Answer:

11.6km

4.4km in the negative direction

Explanation:

Distance is the total length of path covered and traveled by a body.

So, for this car on a straight line;

  Total distance  = 8km + 3.6km  = 11.6km

Displacement is the distance traveled along a path and the direction it takes.

It is a vector quantity with magnitude and directional attributes.

For this journey;

 Displacement  = 8km  - 3.6km  = 4.4km in the negative direction.

'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

Hence 'The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror'.This is the correct statement that corrects an error on the site

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

A body of mass 2 kg is moving in the positive X-Direction with a speed of 4 m/s collides head on with an another body of mass 3
Inga [223]
m_1=2 \\ m_2=3 \\ v_1=4 \\ v_2=1 \\ v\text{ =speed after collision (to be determined)}.

The momentul of the system preserves:

m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ v=\dfrac{m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}.

Ok, we found the speed after the collision.
Now, because the impact is plastic, it produces heat, sound energy and who knows what other forms of energy. We denote all this wasted energy with E.

Now, we write the energy conservation law:

\dfrac{m_1v_1^2}{2}+\dfrac{m_2v^2_2}{2}=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{2}+E

From the above equation, you find E,  and then conclude that the sound energy can certainly not be greater than this.
