Complete question:

A dog runs 3 miles east and 4 miles west in 6 hours. What’s the dogs total distance and displacement ?

Answer:

The total distance covered by the dog is  7 miles

The displacement of the dog is 1 mile west

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the dog = 3 miles east

final position of the dog = 4 miles west

time of motion, t = 6 hours

The total distance covered by the dog is given as;

Total distance = 3 miles + 4 miles = 7 miles

The displacement of the dog is given as;

displacement = final position of the dog  - initial position of the dog

displacement =  4 miles west - 3 miles east = 1 mile west

Zepler [3.9K]

Body waves

Explanation:

A shear wave(S-wave) is a type of seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving.

  • Seismic waves are elastic waves usually generated when there is a disturbance within the earth.
  • There are two types of seismic waves:

                 Surface waves

                  Body waves

  • Body waves travel within the earth and they cause disturbances there. P and S waves are the two types of body waves that we have.
  • Surface waves travels on the earth surface. They are the love and rayleigh waves. They are the ones that cause destruction on the earth surface during an earthquake.

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (2.00 m/s)t] i + [3.0 m − (1.00 m/s^2)t^2] j, where quantities are in SI units. W
lidiya [134]

Answer: 1 m/s

Explanation:

We have an object whose position r is given by a vector, where the components X and Y are identified by the unit vectors i and j (where each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one):

r=[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + [3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j

On the other hand, velocity is defined as the variation of the position in time:

V=\frac{dr}{dt}

This means we have to derive r:

\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + \frac{d}{dt}[3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j

\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} t) j This is the velocity vector

And when t=2s the velocity vector is:

\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} (2 s)) j

\frac{dr}{dt}=2 m/s i - 1m/s j This is the velocity vector at 2 seconds

However, the solution is not complete yet, we have to find the module of this velocity vector, which is the speed S:

S=\sqrt {-1 m/s j + 2 m/s i}

S=\sqrt {1 m/s}

Finally:

S=1 m/s This is the speed of the object at 2 seconds

A snowball is melting at a rate of 324π mm3/s. At what rate is the radius decreasing when the volume of the snowball is 972π mm3
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The radius is decreasing at 4 mm/s

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3*\pi *r^3   So, when the volume is 972π mm^3 the radius r is:

r = 9mm

Now, the change rate is given by the derivative:

dV/dt = 4/3*\pi *3*r^2*dr/dt  

Where: dV/dt = -324π mm^2/s

            r = 9mm

Solving for dr/dt:

dr/dt = -4mm/s

Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a
Naily [24]

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0

v = -4.76 m/s

When a resistor with resistance R is connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical powe
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

4.41 W

Explanation:

P = IV, V = IR

P = V² / R

Given that P = 0.0625 when V = 1.50:

0.0625 = (1.50)² / R

R = 36

So the resistor is 36Ω.

When the voltage is 12.6, the power consumption is:

P = (12.6)² / 36

P = 4.41

So the power consumption is 4.41 W.
