Definition of distance in physics

Physics
1 answer:
solniwko [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s2. A passenger arrives at a point next to the track 6.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.69 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

First lets find the position of the train as a function of time as seen by the passenger when he arrives to the train station. For this state, the train is at a position x0 given by:

x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)*(6.4s)^2 = 8.6016 m

So, the position as a function of time is:

xT(t)=(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m

Now, if the passanger is moving at a constant velocity of V, his position as a fucntion of time is given by:

xP(t)=V*t

In order for the passenger to catch the train

xP(t)=xT(t)

(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m = V*t

To solve this equation for t we make use of the quadratic formula, which has real solutions whenever its determinat is grater than zero:

0≤ b^2-4*a*c = V^2 - 4 * ((1/2)(0.42m/s^2)) * 8.6016 m =V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2

This equation give us the minimum velocity the passenger must have in order to catch the train:

V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2 = 0

V^2 = 7.22534(m/s)^2

V = 2.6879 m/s

A single-turn circular loop of radius 6 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The current is  I  = 6.68 \  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The radius of the loop is  r =  6 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

     The  earth's magnetic field is B_e =  0.7G=  0.7  G * \frac{1*10^{-4} T}{1 G}  = 0.7 *10^{-4} T

      The  number of turns is  N  =1

Generally the magnetic field generated by the current in the loop is mathematically represented as

        B  =  \frac{\mu_o  * N  *  I}{2 r }

Now for the earth's magnetic field to be canceled out the magnetic field generated by the loop must be equal to the magnetic field out the earth

         B  =  B_e

=>     B_e =  \frac{\mu_o  *  N  *  I  }{ 2 * r}

     Where  \mu is the permeability of free space with value  \mu _o  =   4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

       0.7  *10^{-4}=  \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7}  * 1 * I}{2 * 0.06}

=>     I  =  \frac{2 *  0.06 *  0.7 *10^{-4}}{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1}

       I  = 6.68 \  A
