20\ km South

then turns and travels r_2=30\ km east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, r_1=-20\hat{j}

r_2=30\hat{i}

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement=r=r_1+r_2

Displacement=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}

Displacement=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}

Magnitude =\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}

Magnitude=36.05\ km

If you separate vector B into its components. How many components will it have? Those components will be called?
Inessa [10]

The vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

<h3>What is a component vector?</h3>

A component vector is a unit vector that represents a given vector in a particular direction.

A vector can be represented in x - direction and y - direction.

  • x - component of the vector = Bcosθ
  • y - component of the vector = Bsinθ

Thus, the vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

A child (approximately 4 years old) takes her metal “slinky Toy” (a flexible coiled metal spring) and does various tests to dete
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

248

Explanation:

L = Inductance of the slinky = 130 μH = 130 x 10⁻⁶ H

l = length of the slinky = 3 m

N = number of turns in the slinky

r = radius of slinky = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Area of slinky is given as

A = πr²

A = (3.14) (0.04)²

A = 0.005024 m²

Inductance is given as

L = \frac{\mu _{o}N^{2}A}{l}

130\times 10^{-6} = \frac{(12.56\times 10^{-7})N^{2}(0.005024)}{3}

N = 248
