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

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1176 Nm or J

Explanation:

W = F*d

F = 60kg * 9.8 kgm/s^2 = 588 N

W = 588 N * 2m = 1176 N*m

Suppose that two point charges, each with a charge of +1.00 C, are separated by a distance of 1.0 m. If the distance between the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Given:

The magnitude of each charge is q1 = q2 = 1 C

The distance between them is r = 1 m

To find the force when distance is doubled.

Explanation:

The new distance is

\begin{gathered} r^{\prime}=\text{ 2r} \\ =2\times1 \\ =2\text{ }m \end{gathered}

The force can be calculated by the formula

F=k\frac{q1q2}{(r^{\prime})^2}

Here, k is the constant whose value is

k=9\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2

On substituting the values, the force will be

\begin{gathered} F=9\times10^9\times\frac{1\times1}{(2)^2} \\ =2.25\times10^9\text{ N} \end{gathered}

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

someone help pls. Two students, Mia and Peter, leave school to meet at the local coffee shop. Peter decides to jog to the coffee
cluponka [151]

Answer:

1) The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia is 1.24 km

2) Mia's average speed is 6.00 km/hour

Peter's average speed is 8.48 km/hour

4) Mia's average velocity = Peter's average velocity = 6.00 km/hour

Explanation:

The given information from the diagram are;

The distance Peter jogs from school to the flower shop = 2.00 km

The distance Peter jogs from the Flower shop to the Coffee shop = 2.24 km.

The distance Mia walks from school directly to the Coffee shop = 3.00 km

The time it takes both Peter and Mia to arrive at the coffee shop = 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

1) The total distance Peter travels from school to the Coffee shop = 2.00 km + 2.24 km = 4.24 km

The distance Mia travels from school to the Coffee shop = 3.00 km

The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia = 4.24 km - 3.00 km = 1.24 km

The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia = 1.24 km

2) Average \ speed = \dfrac{Total \ distance \ traveled}{Total \ time \ taken \  in \ the \ journey}

Therefore, \ Mia's \ average \ speed = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Mia's average speed = 6.00 km/hour

Peter's \ average \ speed = \dfrac{4.24 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 8.48 \ km/hour

Peter's average speed = 8.48 km/hour

4) Average \ velocicty = \dfrac{Displacement }{Time  \ taken}

The displacement from the School to the Coffee shop is 3.00 km for both Mia and Peter

The time it takes both Peter and Mia to arrive at the Coffee shop from the school is 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Therefore, \ Mia's \ average \ velocity = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Mia's average velocity = 6.00 km/hour

Peter's \ average \ velocity = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Therefore, Peter's average velocity is also = 6.00 km/hour
