A car travels north at 30 m/s for one half hour. It then travels south at 40 m/s for 15 minutes. The total distance the car has traveled and its displacement are: Group of answer choices 36 km; 36 km N. 90 km; 18 km N. 90 km; 36 km N. 36 km; 36 km S. 18 km; 18 km S.

xtotal = 90km

displacement = 18km N

Explanation:

To find the total distance traveled by the car, you first calculate the distance traveled by the car when it travels to north. You use the following formula:

   (1)

x: distance

v: speed of the car = 30 m/s

t: time = one half hour

In order to calculate the distance you convert the time from hours to seconds:

Then, you replace the values of t and v in the equation (1):

    (2)

Next, you calculate the distance traveled by the car when it travels to south:

You convert the time from minutes to seconds:

Finally, you sum both distances x and x':

The total distance traveled by the car is 90km

The total displacement is the final distance of the car respect to the starting point of the motion. This is calculated by subtracting x' to x:

The total displacement of the car is 18km to the north from its starting point of motion.

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j
