Answer:

Total distance= 250miles

Displacement= 206.15 miles

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car drives 200 miles east

Turns and travels 50 miles north

Step two:

The total distance travelled= 200+50= 250 miles

The displacement

S^2= 50^2+200^2

S^2= 2500+40000

S^2=42500

S=√42500

S=206.15 miles

If a speeding train hits the brakes and it takes the train 39 seconds to go from 54.8 m/s to 12 m/s what is the acceleration?

jekas [21]

Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?

Eddi Din [679]

The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

In an electric field, 0.90 joule of work is required to bring 0.45 coulomb of charge from point a to point

jarptica [38.1K]

The difference in electric potential energy between the two points is
$\Delta U = q \Delta V$
where q is the magnitude of the charge and $\Delta V$ is the electric potential difference.

But for energy conservation, the difference in electric potential energy $\Delta U$ between the two points is equal to the work done to move the charge between A and B:
$W=\Delta U$
so we have
$W=q \Delta V$

and by substituting the numbers of the problem, we find the value of $\Delta V$ :
$\Delta V = \frac{W}{q}= \frac{0.90 J}{0.45 C}=2 V$
