You walk 12 meters north, then 10 meters west. What is your displacement

Physics
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Your displacement is 15.62m NW

Explanation:

We can use the Phytagorean theorem to determine the displacement:

a^2+b^2=c^2

12^2+10^2=c^2

144+100=c^2

244=c^2

15.62=c

So your displacement is 15.62m NW

What is the minimum speed needed to fire a champagne cork a distance of 11m?
Crank

To start with solving this problem, let us assume a launch angle of 45 degrees since that gives out the maximum range for given initial speed. Also assuming that it was launched at ground level since no initial height was given. Using g = 9.8 m/s^2, the initial velocity is calculated using the formula:

(v sinθ)^2 = (v0 sinθ)^2 – 2 g d

where v is final velocity = 0 at the peak, v0 is the initial velocity, d is distance = 11 m

Rearranging to find for v0: <span>
v0 = sqrt (d * g/ sin(2 θ)) </span>

<span>v0 = 10.383 m/s</span>

Consider an object sliding at constant velocity along a frictionless surface. Which of the following best describes the forces o
Aliun [14]
-- The net vertical force on the object is zero.
Otherwise it would be accelerating up or down.

-- The net horizontal force on the object is zero.
Otherwise it would be accelerating horizontally,
that is, its 'velocity' would not be constant.  That
would contradict information given in the question.

The total net force on the object is the resultant of the
net vertical component and net horizontal component.

Total net force =  √(0² + 0²)

                         =  √(0 + 0)

                         =  √0

                         =  Zero.

The correct answer is the last choice on the list.

Also, you know what ! ?  It doesn't even matter whether the surface it's
sliding on is frictionless or not. 

If the object's velocity is constant, then the NET force on it must be zero. 
If it's sliding on sandpaper, then something must be pushing it with constant
force, to balance the friction force, and make the net force zero.  If the total
net force isn't zero, then the object would have to be accelerating ... either
its speed, or its direction, or both, would have to be changing.

an electron travels at 0.3037 times the speed of light through a magnetic field and feels a force of 1.2498 pN. What is the magn
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charge on an electron (q) = 1.6 * 10 ^ -19 C

Velocity of electron (v) = 0.3037 * 300,000,000 = 91,110,000 m/sec

We know that, Force exerted on moving particle moving through a magnetic field :

F= q * v * B ( q,v\ and\  B\ are\ mutually\ perpendicular)

1.2498 * 10 ^ -12 = 1.6 * 10^ -19 * 91110000 * B

B =  0.08573 T

How do I solve this​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to know the electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electrical charge (-1,602 × 10-19 C), The expression to calculate the work is given by:

W = q*V

where:

q = charge = 1,602 × 10^(-19) [C]

V = voltage = 500 [V]

W = work [J]

W = 1,602 × 10^(-19) * 500

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

A baseball is hit by a batter with an initial velocity of 95 miles per hour at 45° above the horizontal. The opposing team misse
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

5.61 seconds

Explanation:

The baseball moves as a projectile. Its angle is 45° and its velocity is 95 miles per hour.

Let us convert this to metres per second:

1 mile per hour = 0.45 m/s

95 miles per hour = 95 * 0.45 = 42.75 m/s

We need to find the time of flight of the baseball. Time of flight is given as:

T = \frac{2u sin\alpha }{g}

where u = initial velocity

α = angle

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s)

Therefore:

T = \frac{2 * 42.75 * sin40}{9.8}\\ \\T = 5.61 secs

The baseball was in the air for 5.61 seconds.
