nata0808 [166]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>

A 4.0 kg mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 950 N/m. It oscillates with an amplitude of 0.12 m. What is the m
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

velocity = 2.62m/s

Explanation:

950= (4 x A)/0.12

950 x 0.12 = 4 x A

114 = 4 x A

A = 114/4

A = 28.5m/s²

  • U²=2as
  • U² = 2 x 28.5 x 0.12
  • U² = 6.84
  • U = √6.84
  • U = 2.62m/s

Bess [88]

Find Displacement and Distance

displacement ...

north is 700+400+100 =1200m n

south=1200m

1200-1200=0


east is 300+300=600m

west is 600m

600-600=0

back at dtart. displ zero


distance is 700+ 300m + 400 m + 600m + 1200m + 300m + 100m  = 3600m

If a young protostar with a disk is rotating and shrinking. how much faster is it rotating after its size has decreased by a fac
maks197457 [2]
In this system we have the conservation of angular momentum: L₁ = L₂
We can write L = m·r²·ω

Therefore, we will have:
m₁ · r₁² · ω₁ = m₂ · r₂² · ω₂

The mass stays constant, therefore it cancels out, and we can solve for ω<span>₂:
</span>ω₂ =  (r₁/ r₂)² · ω<span>₁
     
Since we know that r</span>₁ = 4r<span>₂, we get:
</span>ω₂ =  (4)² · ω<span>₁
     = 16 </span>· ω<span>₁

Hence, the protostar will be rotating 16 </span><span>times faster.</span>
