Answer:
Magnitude = 14 metres
Direction = eastward.
Explanation:
A cross-country skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward.
Whats the Magnitude and Direction?
The magnitude and direction will be the displacement of the cross country skier.
Let the east ward be positive and the west ward be negative.
Since the skier moves 36 meters eastward, then 44meters westward, and finally 22 meters eastward. Then, that will be:
36 - 44 + 22 = 14
Since the answer is positive, the magnitude is 14 and the direction is east ward.
Answer:
Approximately
. (Assuming that
, and that the tabletop is level.)
Explanation:
Weight of the book:
.
If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence,
.
As a side note, the
and
on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.
When the book is moving, the friction
on it will be equal to
, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
, the normal force that's acting on it.
That is:
.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that
applied force. The net force on the book shall be:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:
.
Answer:
1.785 m/s
Explanation:
The momentum can be calculated using the expression below
M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3
M1= mass of van=9000 kg
M2= mass of car= 850kg
V3= velocity of entangled car
V1= Velocity of the van= 0
V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s
Substitute the values
(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3
2500=1400 V3
V3=2500/1400
V3= 1.785 m/s
Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s
Answer:
I hope it is no too late
Explanation:
hmmm,
In a gas, for example, the molecules are traveling in random directions at a variety of speeds - some are fast and some are slow. ... If more energy is put into the system, the average speed of the molecules will increase and more thermal energy or heat will be produced.
