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

All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. P = nRTV

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except a. P = nRTV b. PV/T = nR c. P/n = RT/v d. R = PV/nT"

Ideal gas equation is an equation that describes the nature of an ideal gas. The molecule of an ideal gas moves at a particular velocity depending on the temperature. This gases collides with one another elastically. The collision that an ideal gas experience is a perfectly elastic collision.

The ideal gas equation is expressed as shown:

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature.

Based on the formula given for an ideal gas, it can be inferred that the equation. P = nRTV is not a statement of an ideal gas equation.

The remaining option will results to an ideal gas equation if they are cross multipled.

A sewing machine uses 1.6kWh of electricity in one day. If electricity costs 9p per unit, what is the total cost in pence of usi
atroni [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 1.6\ units = 14.4p}

Explanation:

Since,

<h3><u>1 kWh = 1 unit</u></h3>

So,

1.6 kWh = 1.6 units

If,

<h3>1 unit = 9p</h3>

1.6 units = 9p × 1.6

1.6 units = 14.4p

15. A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Distance = 30m

Displacement = 6m W

Explanation:

Given the following:

Movement 1 = 18m W

Movement 2 = 12m E

Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.

Therefore, total distance traveled equals :

Movement 1 + movement 2

18m + 12m = 30m

B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.

Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:

18m W - 12m E = 6m E

1. How do you determine which between the two object has a greater amount of potential energy?
jeka94

Answer:

All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.

1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.

2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).

3. Depends on what scenario your class had.
