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

Physics

Rufina [12.5K]2 years ago
3 0

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

Bingel [31]

Answer:

A., B., and C.

Explanation:

An Ohmic material is a material that obeys Ohm's Law, V = IR.

In contrast, a non-Ohmic material is one that does not obey Ohm's law.

Ohm's law states that the voltage across an electrical object is proportional to the current flowing through it, with the constant of proportionality being Resistance, R (in Ohm's).

The only Non-Ohmic material is the semiconductor, as semiconductors do not obey Ohm's law.

Vector A = 50 m,<br> 20°. Vector -3A would be equal to
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Many familiar physical quantities can be specified completely by giving a single number and the appropriate unit. For example, “a class period lasts 50 min” or “the gas tank in my car holds 65 L” or “the distance between two posts is 100 m.” A physical quantity that can be specified completely in this manner is called a scalar quantity. Scalar is a synonym of “number.” Time, mass, distance, length, volume, temperature, and energy are examples of scalar quantities.

A hypothetical planet has a mass of 1.66 times that of Earth, but the same radius. What is gravitiy near its surface?
baherus [9]

Answer: 16.22 m/s^2

Explanation: g= GM/r^2 G= (6.67x 10^-11) M= 1.66(6x 10^24) r=(6400x 10^3) so

((6.67x10^-11)(1.66x 6x 10^24))/ (6400x10^3)^2 = 16.22 m/s^2

A car traveling at 28 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Maru [420]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (zero) minus (28 m/s) = -28 m/s

Acceleration = (-28 m/s) / (13 sec)

Acceleration = -2.15 m/s²
