Answer:

20m/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement eastward = 200m

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by time;

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Velocity = $\frac{200}{10}$ = 20m/s due east

If the current in a wire is directed upward, what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by the current?

Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. counterclockwise

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the right-hand rule:

- put your thumb finger of the right hand in the same direction of the current in the wire (upward)

- wrap the other fingers around the thumb

- the direction of the other fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field lines

By doing these steps, we see that the other fingers form concentric circles in a counterclockwise direction (seen from above), so this is the direction of the magnetic field lines.

Mark and David are loading identical cement blocks onto David’s pickup truck. Mark lifts his block straight up from the ground t

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

b) true. The jobs are equal

Explanation:

The work on a body is the scalar product of the force applied by the distance traveled.

W = F. d

Work is a scalar, the work equation can be developed

W = F d cos θ

Where θ is the angle between force and displacement

Let's apply these conditions to the exercise

a) False, if we see the expression d cosT is the projection of the displacement in the direction of the force, so there may be several displacement, but its projection is always the same

b) true. The jobs are equal dx = d cosθ

c) False, because the force is equal and the projection of displacement is the same

d) False, knowledge of T is not necessary because the projection of displacement is always the same

e) False mass is not in the definition of work

Three beads are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side d = 3.4cm. The first bead of mass m1=140gis placed on

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

R cm = 1/M ∑ $m_{i}$ $r_{i}$

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

M = 140 + 45 + 85

M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

R₃ = d i ^

R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b) Let's write the mass center component x

Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

Xcm = 238/270

Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

Ycm = 1.76 cm

Doc Brown has calculated his Delorean can accelerate at a rate of 2.52 m/s/s. How

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

304.89m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration a = 2.52m/s²

final speed v = 39.2m/s

initial speed = 0m/s (car accelerates from rest)

Using the equation of motion below to get the distance of Doc brown from Marty;

v² = u²+2as

substitute the given parameters

39.2² = 0²+2(2.52)s

1536.64 = 0+5.04s

divide both sides by 5.04

1536.64/5.04 = 5.04s/5.04

rearrange the equation

5.04s/5.04 = 1536.64/5.04

s = 304.89m

Hence He and Marty must stand at 304.89m to allow the car to accelerate from rest to a speed of 39.2 m/s?
