Answer:

Scalar quantity is the distance travelled i.e 450 meters

Explanation:

The scalar component of displacement is the distance travelled which is 450 meters.

The vector component is basically the direction of the displacement vector.

Hence, scalar quantity is the distance travelled i.e 450 meters

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses $x_1$ distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1$

When speed doubles

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}$

$x_2=2x_1$

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

A brick lands 10.1 m from the base of a building. If it was given an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s [61º above the horizontal], how

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity $V_{o}$ has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle $\alpha=61\º$ :

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha$ (1)

$V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}$ (2)

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha$ (3)

$V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}$ (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

$X=V_{ox}.t$ (5)

Where:

$X=10.1m$ is the distance where the brick landed

$t$ is the time in seconds

If we already know $X$ and $V_{ox}$ , we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

$t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}$ (6)

$t=2.42s$ (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

$-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (8)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

$g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

$-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}$ (9)

$-y=-10.52m$ (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

$y=10.52m$ >>>>This is the height of the building
