Answer:

26 m southwards.

Explanation:

From a North, East, South, West coordinate plane, moving northwards implies positive distance. While moving southwards implies negative distance.

Thus;

It moves 16 meters northward; d = 16 m

It now moves 22 meters southward; d = -22 m

It moves 12 meters northward; d = 12 m

It moves 32 meters southward; d = -32 m

Thus, total magnitude = 16 - 22 + 12 - 32 = -26 m

Thus, the object travels 26 m southwards.

For the answer to this question,
Thalia must consider the weight of the object and the mass of the sculpture. Weight and mass are different things. She should also consider the time on how long it will take to move it and where she'll move it.

A force gives a 2.0 kg mass an acceleration of 5.0 m/s2 on a level surface. What is the force applied to the mass?

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

$v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)$

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, $v$ , is $\frac 12 m v^2$

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is $mgh$ [where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)$

and the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii)$ .

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, $\frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2$

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.

What is power?

hammer [34]

We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.

Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire
