Answer:

3km due West

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. From this definition, we can see that displacement is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

So;

 For the first day, the person walks 4km East:

                                                           4km

                                     Start ----------------------------→ first day

                                                            7km

              ← ------------------------------------------------------  Second day

                                           

The displacement of the boy  = 7km  - 4km  = 3km due West

What is the kinetic energy of a 120-cm thin uniform rod with a mass of 450 g that is rotating about its center at 3.60 rad/s?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

1.05 J.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as

Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.

But,

v = αr .......................... Equation 2

Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.

Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 3.6(0.6)

v = 2.16 m/s.

Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)

Ek = 1.05 J.

A particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the indu
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given that a particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the inductor has a self-inductance of 2.0 V, what is the inductance

Using the power formula

P = IV

Substitute all the parameters

P = 0.8 × 2

P = 1.6 W

But P = I^2 R

Substitute power and current

1.6 = 0.8^2 R

R = 1.6 / 0.64

R = 2.5 ohms

Inductance = reciprocal of resistance

Inductance = 1 / 2.5

Inductance = 0.4

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster
Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car
