Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North. She stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometers East. What distance did she cove

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North and stop for lunch and then drive 5 km east.

We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

$d=d_{1}+d_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=7+5$

$d=12\ km$

We need to calculate the magnitude of displacement

Using formula of displacement

$D=xi+yj$

$D=5i+7j$

$D=\sqrt{5^2+7^2}$

$D= 8.6\ km$

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Hence, She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
$W= \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2 
$
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and $\Delta x$ is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
$W= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 500 N/m \cdot (0.127m-(-0.203m))^2=27.25 J$

(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
$W_W = -F_{//} (x_2 -x_1)$
where the negative sign is given by the fact that $F_{//}$ points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
$F_{//}=m g sin 15^{\circ}=6 kg \cdot 9.81m/s^2 \cdot sin 15^{\circ}=15.2 N$
therefore, the work done by the weight is
$W_W=-15.2 N \cdot (0.203m-(-0.127m))=-5.02 J$

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration

kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$
