Answer:

Displacement = 20 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Kyle runs 20 m north, 20 m west and then 20 m south.

We need to find Kyles's total displacement.

Total distance = shortest path covered by Kyles.

The net displacement of Kyle is 20 m in east direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

At a certain time a particle had a speed of 48 m/s in the positive x direction, and 4.5 s later its speed was 92 m/s in the oppo

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

$-31.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is calculated as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.

For the particle in this problem, we have:

u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)

v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)

t = 4.5 s is the time interval

Therefore, the average acceleration is

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-92-(+48)}{4.5}=-31.1 m/s^2$

How much kinetic energy does a moving 100 kg object have if it is moving at 5 m/s?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The object has 1250 Joules of Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ mass*velocity²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (100kg)(5m/s)²

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ (100kg)(25m/s²)

KE = 1250 $\frac{kg}{m/s^2}$

KE = 1250J

If the phase of the vibrating sources was changed so that they were vibrating completely out of phase, what effect would this ha

Over [174]

Answer:

There would be complete destructive interference.

Explanation:

This is because since the waves are completely out of phase, the phase difference is half wavelength, that is the phase angle is 180°. The vibrating sources are 180° out of phase with each other.

Since this is the case, the crest of the one source meets the trough of the other, this causes the resultant vibrational wave to cancel out, thus producing a destructive interference pattern.

Since the vibrating sources are completely out of phase, every point they meet is completely out of phase, so the resultant interference pattern would produce a complete destructive interference pattern of no wave.

Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d) x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp = d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)
