Describing motion verbally with distance and displacement

Physics
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Distance is the actual position traveled by an object. Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object.

Explanation:

Distance is the actual length covered by an object from one position to another. It is a scalar quantity. It cannot be negative.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object. The displacement can be calculated by subtracting initial distance from the final distance. It is vector quantity. The displacement covered by an object can be zero, negative and positive.

Suppose, the boy travels from home to school then come back to his home. The distance between from his home to his school is 3 km.

In this case, the boy covers the total distance from home to school then to home is 6 km. But the displacement is zero because he comes to same position.

A 1100 kgkg safe is 2.4 mm above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compres
Drupady [299]

Answer:

191.36 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²

k = 51.744/0.2704

k = 191.36 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m

Average velocity = (x( 2.08 ) - x ( 0 )) / ( 2.08 s - 0 s )
x ( 2.08 ) = 1.42 * 2.08² - 0.05 * 2.08³ =
= 1.42 * 4.3264 - 0.443456 = 6.143484 - 0.443456 ≈ 5.7 m
v = ( 5.7 m - 0 m) / (2.08 s - 0 s ) = 5.7 / 2.08 m/s = 27.4 m/s

Answer:

Since strong nuclear forces involve only nuclear particles (not electrons, bonds, etc)  items 3 and 4 are eliminated.

Again item 2 refers to bonds between atoms and is eliminated.

This leaves only item 1.

Nuclear forces are very short range forces between components of the nucleus.

Weak nuclear forces are trillions of times smaller than strong forces.

Gravitational forces are much much smaller than the weak nuclear force.
