A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the locomotive moved 12.0 m [E] in 10.0 s. a. Determine the distance travelled by the locomotive. Show your work.
b. Determine the displacement of the locomotive. Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The distance travelled by the the locomotive is 30 meters, b) The final displacement of the locomotive is 6 meters westwards.

Explanation:

a) The distance travelled is the sum of magnitudes of distances covered by the train during its motion. That is to say:

[tex]s_{T} = 18\,m + 12\,m[/tex]

[tex]s_{T} = 30\,m[/tex]

The distance travelled by the the locomotive is 30 meters.

b) The displacement is the vectorial distance of the train with respect to a point of reference, since west and east are antiparallel to each other, calculations can be simplified to a scalar form. Let suppose that movement to the east is positive. The calculations are presented below:

[tex]s_{P} = -18\,m +12\,m[/tex]

[tex]s_{P} = -6\,m[/tex]

The final displacement of the locomotive is 6 meters westwards.

Answer 2

Answer:

the dispalcement is 6m and distance travelled is 30m

what are laws of newton

Answers

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

Explanation:

Answer:

Newton's Law of Motion

1- Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion -­ in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.

2- Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

3- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go down in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? I am at elevation 20000 I think.

Answers

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out

A football player kicks a ball at a 30o angle from the ground with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. What is the final velocity of the ball when it hits the ground?

Answers

Given that,

Angle = 30°

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

We need to calculate the time of flight

Using formula of time of flight

[tex]T=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}[/tex]

Where, u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

[tex]T=\dfrac{2\times15\sin30}{9.8}[/tex]

[tex]T=1.5\ sec[/tex]

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation of motion

[tex]v=u+gt[/tex]

[tex]v=15+9.8\times1.5[/tex]

[tex]v=29.7\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 29.7 m/s.

WILL GIVE BRANLIET PLS HELP!!!!! AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK!!!!! I REALLY COULD USE THE HELP!!! SHARE YO SMARTNESSS!!! Upon using Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment to obtain measurements, the following data were obtained. Use these data to determine the wavelength of light being used to create the interference pattern. Do this using three different methods. The angle to the eighth maximum is 1.12°. The distance from the slits to the screen is 302.0 cm. The distance from the central maximum to the fifth minimum is 3.33 cm. The distance between the slits is 0.000250 m.

Answers

Answer:

λ = 6,108 10⁻⁷ m = 610.8 nm

λ = 5.513 10⁻⁷ m = 551.3 nm

Explanation:

Young's double slit experiment results in a pattern consisting of maxima and minima of interference, the maximums are described by the expression

          d sin θ = m λ

where d of the distance between the two slits, θ is the angle from the central maximum to the given interference line, λ the wavelength of the radiation and an integer indicating the order of interference

In this exercise they give us several conditions

The first

the angle is 1.12º to the maximum m = 8

the distance between the slits d = 0.000250 m

of the initial equation

           λ = d sin θ / m

           λ = 0.000250 sin 1.12 / 8

           λ = 6,108 10⁻⁷ m = 610.8 nm

The second

the distance from the slits to the screen is L = 302.0 cm = 3.020 m

the distance from the central maximum is y = 3.33 cm = 0.0333 m for interference m = 5

in this case we use that the angle in the experiment is small

      tan θ = y / L

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

we substitute

       sin θ = y / L

       d y / L = m λ

       λ = d y / L m

 

we calculate

       λ = 0.000250 0.0333 / (3,020 5)

       λ = 5.513 10⁻⁷ m = 551.3 nm

Pluto was first observed in 1930, and its largest moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978. A few years after Charon’s discovery, astronomers were able to observe a series of eclipses as Pluto and Charon passed in front of one another. By studying how the brightness of Pluto and Charon changed as they eclipsed each other, astronomers were able to measure the masses and radii of both Pluto and its moon. What did these measurements imply about the average densities of Pluto and Charon?

Answers

Answer:

The average densities of both matches the expected density for objects made from water ice.

