You exert a force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can’t budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did y

ou perform?

Answer: Work W = 0

Explanation: Work W = F·s. Because rock does not move, s = 0 and

work done is zero.

A baseball player throws a baseball with a velocity of 13 m/s north. It is caught by a second player seven seconds later. How fa

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

A. 91 meters north

Explanation:

Take +y to be north.

Given:

v₀ = 13 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13 m/s) (7 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (7 s)²

Δy = 91 m

The displacement is 91 m north.

A car goes from rest to a velocity of 108 km/h north in 10s what is the car's acceleration in m/s2

fomenos

initial velocity of the car given as

$v_i = 0$

final velocity is given as

$v_f = 108 km/h$

as we know that

$1 km/h = 0.277 m/s$

now we can convert final speed into m/s

$v_f = 108 * 0.277 = 30 m/s$

now acceleration is rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{30 - 0}{10}$

$a = 3 m/s^2$

so the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s^2

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

On the way home from school, Taylor's car runs out of gas. He has to walk 25m north and 10m west in order to reach the nearest g

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Displacement and Distance</u>

These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:

d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m

To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.

The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):

$D=\sqrt{(25-0)^2+(-10-0)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{625+100}=\sqrt{725}$

D = 26.93 m

The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m
