The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200²  - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

For a satellite of mass mS in a circular orbit of radius rS around the Earth, determine its kinetic energy, K . Express your ans
agasfer [191]

Since it is asking you to find the kinetic energy in relation to the mass, radius, mechanical energy (total energy), and constants, you will need to setup an equation first to "find" the Mechanical Energy, so that we can then solve for the kinetic energy, as from my experience with high school physics, there is only the graviational potential energy equation and force in relation to celestial bodies.

Knowing the ME is the total energy, we add up the energies of the system. Since it is being influenced by the Earth, as per the problem stating the satellite has circular orbit around the Earth, we know there is gravitational potential. Since it is orbiting, we can assume some type of velocity. Nothing else that we need to worry about should be occuring at this level of physics, leaving you with

ME= Ug+K

from here we solve for K, as plugging in could get confusing and messy at the moment.

ME-Ug=K

now using the equations presumably given in class, if not then using this equation, we can find the Ug

Ug=(-(Gm*M)/r)     note that M is the mass of the Earth and m is the satellite

this should give us

ME-(-(GmM)/r)=K

since there is a negative being subracted, we can change that to

ME+(GmM)/r=K

I believe this should be fine, as the Earth's mass is constant, but if not, then all you need to figure left is how to get rid of the M in the equation, as the rest of the terms and constants are for sure within the requirements.

At a given time of​ day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 4​-f
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}

let the height of tree be h

as \thetawill remain same thus

tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}

\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}

h=35.2 ft

A woman falls to the ground while wearing a parachute. The air resistance on the parachute of the parachute is 500N. If the woma
scoundrel [369]

The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

  • The force of gravity, F_G, acting downward
  • The air resistance, F_D, acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

\sum F=ma

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_G - F_D

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

a=0

Combining the equations together, we get:

F_G-F_D = 0

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

F_G=F_D=500 N

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
