Kayla starts at -3, walks 5 blocks right and 3 blocks left. What is her displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Elanso [62]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The displacement is 1 block.

Explanation:

Let's define:

The right is the positive side.

The left is the negative side.

Then if you start at position A, and you walk N blocks to the right, the new position is:

A + N

And if you start at position A, and you walk M blocks to the left, the new position is:

A - M.

In this case, we know that Kayla starts at -3 and she walks 5 blocks to the right.

Then her new position is:

-3 + 5 = 2

Now she walks 3 blocks to the left, then her new position is:

2 - 3 = -1

The displacement will be equal to the difference between the final position (-1) and the initial position (-2)

Then the displacement is:

D = -1 - (-2) = -1 +2 = 1

The displacement is 1 block.

HELP DUE TONIGHT<br><br> What is friction? How does friction affect the motion of an object?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Friction always acts in the direction opposing motion. This means if friction is present, it counteracts and cancels some of the force causing the motion (if the object is being accelerated).

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

A 1.50 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level, reaches a maximum height of 7.00 m, then returns to the ground. Calc
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

17.565 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity

I = mv..................... Equation 1

But we can calculate the value of v  using the equation of motion under gravity.

v² =  u²+2gs............. Equation 2

Where u = initial velocity, s = maximum heigth, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: u = 0 m/s (at the maximum heigth), s = 7.0 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

v² = 0²+ 2×7×9.8

v² = 137.2

v = √137.2

v = 11.71 m/s.

Also given: m = 1.50 kg

substitute these values into equation 1

Therefore,

I = 1.5×11.71

I = 17.565 kgm/s

Does wavelength affect the energy of a wave?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Not quite

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength

What determines the strength of a wave?

Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

So,

As Wavelength increases, The energy of the wave spreads and it decreases
