The difference b/w the displacement and total distance traveled is 4km.

Explanation.

▪ total distance - displacement

= 17 km - 13 km

= 4 km...answer

A block is released to slide down a frictionless incline of 15∘ and then it encounters a frictional surface with a coefficient o

Elodia [21]

The block's potential energy at the top of the incline (at a height h from the horizontal surface) is equal to its kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline, so that

mgh = 1/2 mv²

where v is its speed at the bottom of the incline. It follows that

v = √(2gh)

If the incline is 20.4 m long, that means the block has a starting height of

sin(15°) = h/(20.4 m) ⇒ h = (20.4 m) sin(15°) ≈ 5.2799 m

and so the block attains a speed of

v = √(2gh) ≈ 10.1728 m/s

The block then slides to a rest over a distance d. Kinetic friction exerts a magnitude F over this distance and performs an amount of work equal to Fd. By the work-energy theorem, this quantity is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy, so that

Fd = 0 - 1/2 mv² ⇒ d = (-1293.58 J)/F

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block as it slides is

∑ F [vertical] = n - mg = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force, so that

n = mg = (25 kg) g = 245 N

and thus the magnitude of friction is

F = -0.16 (245 N) = -39.2 N

(negative since it opposes the block's motion)

Then the block slides a distance of

d = (-1293.58 J) / (-39.2 N) ≈ 32.9994 m ≈ 33 m

A family took a trip in a car traveling East from Greensboro to Wilmington, NC. Use the Graph to answer the questions below.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

Therefore, average speed of the trip = $\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From the graph attached,

Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

= 90 meters

Total time taken = 60 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{90}{60}$

= 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

Therefore, average velocity = $\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}$

= $\frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}$

= $\frac{90-0}{60-0}$

= 1.5 meter per second
