a car moves 6 km east, then 4km north. what was the distance covered? What was the total displacement?

Physics

Aliun [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

distance= 10 km

displacement= 7.21 km

Explanation:

distance= scalar (only magnitude)

displacement= vector (magnitude & direction)

distance= 6 km+ 4 km

= 10 km

displacement= shortest difference btwn 2 pts=

sqrt( 6^2+4^2)

sqrt(52)

7.21 km

An atoms valence electrons are those electrons that have the highest energy true or false
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An atom's valance electrons are those electrons that have the highest energy. Atoms tend to be stable and nonreactive if they have the highestvalence electrons. In the periodic table, the number of valence electrons in each element decreases from left to right across each period.

a bus is moving with the velociity of 36 km/hr . after seeing a boy at 20 m ahead on the road, the driver applies the brake and
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Assumption: the acceleration of this bus is constant while the brake was applied.

Acceleration of this bus: approximately \left(-6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right).

It took the bus approximately 1.7\;\rm s to come to a stop.

Explanation:

Quantities:

  • Displacement of the bus: x = 10\; \rm m.
  • Initial velocity of the bus: \displaystyle u = 36\; \rm km \cdot hr^{-1} = 36\; \rm km \cdot hr^{-1}\times \frac{1\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{3.6\; \rm km\cdot hr^{-1}} = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • Final velocity of the bus: v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1} because the bus has come to a stop.
  • Acceleration, a: unknown, but assumed to be a constant.
  • Time taken, t: unknown.

Consider the following SUVAT equation:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, t^2\right) + u\, t.

On the other hand, assume that the acceleration of this bus is indeed constant. Given the initial and final velocity, the time it took for the bus to stop would be inversely proportional to the acceleration of this bus. That is:

\displaystyle t = \frac{v - u}{a}.

Therefore, replace the quantity t with the expression \displaystyle \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right) in that SUVAT equation:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, \left(\frac{v -u}{a}\right)^2\right) + u\, \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right).

Simplify this equation:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{1}{2}\, \left(a\, {\left(\frac{v -u}{a}\right)}^2\right) + u\, \left(\frac{v - u}{a}\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{a}\right) + \frac{u\, (v - u)}{a} =\frac{1}{a}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right)\end{aligned}.

Therefore, \displaystyle a= \frac{1}{x}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right).

In this question, the value of x, u, and v are already known:

  • x = 10\; \rm m.
  • \displaystyle u =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • v = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

Substitute these quantities into this equation to find the value of a:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{1}{x}\, \left(\frac{{(v - u)}^2}{2} + u\, (v - u)\right) \\ &= \frac{1}{10\; \rm m}\times \left(\frac{{\left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)}^2}{2} + \left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)\times 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)\\ &\approx -6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

(The value of acceleration a is less than zero because the velocity of the bus was getting smaller.)

Substitute a \approx -6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} (alongside u = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} and v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}) to estimate the time required for the bus to come to a stop:

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &\approx \frac{0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{-6.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 1.7\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

Why is cancer so horrible
____ [38]

Answer:

Because it kills people. I have had 6 relatives who have died from it in the past 2 years. It's horrible.

Explanation:

If you're wondering what causes cancer, it is rapid and uncontrollable cell regeneration. The majority of cancers result from random mutations arising during DNA replication in the normal stem cells required during development and tissue maintenance.

How do you test hydrogen gas
Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

A splint is lit and held near the opening of the tube, then the stopper is removed to expose the splint to the gas. If the gas is flammable, the mixture ignites. This test is most commonly used to identify hydrogen, which extinguishes with a distinctive 'squeaky pop' sound.
