With the addition of vectors we can find that the correct answer is:

   C)   Q> P > R =  S > T

The addition of vectors must be done taking into account that they have modulus and direction. The analytical method is one of the easiest methods, the method to do it is:

  • Set a Cartesian coordinate system
  • Decompose vectors into their components in a Cartesian system
  • Perform the algebraic sums on each axis
  • Find the resultant vector using the Pythagoras' Theorem to find the modulus and trigonometry to find the direction.

In this exercise indicate that the modulus of all vectors is the same, suppose that the value of the modulus is A.

We fix a Cartesian coordinate system with the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis, we can see that we do not need to perform any decomposition, so we perform the algebraic sums

Diagram P

x-axis

         x = 2A

y-axis  

         y = 2A

The modulus of the resulting vector can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem

          P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

          P = \sqrt{4A^2 +4A^2 }= \sqrt{8}  \  A

          P = 2 √2  A

         

Diagram Q

x-axis

        x = 3A

y-axis  

        y = A

Resulting

       Q = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

       Q =\sqrt{9A^2 + A^2 }  

       Q = \sqrt{10} \ A

       

Diagram R

x- axis

       x = 0

y-axis

        y = 2 A

Resulting

       R =\sqrt{4A^2 + 0}  

       R = \sqrt{4} \ A

Diagram S

x-axis

       x = 2 A

y-axis

        y = 0

 

Resulting

       S = 2A

Diagram T

x- axis

      x = 0

y-axis  

      y = 0

Resultant T = 0

We order the diagram from highest to lowest

    Q> P> R = S> T

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is:

   C.  Q> P> R = S> T

A sprinter in a 100-m race accelerates uniformly for the first 71 m and then runs with constant velocity. The sprinter’s time fo
adoni [48]

Answer:

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of the sprinter is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the sprinter at a time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the starting point and the sprinter starts from rest, then, x0 and v0 are equal to zero:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

At t = 9.9 s, x = 71 m

71 m = 1/2 · a · (9.9 s)²

2 · 71 m / (9.9 s)² = a

a = 1.4 m/s²

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

What are the two measurements necessary for calculating average speed?
IgorC [24]
Because the average of one measurement would yield to itself, which provides nothing new to us. We need at least two for average to be purposeful.

Explain why more stars are circumpolar for observers at higher latitudes.
PIT_PIT [208]

Explanation:

When you observe the night sky you will notice that the stars are moving. They rise from eastern horizon and set in the western horizon. It happens due to rotation of Earth. When observed closely you will notice that the all the stars seem to go around the pole star. Out of all the stars there are some stars which neither set not rise, such stars are called as Circumpolar stars. This means that they are always above the horizon. If we trace the path of such stars they will appear to make complete circle around the pole star.

Also, you will notice that the altitude of pole star (separation of pole star from the horizon in degrees) will depend on the location of observe on the Earth. This happens due to Earth being spherical. So if you are on equator the pole star will be on the horizon i.e. 0° altitude. If you are at Poles, altitude of the pole star will be 90°. Technically the altitude of pole star at any place on Earth is equal to the latitude of the place.

If the altitude of pole star varies and increases as you move towards higher latitude on Earth, the distance between horizon and pole star will also increase. This will result in more stars being circumpolar.

If you are at Poles, all the stars will be circumpolar and if you are at equator no star will be circumpolar.
