A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop

per's total travel distance? ​
Physics

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m

A less massive moving object has an elastic collision with a more massive object that is not moving. Compare the initial velocit
stepladder [879]

Assume that the small-massed particle is m and the heavier mass particle is M.

Now, by momentum conservation and energy conservation:

   mv = mv_{m} + Mv_{M}

   mv^{2} = mv^{2}_{m} + Mv^{2}_{M}

Now, there are 2 solutions but, one of them is useless to this question's main point so I excluded that point. Ask me in the comments if you want the excluded solution too.

   v_{m} = v\frac{m - M}{m + M}\\\\\\v_{M} = v\frac{m + M}{m + M}\\

So now, we see that v_{m} < 0 and v_{M} > 0. So therefore, the smaller mass recoils out.

Hope this helps you!

Bye!

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st
icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}

Where G=6.67*10^{-11} and M=5.94*10^{24}

F=\frac {(6.67*10^{-11}*5.94*10^{24}*407.7472)}{4*({6.371*10^{6}m)}^{2}}

F= 995.01142 then rounded off

F=995N