Explanation:

Charon's density is 1.2 to 1.3 g / cm3, while Pluto's density is 1.8 to 2.1 g / cm3. This was discovered in many researches and measurements of these two celestial bodies, with the objective of understanding them and promoting efficient scientific knowledge.

With the measurements of the average densities between pluto and Charon it was possible to conclude several statements about them. Firstly, it is possible to see that the two formed independently and at different times, in addition to indicating the existence of few rocks in charon, which is consistent with the average density of objects made mostly of water ice.

A water pipe tapers down from an initial radius of R1 = 0.2 m to a final radius of R2 = 0.09 m. The water flows at a velocity v1 = 0.87 m/s in the larger section of pipe. What is the volume flow rate of the water?

Answers

Answer:

0.109  m/s

Explanation:

The calculation of the volume flow rate of the water is shown below:-

Av = Velocity ([tex]\pi[/tex])(Radius)^2

= 0.87([tex]\pi[/tex])(0.2)^2

= 0.135258 m^3 / sec

= 0.109371429 m/s

or

= 0.109

So, for calculating the volume flow rate of the water we simply applied the above formula i.e by multiplying the velocity with pi and squaring of radius so that the volume could come

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is moving at 4.4 m/s right before it hits the ground. The egg comes to a stop in 0.072 seconds.

What is the magnitude of force that the ground exerted on the egg?

0.66 N

9.2 N

13 N

180 N

Answer is 9.2 N

Answers

Answer: Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground is 9.2N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of egg (m) = 150g = 0.15kg

Height(h) from which egg is dropped = 3m

velocity of egg before hitting the ground (u) = 4.4m/s

Final velocity of egg (V) = 0

Time taken (t) = 0.072s

Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground can be found by applying Newton's 2nd law:

Momentum = mass × velocity

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass × change in Velocity with time ;

That is

F = m * ΔV / t

Inputting our values

F = 0.15 * (4.4 - 0) / 0.072

F = 0.15 × (4.4 / 0.072)

F = 0.15 × 61.11

F = 9.16N

F = 9.2N

Answer:

9.2 N

help fast I want the correct answer please does spectral diffusion cause light to scatter ​

Answers

Answer: No

Explanation:

Whenever light travelling on a straight line encounters obstruction, it diffracts and scatter.

Scattering of light occurs when light passes through a rough path or a diffused surface.

But in case of spectral diffusion, which is the fluctuation in spectroscopy as a result of time dependent frequency shifts.

Spectral diffusion occurs in particular molecules initiated by excessive excitation energy.

Fluctuation in frequency does not mean diffraction of light or particles

Therefore, spectral diffusion does not cause light to scatter.

An apple falls out of a tree from a height of 2.3 m What is the impact speed of the apple?

Answers

Answer:

6.72 m/s

Explanation:

recall that the equations of motion may be expressed as

v² = u² + 2as

where,

v = final velocity,

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s because it is stationary before it starts falling

a = acceleration (in this case because it is falling, it is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²)

s = distance traveled = 2.3m

in our case, if we neglect air resistance, then we simply substitute the known values above into the equation of motion.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(9.81)(2.3)

v² = 45.126

v = √45.126

v = 6.72 m/s

shes right it is 6.71 m/s

A 500 kg satellite experiences a gravitational force of 3000 N, while moving in a circular orbit around the earth. Determine the speed of the satellite.

Answers

Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of  satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

b)  An arrow of magnitude 6.50 N points down the slope of the hill.    

c)  An arrow of magnitude 78.5 N points down the slope of the hill.

d)  An arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

Answer:

d)  An arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

Explanation:

The total mass of the two riders, m = 87.0 kg

The free body diagrams of the situation described are drawn and contained in the files attached to this solution.

Note that the weight of the toboggan will act directly downwards.

Therefore, the weight of the toboggan, W = mg

W = 87 * 9.8

W = 852.6 N

Since the arrow representing the weight of the toboggan points straight down, the correct answer is that an arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

Phase = 13π/15

if x = 16

Phase = 16π/15

Phase difference
