A sprinter completes a 400m race (one lap around the track). Mr Borst thinks the magnitudes of her distance and displacement are

equalIs he correct?

GalinKa [24]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Displacement is how far between your initial and finishing position.

If one lap around the track is 400 m and the sprinter ran 1 lap around the track. Then the sprinter's distance is 400 m and their displacement is 0 m

If the sprinter ran 400 m in a straight line however, then it would be equal.

But since the sprinter ran 1 lap around there is no displacement.

I hope this helped you...

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.

A 2-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to h
timofeeve [1]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})

N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}

N = 1.374lb

PART B) Acceleration

F_t = ma_t

-mgsin\theta = ma_t

-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t

-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t

a_T = -16.10ft/s^2

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

<em>NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.</em>

When a man walks across the carpet and reaches for the door knob, why does he get shocked? doorknob Question 3 options: There is
Mumz [18]

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity. When you grab a doorknob, electrons jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity, giving you a shock.

<h3>What is static electricity?</h3>

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity.

The charge will persist until it can be moved away by an electric current or an electrical discharge.

when we walk on the carpet with socks our feet slide electrons off the carpet.  it leads to leaving you with a slightly negative static charge.

When you grab a doorknob electrons jump from your hand to the knob which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

Due to the static electricity jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

To know more about static electricity refer to the link ;

A 15.5 kg mass vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 9.73 Hz. It has a maximum displacement from equilibrium of
algol [13]

Answer:

12.14 cm

Explanation:

mass, m = 15.5 kg

frequency, f = 9.73 Hz

maximum amplitude, A = 14.6 cm

t = 1.25 s

The equation of the simple harmonic motion

y = A Sin ωt

y =  A Sin (2 x π x f x t)

put, t = 1.25 s, A = 14.6 cm, f = 9.73 Hz

y = 14.6 Sin ( 2 x 3.14 x 9.73 x 1.25)

y = 14.6 Sin 76.38

y = 12.14 cm

Thus, the displacement of the particle from the equilibrium position is 12.14 cm.
