Answer:

displacement

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

A reference point refers to a location or physical object from which the motion (movement) of another physical object or body can be determined.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, etc.

Displacement can be defined as the change in the position of a body or an object. It is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

This ultimately implies that, the difference between the starting and ending positions of a physical object is generally referred to as displacement

: A 70 kg man and a 12 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 25 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$x_1 = 3.74m$

Explanation:

given,

mass of man = 70 kg

mass of sled = 12 kg

F = m a_s

$a_s = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_s = \dfrac{8.2}{12}$

$a_s = 0.68\ m/s^2$

$F = m a_m$

$a_m = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_m = \dfrac{8.2}{70}$

$a_m = 0.12\ m/s^2$

$x_1+x_2 = 25$

$\dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2+ \dfrac{1}{2}a_mt^2 = 25$

$(a_c+a_m)t^2=50$

$(0.12+0.68)t^2=50$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{0.8}}$

t = 7.90 s

$x_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2$

$x_1 = 0.5\times 0.12 \times 7.90^2$

$x_1 = 3.74m$

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10^−11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v =

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

mass, m = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ kg

Velocity, v = 23.0 m/s

Length of plates D₀ = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

Magnitude of electric field, E = 8.20 × 10⁴ N/C

drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.290 mm = 0.290 × 10⁻³ m

density of the ink drop = 1000 kg/m^3

Now,

Time = $\frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{Velocity}}$

Time = $\frac{\textup{0.016}}{\textup{23}}$

Time = 6.9 × 10⁻⁴ s

Now, force due to the electric field, F = q × E

where, q is the charge

Also, Force = Mass × acceleration

q × E = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ × a

a = $\frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}}$

Now from the Newton's equation of motion

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

d is the distance

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

$0.290\times10^{-3}=0\times(6.9\times10^{-4})+\frac{1}{2}\times(\frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}})\times(6.9\times10^{-4})^2$

q = 9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

QUESTION 10

Elena L [17]

The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:

$\theta =37.01^{\circ}$

We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.

If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:

x-direction

All the forces acting in this direction are:

$T_{1}sin(\theta)-T_{2}sin(\theta)=0$ (1)

Where:

T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2

Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)

y-direction

The forces in this direction are:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{2}cos(\theta)-W=0$ (2)

Here W is the weight of the steel beam.

We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.

Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:

$T_{1}cos(\theta)+T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)-m_{steel}g=0$

$2T_{1}cos(\theta)=m_{steel}g$

T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:

$cos(\theta)=\frac{m_{steel}g}{2T_{1}}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{892*9.81}{2*5479}$

$cos(\theta)=0.80$

Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.

What direction does current flow from a battery in a series circuit?

telo118 [61]

What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.

But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.
