Physics

Explanation:

It is given that, a cross-country skier moves 32 meters westward, then 54  meters eastward, and finally 68 meters westward.

The attached figure shows the whole scenario. He starts walking 32 m west and finally it walks 68 m west.

Let west is negative and east is positive.

Displacement = final position - initial position

= -68 - (-32)

= -36 m

The magnitude of displacement is equal to 30 m westwards.

One reason you should avoid taking risks as a driver is:
stepladder [879]
The answer is A. 

All risks have the potential to cause death as a driver. You can harm yourself, others, or both when you take risks on the road. No one can predict what could happen next and when you drive, you do not only need to consider what you would do. You have to understand that behavior of other drivers and pedestrians is unpredictable.

A box weighing 46 newtons rests on an incline that makes an angle of 25° with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the compo
saul85 [17]

The magnitude of the component of the box’s weight perpendicular to the incline can be olve using the formula:

F = wcos(a)

Where F is the box’s weight perpendicular to the incline

W is the weight of the box

A is the angle of the incline

F = (46)cos(25)

F = 42 N

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object_____ the gain in momentum of another object.
densk [106]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object  is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)
 K = <span> 525</span> J

 The kinetic energy of the system is<span> <span>525 </span></span>J
