Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from home to school?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school.  The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.

Answer 2

You that just traveled from home to school has greater displacement than the astronaut.

Displacement is defined as the change in the position of an object.

An astronaut who completed an orbit of the earth, has moved from an initial position x₁ and returned to the same position x₁ because Earth is assumed to be spherical. To complete an orbit of the Earth, the astronaut must return to his initial position since he will move round the Earth.

The displacement of the astronaut is zero because x₁ - x₁ = 0

For you that have just traveled from home to school, BUT haven't returned, your displacement is greater,.

Let's say the distance from your home to school = y

Your initial position at your home = 0

your displacement = y - 0 = y

Thus, you that just traveled from home to school has greater displacement than the astronaut.

26.64 mL. What is the density of the metal?
Answer in units of g/cm3

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The trick is in finding the volume.

Final Volume = 26.64

Initial Volume=20.92                   Subtract

do humans have the right to alter and colonize unique environments on another planet? explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

We may have people making habitats on asteroids ... I know that humans will colonize the solar system and one day go beyond. Richard Gott has estimated that the human race could survive for another 7.8 million years, but it is not likely to ever colonize other planets.

To be sure there are many daunting challenges facing prospective space colonists such as protection from exposure to deadly radiation levels, the impact on the human body while living and working in cramped, low-gravity environments for extended periods of time and the psychological toll of isolation and confinement.

According to me we can't colonize other planets which is against humanity

A positively charged glass rod is bought close to a suspended metal needle. What
can we say about the charge on the needle given that the needle is
a) attracted ?
b) repelled ?

Answers

Answer:

attracted

Explanation:

opposite charges attract each other when the rub against each other

Answer:

This depends because the electrostatic force obeys the principle that states that force between both of the particles does not get affected by the charges of the other thus if the needle is getting attracted it possess negative charges( the opposite charge) .And if they repel it means they have the same charges ( positive charges).

Question 3 A woman sitting in a stationary car notices a man cycling past her at 40 km/hr. Five seconds after he passes her car, she starts following after him. What is the shortest possible distance in which she will catch up to the cyclist if he maintains hrs speep and she obeys the speed limit of 70 km/hr? The car has a maximum acceleration

Answers

The shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.

The given parameters:

speed of the man, v₁ = 40 km/hr

speed of the woman, v₂ = 70 km/hr

time when the woman started moving, t₁ = 5 seconds

To find:

the shortest distance when she catches up with the man

Convert the given speed in km/h to m/s

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s40 km/h = 40/3.6 = 11.11 m/s70 km/h = 70/3.6 = 19.44 m/s

Calculate the distance moved by the man before she started following him.

Distance moved by the man = speed x time

                                                = 11.11 m/s  x  5 s

                                                = 55.55 m

Let the time the woman catches up with the man = t

Apply the following simple principle to calculate the time.

The man is moving forward and the woman is moving forward to close the gap between them, thus both speeds are working against each other.

[tex](v_2-v_1)t = 55.55 \ m[/tex]

the difference in the speed is because they are working against each other.

[tex](19.44 - 11.11)t = 55.55\\\\8.33t = 55.55\\\\t = \frac{55.55}{8.33} \\\\t = 6.67 \ s[/tex]

The time when the woman catches up with the man = 6.67 s

The shortest distance at which the woman catches up with the man is calculated as;

Shortest distance = woman's speed x time when she catches up

                               = 19.44 m/s    x  6.67 s

                               = 129.7 m

Thus, the shortest possible distance in which she catches up with the man is 129.7 m.

a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 3.1 m/s. a. After 0.24 seconds what is the ball's velocity and b. what is it's acceleration?

Answers

a. The ball's velocity after 0.24 s is 0.75 m/s

b. The acceleration of the ball is given by the acceleration due to gravity

a. The ball's velocity can be calculated with the following equation:

[tex] v_{f} = v_{0} - gt [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{f} [/tex]: is the final speed =?

[tex]v_{0}[/tex]: is the initial speed = 3.1 m/s

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t: is the time = 0.24 s

The minus sign is because the acceleration is in the opposite direction (downward) of the motion of the ball (upward).

The final speed is:

[tex] v_{f} = v_{0} - gt = 3.1 m/s - 9.81 m/s^{2}*0.24 s = 0.75 m/s [/tex]

Hence, the ball's velocity after 0.24 s is 0.75 m/s.

b. The acceleration of the ball is given by the acceleration due to gravity because the ball is thrown straight up (the motion of the ball is in the y-direction). The velocity of the ball in the x-direction is zero so the acceleration in the same direction is also zero.

(Assume that block leaves the spring at at the spring's equilibrium position, marked x=0 in the figure.
