If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered. But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?

belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

v = d / t m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 24 / 8

= 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Water (density = 1 ´ 103 kg/m3) flows at 10 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.030 m. the pipe goes up to the second floor of the

Hatshy [7]

density of water = $1000 kg/m^3$

velocity of flow = $10 m/s$

radius of pipe = $0.030 m$

Height of second floor = $2 m$

Now we can use here Bernuoli's Equation to find the speed of water flow at second floor

$P_1 + 1/2\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1= P_2 + 1/2 \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$

$P + 1/2 * 1000 * 10^2 + 1000* 9.8 * 0 = P + 1/2 * 1000 * v^2 + 1000*9.8*2$

$v = 7.8 m/s$

Now in order to find the radius of pipe we can use equation of continuity

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

$\pi *0.030^2 * 10 = \pi * r^2 * 7.8$

$r = 0.034 m$

So radius of pipe at second floor is 0.034 meter

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B with a velocity v at right angles to the field. It moves in a circle with p

alukav5142 [94]

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

$F=qvB$

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

$qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

which can be rewritten as

$v=\frac{qB}{mr}$

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

$\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}$

So, we get:

$T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}$

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) $a. f/10$

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

$f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}$

A body travels 30m in 5s, 45m in 7s and then 65m in the last 5s. Find the average speed of the body

JulijaS [17]

We can find the average speed of the body by finding the total distance covered, and then dividing it by the total time of the motion.

The total distance covered is:
$S=30 m + 45m+65m=140 m$

while the total time of the motion is
$t=5 s+7s+5 s=17 s$

So, the average speed of the body is:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{140 m}{17 s}=8.24 m/s$
