<u>Answer:</u>

   Displacement = 100 meter

   Distance covered = 180 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

   Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

  Carl runs 100 m West, Displacement = -100 i

  He then runs 60 m North, Displacement = 60 j

   He then runs 20 m East, Displacement = 20 i

  Total displacement of Carl's running = -100 i + 60 j + 20 i = (-80 i + 60 j) m (Vector)

  Magnitude of displacement =  \sqrt{(-80)^2+60^2} =100 m

  Distance traveled by Carl = 100 + 60 + 20 = 180 m ( Scalar)

A 200 kg man is stuck, motionless, in the middle of a frictionless ice pond. Because it's cold, he's wearing a coat. He wants to
Cerrena [4.2K]

The speed of the man when he throws the coat is 1 m/s.

<h3>Conversion of linear momentum</h3>

The speed of the man can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₁ = (m₂v₂)/m₁

v₁ = (50 x 4)/200

v₁ = 1 m/s

Thus, the speed of the man when he throws the coat is 1 m/s.

In this lab you will use a cart and a track to explore Newton's second law of motion. You will vary two different variables and
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Newtons II law: </em>

<em>     </em>It  is defined as<em> "the net force acting on the object is a product of mass and acceleration of the body"</em> . Also it defines that the <em>"acceleration of an object is dependent on net force and mass of the body".</em>

Let us assume that,a string is attached to the cart, which passes over a pulley along the track. At another end of the string a weight is attached which hangs over the pulley. The hanging weight provides tension in the spring, and it helps in accelerating the cart. We assume that the string is massless and no friction between pulley and the string.

Whenever the hanging weight moves downwards, the cart will accelerate to right side.

<em>For the hanging weight/mass</em>

When hanging weight of mass is m₁ and accelerate due to gravitational force g.

           Therefore we can write F = m₁ .g

and the tension acts in upward direction T (negetive)

        Now, Fnet = m₁ .g - T

                          = m₁.a

So From Newtons II law<em> F =  m.a</em>

In a game of pool, why will the balls eventually stop after a collision?
Aneli [31]

As a ball rolls ... even if there were no air resistance ... the ball
has to push down and climb over every one of those little fibers
that stick up from the felt fabric on the table.  As it does that, each
little fiber brushes against the ball, and robs a tiny tiny bit of its
kinetic energy.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives
denpristay [2]
Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.
