A car drives 90 meters north, then turns around and drives 120 meters south. What was its displacement and distance?

Physics

Answer:

displacement= 30 m towards south, distance= 210m

Explanation:

Distance (scalar quantity) how much ground an object has covered.

Displacement (vector quantity) refers to how far out of place an object is it is the object's overall change in position.

Basically meaning for displacement the directions will be very key

D for Displacement

D= D1+D2

D=  120 (S) + 90 m (N)

Must be in same direction

D= 120 (S) + (-90 m) (S)

D= 30 m (S)

and for distance you are simply just adding how much distance they have covered

so d= d1+d2

d= 90m + 120m

d= 210m

Two 2.5 kg physical science textbooks on a bookshelf are 0.14 m apart. What is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction bet
finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's laws of gravitation force of attraction is given by

F = GMm/R²

G = 6.67 X 10⁻¹¹

,M = 2.5 Kg ,

m = 2.5 Kg ,

R = .14 m

=

F = 6.67 X 10⁻¹¹ X 2.5 X 2.5 / 0.14²

= 2126.9 X 10 ⁻¹¹ N.

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. A 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end, whe
Elden [556K]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
