To look for displacement, just draw a vector from your beginning stage to your last position and settle for the length of this line. So we begin by drawing a line to the north which is 30 ft, since it is north, the line is going up, then it move 5 ft to the south, so put a line going down, so we are in 25 ft, North so that would be the answer.

The initial displacement=d1= 30 feet North

d2= -5 feet south

we take d2 as negative because we treat south direction as negative

so the net displacement= d1+d2

net displacement= -5+30

net displacement=25

so the net displacement= 25 feet North.

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2$

Since $M_2 = 2m_2$ and $r = R/3$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5$

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

Imagine that you are sitting in a closed room (no windows, no doors) when, magically, it is lifted from Earth and sent accelerat

Alik [6]

Answer:

You won't feel any change and will have no way to know that you've left the earth.

Explanation:

One of the formulations of the principle says that the properties of an inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field are the same as a non-inertial(accelerated) system. The inertial system under the effect of a gravitational field occurs when you are in the room on earth, and when the room is sent accelerating through space you have the non-inertial system. Both have the same properties, so it's impossible to tell the difference if you can't look outside.

Let this oscillator have the same energy as a mass on a spring, with the same k and m, released from rest at a displacement of 5

allochka39001 [22]

There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.
