Answer:

his displacement is 5m

Explanation:

A is the stage at which a man starts walking. He's walking 4 m north, i.e. AB, then going 3 m east, i.e. BC. The displacement is the connecting straight line between the original and the final position. The displacement is thus the AC hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle. By applying the theorem of hypotenuse, we get

⇒displacement=16+9−−−−−√=25−−√=5m

Car 1 goes around a level curve at a constant speed of 65 km/h . The curve is a circular arc with a radius of 95 m . Car 2 goes

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters.

Explanation:

Speed of car 1, $v_1=65\ km/h$

Radius of the circular arc, $r_1=95\ m$

Car 2 has twice the speed of Car 1, $v_2=130\ km/h$

We need to find the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on have to be in order for both cars to have the same centripetal acceleration. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

According to given condition,

$\dfrac{v_1^2}{r_1}=\dfrac{v_2^2}{r_2}$

$\dfrac{65^2}{95}=\dfrac{130^2}{r_2}$

On solving we get :

$r_2=380\ m$

So, the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1-kg collar (located at point (2,2) from the origin) is pulled along a vertical, frictionless bar with a force of 10 N applied

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the collar, m = 1 kg

applied force on the bar, F = 10 N

The acceleration of the collar can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

F is the applied force

m is mass of the object

a is the acceleration

a = F / m

a = 10 / 1

a = 10 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.50 rev/s in 28.9 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

0.108 rad/s².

Explanation:

Given that

Initial angular velocity ,ωi = 0 rad/s

Final angular velocity ωf= 0.5 rev/s

We know that

1 rev/s = 6.28 rad/s

ωf= 3.14 rad/s

t= 28.9 s

We know that (if acceleration is constant)

ωf=ωi + α t

α=Angular acceleration

3.14 = 0 + α x 28.9

$\alpha=\dfrac{3.14}{28.9}\ rad/s^2\\\alpha=0.108\ rad/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration will be 0.108 rad/s².

Therefore the answer will be 0.108 rad/s².
