A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

The acceleration due to gravity on earth will decrease as which of the following occurs. The mass of the object decreases. The d
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's centre

We notice that:

- g does not depend on the mass of the object

- g is inversely proportional to r

This means that if the distance of the object from the Earth's centre increases, g decreases. So, the correct option is

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

A batter hits a pop fly, and the baseball (with a mass of 148 g) reaches an altitude of 265 ft. If we assume that the ball was 3
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:

U = m × g × h

U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)

m: mass in kg

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

h: height in m

Equivalences

1 kg = 1000 g

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²

1 J = N × m

Known data

h_2 = 265ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 80.77m

h_1 = 3ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 0.914m

m = 148g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} = 0.148kg

g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

Problem development

ΔU: Potential energy change

ΔU = U₂ - U₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

U_2 - U_1 = 0.148kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}*(80.77m - 0.914m) = 115.82 N * m = 115.82J

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Four ways to increase magnitude of current in dynamo​
8090 [49]

Answer:

hmm

Explanation:

By increasing the number of turns in the coil, strength of magnetic field, speed of rotation of the coil in the magnetic field and by decreasing the distance between the coil and the magnet the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. can be increased in generator/dynamo.
