Answer:

calculating displacement.

Explanation:

It's not true that displacement and distance would be the same always. Displacement is always smaller than or equal to distance as it is the smallest path between the initial and final point whereas distance is the measure of the total path covered.

$\text{Acceleration}=\frac{d^2}{dt^2}\text{displacement}$
So the dimensions of acceleration is $LT^{-2}$
Any answer that comes under that definition is correct.

An elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s2.

sergeinik [125]

Answer : 413.44N

Here it is given that an elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s² . And we are interested in finding out the apparent weight of a 64.2 kg man . For the diagram refer to the attachment .

From the elevator's frame ( non inertial frame of reference) , we would have to think of a pseudo force.
The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .
When a elevator accelerates down , the weight recorded is less than the actual weight .

From the Free body diagram ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = mg - ma \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = m ( g - a ) \\$

Mass of the man = 64.2 kg

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2( 9.8 - 3.36) N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2 * 6.44 N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf Weight_{apparent}= 413.44 N }} \\$

What is the centripetal force that would be required to keep a 4.0 kg mass moving in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.80 m

KIM [24]

Answer:

D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal force is given by:

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the tangential speed

r is the radius of the circular trajector

In this problem, we have m = 4.0 kg, v = 6.0 m/s and r = 0.80 m, therefore substituting into the equation we get

$F=(4.0 kg)\frac{(6.0 m/s)^2}{0.80 m}=180 N$

The centripetal force is the force that keeps the object in a circular trajectory, so it is a force that is always directed inward (towards the centre of the circular path) and radially. Therefore, the correct answer is

D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward

Which of the following examples could this free body diagram describe? (Check all that apply)

boyakko [2]

Answer:

A car accelerating to the right

Explanation:

The free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object. The length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by that arrow.

In this free-body diagram, we see that there are 4 forces acting on the object, in 4 different directions. We also see that the two vertical forces are equal so they are balanced, while the force to the rigth is larger than the force to the left: this means that there is a net force to the right, so the object is accelerating to the right.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A car accelerating to the right
