Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

Answer:

Distance = 80cm

Displacement = 20cm

Explanation:

Distance does not depend on direction, its the total amount traveled.

Displacement has a direction. Displacement is how far your stopping point is from the beginning point.

The ant could have walked 50cm to the east, stopped and turned around, walked 50cm to the west, walking a total distance of 100cm, but the displacement would be 0 because he ended up at the same spot that he started. It can get much more complicated than this, but this is a good start.

A 62 pound box is on an incline. Determine the minimum force P that would result in the box starting to slide up the incline. (i
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

F > W * sin(α)

Explanation:

The force needed for the box to start sliding up depends on the incline (α).

The external forces acting on the box would be the weight, the normal reaction and the lifting force that is applied to make it slide up.

These forces can be decomposed on their normal and tangential (to the slide plane) components.

The weight will be split into

Wn = W * cos(α) (in normal direction)

Wt = W * sin(α) (in tangential direction)

The normal reaction will be alligned with the normal axis, and will be equal to -Wn

N = -W* cos(α) (in normal direction)

To mke the box slide up, a force must be applied, that is opposite to the tangential component of the weight and at least a little larger

F > |-W * sin(α)| (in tangential direction)

A man works on a striaght road from his home to market 2.5km away dwith a speed of 5km/h.Finding the market closed, he instantly
umka21 [38]

Answer:

5.625km/h

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km

Speed, v1=5km/h

Speed, v2=7.5 km/h

We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.

Time,t=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

t_1=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5 h=0.5\times 60=30 min

1 hour =60 min

t_2=\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}hour=\frac{60}{3}=20min

Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h=\frac{2.5}{20}\times 10=2.5/2km

Therefore,

Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km

Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour

Average speed=\frac{total\;distance}{total\;time}

Average speed=\frac{3.75}{2/3}=5.625km/h

Find the sum of the vectors: 40m/s2 Northeast, 10 m/s2 Northeast
podryga [215]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since both vectors are pointing on the same direction (Northeast), the sum of them will point in that same direction, and its magnitud will be the sum of the magnitudes of each vector (40m/s2+10m/s2). This problem is just a problem in one dimension. The sum of the vectors is then 50m/s2 Northeast.
