Distance and direction of an objects change in position from starting point

Physics
1 answer:
Tju [1.3M]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

An object changes position if it moves relative to a reference point. The change in position is determined by the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point (displacement). Direction • Direction is the line, or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.

Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles α = 41.4° and β
storchak [24]
The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] =  a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})

Because \vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0, the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
 or
 a + 0.847b = 0                            (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
 or
 a + 1.4228b = 52.926                (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

An object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m. 

The parameters given from the question are:

Mass M = 2kg

Height h = 20m

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.

From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E

Maximum P.E = mgh

Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J

But

K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula

392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2

V^2 = 392

V = sqrt( 392 )

V = 19.8 m/s

V = 20 m/s approximately

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and ins
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A.) 39.5 m

B.) 0

C.) 60m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).

To Find the total displacement,

Reduce everything by dividing them by 5

X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)

For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,

dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)

But dy/dt = velocity.

If dy/dt = 0, then

60t - 15 = 0

60t = 15

t = 15/60

t = 0.25s

Substitutes t in equation (1)

Total displacement will be

X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40

X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40

Total displacement = 39.5 m

To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)

V = 60 (0.25) - 15

V = 0.

and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt

dv/dt = 60

Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2
