Answer:

Total: 200 meters, Displacement: 100 meters South

Explanation:

First, add up the meters traveled to get the total distance.

50m + 150m = 200m

Lastly, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position. The person first walked 50 meters north but then traveled 150 meters south. Therefore, their displacement was 100 meters south.

50m - 150m = -100m

(Note: Directions are vectors. North and East are positive vectors while South and West are negative)

Why is the perfect mechine is not possible in the real life?​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Because the mechanical advantage of the machine is affected by friction and weight but velocity ratio is not. So, mechanical advantage is less than velocity rate. Thus, the machine's efficiency is less than 100% and can't be a perfect machine

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du
ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration \alpha, the disk achieves an angular velocity \omega at time t according to

\omega=\alpha t

and angular displacement \theta according to

\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2

where \omega_f and \omega_i are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity \omega_0 equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle \theta according to

\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2

which would be equal to

\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}

What’s the formula for work
padilas [110]

Answer:

Fd

Explanation:

Work is force times distance. If you push on an object really hard but it does not budge, you have still performed no work on it, because anything times zero is still zero.
