Answer:

Displacement = 70 m towards east

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Let us say that he starts at the point O and travels in a path ABC.

If we join the initial and final point of the path travelled by him, it will give the displacement of the man.

Distance from O to A = 40 m

Distance from A to B = 70 m

Distance from B to C = 40 m

Distance from O to A = Distance from B to C

We want the displacement which is distance between the points O and C

In rectangle opposite sides are equal. Hence Distance from O to C = Distance from A to B

Displacement = Distance from A to B

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest.

(11) The speed of radio waves is 300 000 000 m/s.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Wavelength = 9.68 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 300,000,000m/s

Frequency = 31 Megahertz to Hertz = 31 * 10⁶ Hz

To find the wavelength;

Wavelength = speed/frequency

Wavelength = 300,000,000/31,000,000

Wavelength = 9.68 meters

How long should a spring be stretched for it to store 45 J of energy? The force constant of the spring is

ELEN [110]

Answer:

x = 0.4 m

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched from its equilibrium position. Some energy is stored in the spring. This energy is called the elastic potential energy of the spring. The formula used to calculate the magnitude of this stored energy is given as follows:

P.E = (1/2)kx²

where,

P.E = Elastic Potential Energy Stored in the spring = 45 J

k = Spring Constant = 540 N/m

x = amount of stretching = ?

Therefore,

45 J = (1/2)(540 N/m)x²

x² = (45 J)(2)/(540 N/m)

x = √(0.167 m²)

x = 0.4 m

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.

horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}$

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, $A=3\ m^2$

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}$

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.
