An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

s at the 6-inch mark, crawls to the 19-inch mark, then moves to the 7-inch mark. What was the total distance the ant traveled?

Answer:

it moves 25 inches.

Explanation:

the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.

A record of travel along a straight path is as follows: 1. Start from rest with constant acceleration of 2.65 m/s2 for 17.0 s. 2
nlexa [21]
Hello

Let's solve the problem in the three different steps

1) Uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration a_1 = 2.65~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_1=17~s. The body is initially at rest, so the distance covered is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}a_1t_1^2=382.9~m
Calling v_f and v_i the final and initial velocity, and since the v_i=0~m/s because the body starts from rest, we can use
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}
to find the final velocity after this first leg:
v_{f}=v_i+a_1t_1=45~m/s
And the average velocity in this first leg is
v_1= \frac{v_f+v_i}{2}=22.5~m/s

2) Uniform motion. The velocity is constant and it is equal to the final velocity of the first leg: v_2=45~m/s. This is also the average velocity of the second leg. 
The total time of this second leg is t_2=1.60~min = 96~s. The distance covered is given by
S_2=v_2t_2=45~m/s \cdot 96~s=4320~m

3) Uniformly decelerated motion, with constant deceleration of a_3=-9.39~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_3=4.8~s. Here, the initial velocity of the body is the final velocity of the previous leg, i.e. v_i=45~m/s. Therefore, the distance covered in this leg is given by
S_3=v_i t_3 + \frac{1}{2} a_3 t^2 =107.8~m
The final velocity in this leg is given by
v_f=v_i+at=45~m/s-9.39~m/s^2 \cdot 4.8~s = -0.07~m/s
The negative sign means that after decelerating, the body has started to go in the opposite direction. Similarly to step 1, the average velocity in this leg is given by
v_3 =  \frac{1}{2}(v_f+v_i)=  \frac{1}{2}(-0.07~m/s+45~m/s)=  22.5~m/s

4) Finally, the total distance covered in the motion is
S=S_1+S_2+S_3=382.9~m+4320~m+107.8~m=4810.7~m
To find the average velocity, we must "weigh" the average velocity of each leg for the correspondent time of that leg:
v_{ave}= \frac{v_1t_1+v_2t_2+v_3t_3}{t_1+t_2+t_3}=40.8~m/s

Mr.B's laser needs a voltage of 10 volts to push a current of 5 amps through it's laser diode. What is the resistance of the las
docker41 [41]

The resistance of the laser whose voltage difference pushes the current through its laser diode is 2 ohms.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

The resistance is the opposition offered to the current flow.

According to the ohm's law, potential difference is directly proportional to the current flowing in the conductor.

V =I x R

Where R is the constant of proportionality called resistance.

Given is the potential difference V =10 Volts and the current flow of 5A, then the resistance will be

R = 10/5 = 2 ohms.

Thus, the resistance of the laser is 2 ohms.

Learn more about resistance.
