You walk from your bedroom, 25m to the mailbox, and then walk 25m back to your bedroom. What is your total distance? What is you

r displacement?

1 answer:
Yuki888 [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 110,000 kg of scrap metal in
erica [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a freight car, m_1=30,000-kg

Speed of a freight car, u_1=0.85\ m/s

Mass of a scrap metal, m_2=110,000\ kg

(a) Let us assume that the final velocity of the loaded freight car is V. The momentum of the system will remain conserved as follows :

30000\times 0.85=(30000+110000)V\\\\V=\dfrac{30000\times 0.85}{30000+110000}\\\\=0.182\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the loaded freight car is 0.182 m/s.

(b) Lost on kinetic energy = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}[(m_1+m_2)V^2-m_1u_1^2)]\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [(30,000+110,000 )0.182^2-30000(0.85)^2]\\\\=-8518.82\ J

Lost in kinetic energy is 8518.82. Negative sign shows loss.

The figure below shows a man in a boat on a lake. The man's mass is 74 kg, and the boat's is 135 kg. The man and boat are initia
vazorg [7]

The velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

<h3>Final velocity of the boat</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

  • Pi is initial momentum
  • Pf is final momentum

v(74 + 135) = 15 x 5

v(209) = 75

v = 75/209

v = 0.36 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without
kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.

Having just enough weight to achieve all three states of buoyancy with only minor adjustments in the water is the definition of:
eduard

Answer:

Proper weighting

Explanation:

Proper weighing involves the condition of a scuba diver that is fully geared having a near empty tank and the BCD emptied with a held breadth is expected to float at eye level

The fundamental of adequate or good buoyancy of a scuba diver is to ensure proper weighting when diving, With proper weighting, there is more control for the diver when a safety stop is required. There is less need to carry excess weight that increases drag and gas consumption.

When a fluid flows over an object, the "friction drag": __________.A.is the drag due to the shear stress only. B. depends only o
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow

Explanation:

what is friction drag?

  • friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
  • it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
  • I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation
