Answer: Displacement is: 50 m

Explanation:

Westkost [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

A family took a trip in a car traveling East from Greensboro to Wilmington, NC. Use the Graph to answer the questions below.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

   Therefore, average speed of the trip = \frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}

    From the graph attached,

   Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

                                           = 90 meters

   Total time taken = 60 seconds

    Average speed = \frac{90}{60}

                               = 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

    Therefore, average velocity = \frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}

                                                   = \frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}

                                                   = \frac{90-0}{60-0}

                                                   = 1.5 meter per second

car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of a. The car
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

0.572

Explanation:

First examine the force of friction at the slipping point where Ff = µsFN = µsmg.

the mass of the car is unknown,

The only force on the car that is not completely in the vertical direction is friction, so let us consider the sums of forces in the tangential and centerward directions.

First the tangential direction

∑Ft =Fft =mat

And then in the centerward direction ∑Fc =Ffc =mac =mv²t/r

Going back to our constant acceleration equations we see that v²t = v²ti +2at∆x = 2at πr/2

So going backwards and plugging in Ffc =m2atπr/ 2r =πmat

Ff = √(F2ft +F2fc)= matp √(1+π²)

µs = Ff /mg = at /g √(1+π²)=

1.70m/s/2 9.80 m/s² x√(1+π²)= 0.572

A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having
Mrac [35]

Answer:

 F_Balance = 46.6 N    ,m' = 4,755 kg

Explanation:

In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in

          ∑ F = 0

          Fe –W + F_Balance = 0

         F_Balance = - Fe + W

           

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂

The weight is

          W = mg

Let's replace

           F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C

          q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C

          r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m

Let's calculate

         F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹  8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²

         F_Balance = 49 - 2,397

         F_Balance = 46.6 N

This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.

Mass reading is

          m' = F_Balance / g

          m' = 46.6 /9.8

          m' = 4,755 kg
