Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

The distance between an object and a certain reference point is called displacement. This is not to be confused with distance, which represents the total distance the object has travelled to get a certain point, regardless of how long it is. Displacement always represents the shortest distance (a straight line) between the initial and final points.

Answer:

Displacement is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a reference point. Suppose a runner jogs to the 50-m mark and then turns around and runs back to the 20-m mark.

A truck has a velocity of 25 m/s and a momentum of 25.000 kg*m/s. What is its<br> mass?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

1000kg

Explanation:

We can use the equation "p=mv"

  • p is the momentum in kg m/s
  • m is the mass measured in kg
  • v is the velocity measured in m/s

If we rearrange the equation to find mass (m), then the equation becomes:

m=p/v

We can substitute in the values of p and v as they are already given in the question.

  • p=25,000 kg m/s
  • v= 25 m/s

So, now we just substitute in the values to get our answer.

m=p/v

m=25,000/25

m=1000kg

Superman throws a boulder of weight 3800 n at an adversary on the surface of the earth, where the magnitude of the acceleration
evablogger [386]
The weight of the boulder is 3800 N, therefore its mass i s
3800/9.8 = 387.755 kg

If the horizontal acceleration is 12.8 m/s², then the horizontal force applied is
F = (387.755 kg)*(12.8 m/s²) = 4.963 x 10³ n = 4.963 kN

Answer: 4.963 kN

Six light bulbs are connected in series with a 9.0­ volt battery. What is the voltage across each bulb?
Anestetic [448]
Voltage adds in a series and the amount of voltage dropped due to each resistor in a circuit (the light bulbs are resistors) depends on the resistance of each.

Assuming equal resistance of each light bulb, the voltage dropped on each is equal and should add up to 9V (Kirchoff's Rules).

So 9V/6 = 1.5V per light bulb.
