Answer:

39 miles

Explanation:

we will make your house to be the central point in the four cardinal points.

Please follow the diagram on the attachment to get the movement clearly.

First, you move to a dry cleaners 12miles east of your house, and then to a grocery store 15miles west of your house.

This means you must have moved back to your house before going to the grocery which is 15miles west of your house.

so to and fro from your house to dry cleaners = 12*2 = 24 miles.

Then the total distance you cover will be = 24 +15 = 39 miles

Un cuerpo se mueve con MRU a una rapidez de 12 m/s y recorre 240 m; luego, disminuye su ra¬pidez uniformemente a razón de 2 m/s2
Annette [7]

Answer:

29 seconds

Explanation:

First we have a constant speed of 12 m/s and the distance of 240 m, so to find the time we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

240 = 12 * time1

time1 = 20 seconds

Then, the speed decreases at 2 m/s2 until it reaches 2 m/s. So to find this time, we use this formula:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

2 = 12 - 2 * time2

2*time2 = 10

time2 = 5 seconds.

Then, the speed increases from 2 m/s to 22 m/s with an acceleration of 5 m/s2, so we have:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

22 = 2 + 5 * time3

5*time3= 20

time3 = 4 seconds

The total time is:

Total time = time1 + time2 + time3 = 20 + 5 + 4 = 29 seconds

A force of magnitude 33.73 lb directed toward the right is exerted on an object. What other force must be applied to the object
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

33.73 lb to the left

Explanation:

You need to exert a force with the same magnitude, but opposite direction. You can visualize it in this way: When you push an object, the object will follow your path, but if there is another person opposing the force you are exerting, the object will just not move. If the force that the other person exerts were higher, then the object would move in the opposite direction. So, you need them to have the same magnitude.

A 1.10-kg wrench is acting on a nut trying to turn it. The length of the wrench lies directly to the east of the nut. A force 15
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

τ = 11.25 Nm

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of wrench, m = 1.10 Kg

Force on the wrench, F = 150 N

position of force, r = 15 cm = 0.15 m

angle of nut = 30°

We know,

torque = Force x distance

F = 150 sin 30°

F = 75 N

τ = 75 x r

τ = 75 x 0.15

τ = 11.25 Nm

Torque at the center of the nut is equal to 11.25 N.
