M1 v1 = (m1 + m2)v2.

All of the exponents should be lowered to the bottom right of the letters.

Julianne went to a restaurant to have a taste of her favorite fried chicken and spaghetti. She drove 2 km, east and then 8.5 km,

GREYUIT [131]

Julianne’s displacement from her origin is equal to 10.015 kilometers.

Given the following data:

Distance A = 2 km, East.

Distance B = 8.5 km, Northeast.

To calculate Julianne’s displacement from her origin:

<h3>How to calculate displacement.</h3>

We would denote the two (2) unit vectors along the East and Northeast directions by i and j respectively.

Note: Northeast is at angle of 45° with the East.

In terms of vectors, the distances becomes:

Distance A = 2i

$Distance\;B=8.5 [(cos 45i + sin 45j)]\\\\Distance\;B=(\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } i \;+\;\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } j)$

For the resultant displacement:

$D^2 = [(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2\\\\D =\sqrt{[(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2} \\\\D=2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } + \frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} }$

D = 10.015 kilometers.

A fan connected to a 120-volt electrical system by an extension cord was worn through and exposed the bare, energized conductor,

kari74 [83]

Answer: the ladder

Explanation: since the energized conductor is already in contact with the ladder there by making electric current to flow. The base of the ladder is on the ground there by making the circuit to be complete and causing electrocution.

A ball whose mass is 0.3 kg hits the floor with a speed of 5 m/s and rebounds upward with a speed of 2 m/s. If the ball was in c

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Change in momentum equals impulse which is a product of force and time

Change in momentum is given by m(v-u)

Equating this to impulse formula then

m(v-u)=Ft

Making F the subject of the formula then

$F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}$

Take upward direction as positive then downwards is negative

Substituting m with 0.3 kg, v with 2 m/s, and u with -5 m/s and t with 0.0015 s then

$F=\frac {0.3(2--5)}{0.0015}=1400N$

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The

qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m
