Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

An input for of 80 N is used to lift an object weighing 240 N with a system of pulleys. How far must the rope around the pulleys
sammy [17]

Answer:

4.2 m

Explanation:

Note: If energy is conserved, i.e no work is done against friction

Work input = work output.

Work output = Force output × distance,

Work input = force input × distance moved moved.

Therefore,

input force×distance moved = output force × distance moved........................Equation 1

Given: input force = 80 N, output force = 240 N, output distance = 1.4 m

Let input distance = d

Substitute into equation 1

80×d = 240×1.4

80d = 336

d = 336/80

d = 4.2 m.

Thus the rope around the pulley must be pulled 4.2 m

Two electric charges are moved so that they are twice as far apart as they had originally been. Is the force they experience fro
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

F \  \alpha \  \frac{1}{D^{2}} for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2}  }= \frac{1}{4} \eq  \frac{1}{.D^{2}  } \eq

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.
