Answer: Trajectory=51m

Displacement=41m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that <u>movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time.</u> So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the path followed by the body (is a scalar magnitude).  

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector magnitude).  

According to this, in the description of the object placed at x= -7m on a number line and moving some 12m to the left and then to the right, stopping at x=34m; we are talking about the path followed by the object, hence its <u>trajectory</u>. So, 51 m is its trajectory.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the object (x=-7m) to its final position (x=+34m).

Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for this object is 41m.

A professor sits at rest on a stool that can rotate without friction. The rotational inertia of the professor-stool system is 4.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of the angular momentum.

L=mvR

I\omega=mvR

Now the Inertia is I(professor_stool) plus mR², that is the momentum inertia of a hoop about central axis.

So we will have:

(I_{proffesor - stool}+mR^{2})\omega=mvR

Now, we just need to solve it for ω.

\omega=\frac{mvR}{I_{proffesor-stool}+mR^{2}}

\omega=\frac{1.5*2.7*0.4}{4.1+1.5*0.4^{2}}      

\omega=0.37 [rad/s]  

I hope it helps you!

What is a likely consequence of preventing prescribed burns to forest ecosystems?
liraira [26]

The forest ecosystem will regain back its natural ecology compared to burning of the forest and other illegal activities done to the forest. And also, some of the animals living in that forest will live and those that are endangered will not be threatened.

A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that ha
Anni [7]

Answer:

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.

From top of the first hill to the bottom

m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss} (1)

From the bottom to the top of the second hill

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss} (2)

Where:

m - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.

v_{1} - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.

g - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

h_{1} - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

W_{1, loss} - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.

v_{2} - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.

h_{2} - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

W_{2, loss} - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.

By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:

m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss} (3)

Where W_{loss} is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.

If we know that m = 175\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, h_{1} = 18\,m, h_{2} = 8\,m and v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}, then the work done by non-conservative force is:

W_{loss} = m\cdot\left[ g\cdot \left(h_{1}-h_{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2} \right]

W_{loss} = 6574.75\,J

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.
