Answer:

Take north as y and west as -x.

distance=√(x^2+y^2)

displacement= tan theta(tan^-1) (y/x)

answers should be, (9.85m, 66.04°)

In at least 150 words, discuss how Chang's use of personification, metaphor, or connotation express one his themes in "Garden of

Kay [80]

Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by ΔP = 2.9 × 10−5 cos (6.20x − 3 000

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters.

Explanation:

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by :

$\Delta P=2.9\times 10^{-5}\ cos(6.2x-3000t)$ ..............(1)

The general equation is given by :

$\Delat P=P_o\ cos(kx-\omega t)$ ...........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) :

$k=6.2$

Since, $k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=6.2$

$\lambda=1.01\ m$

So, the wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

What are 2 ways electromagnets are used

lisabon 2012 [21]

Electromagnets are used for various purposes but I fathom in this instance, the questioner is asking about how electromagnetics can be used to attraction or repulsion.
Example, electromagnets are used for attraction in cranes which attach them to containers in order to lift them.
Meanwhile, Maglev trains use electromagnets repulsive properties.

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

(b) m1 = 915kg;

m2 = 605kg;

m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

$F_{pull}=m_{T}.a$

$m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}$

$m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}$

$m_{T}=2384.5$

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

For $m_{1}$ :

The only force acting On the $m_{1}$ box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

$m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}$

$m_{1}$ = 915kg

For $m_{2}$ :

There are two forces acting on $m_{2}$ : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

$m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}$
