Answer:

The man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back to the starting line.

We need to find the total displacement of the man.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

Also,

Displacement = final position - initial position

As it reaches back to its starting line, it means, the displacement is equal to 0.

Hence, the man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Find the kenetic energy of a car of mass 700kg racing with a velocity of 10m/s

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

35000 KJ

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy is given by the formula :

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(10)^{2}$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(100)$

$E_{k} = (350)(100)$ OR $E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (70000)$

$E_{k} = 35000$

Units will be kilojoules since the units of mass was kilograms .

Our final answer is 35000 KJ

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em> $W=mg$ <em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>
