a. Aster is 56.3 m at 3.16° north-east from her initial position

b. She has to head to 183.16° or 86.84° south of west to return to her initial position

<h3>a. How to calculate how far Aster's final position from her initial position?</h3>

Let Aster's initial position be represented by the vector r = 0i + 0j

Since she then walks walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, let this displacement be represented by the vector u = (70sin37°)i + (70cos37°)j

=  (70 0.6018)i + (70 0.7986)j

= 42.13i + 55.9j

Also, she then walks  82 m in the direction 20° south of east. Let this displacement be represented by the vector v = (82sin20°)i - (82cos20°)j

= -(82 0.3420)i + (82 0.9397)j

= 28.05i - 77.05j

Finally, she walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north. Let this displacement be represented by the vector, w = -(28sin30°)i + (28cos30°)j = -(28 0.5)i + (28 0.8660)j

= -14i + 24.25j m

So, the total displacement is R = r + u + v + w

= 42.13i + 55.9j + 28.05i + (-77.05)j +  (-14)i + 24.25j m

= 56.18i + 3.1j

So, how far she walks is the magnitude of R. The magnitude of a vector Z = xi + yj is Z = √(x² + y²)

So, the magnitude of R = √((56.18)² + (3.1)²)

= √(3156.19 + 9.61)

= √3165.8

= 56.3 m

<h3>Her direction from final position to initial position</h3>

The direction of a vector Z = xi + yj is given by Ф = tan⁻¹ (y/x)

So, the direction of R is Ф' = tan⁻¹ (3.1/56.18)

= tan⁻¹ (0.0552)

= 3.16°

So, Aster is 56.3 m at 3.16° north-east from her initial position

<h3>b. What direction would she has to head to return to her initial position?​</h3>

To return to her original position, the displacement vector is V = r - R

= 0i + 0j - (56.18i + 3.1j)

= -56.18i - 3.1j

So, the direction of V is Ф" = tan⁻¹ (-3.1/-56.18)

= tan⁻¹ (0.0552)

= 3.16°

Since this is in the third quadrant, we have that the direction she must go to return to her original position is α = 180° + 3.16°

= 183.16°

or 90° - 3.16°

= 86.84° south of west

So, she has to head to 183.16° or 86.84° south of west to return to her initial position

What connects the upper motor neurons to lower motor neurons?
skad [1K]

Answer:

The upper motor neurons synapse in the spinal cord connect with anterior horn cells of lower motor neurons, usually via interneurons. The anterior horn cells are the cell bodies of the lower motor neurons and are located in the grey matter of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits, enabling communication between the upper motor neurons, sensory or motor neurons located in the brain and spinal cord and they send signals to lower motor neurons or central nervous system (CNS) in the brain stem and spinal cord . When they get a signal from the upper motor neurons, they send another signal to your muscles to make them contract. They play vital roles in reflexes, neuronal oscillations, and neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.

Renshaw cells are among the very first identified interneurons. They are excited by the axon collaterals of the motor neurons. In addition, Renshaw cells make inhibitory connections to several groups of motor neurons.

2. A 56N force is exerted on an 8kg object. What is the object's acceleration?
White raven [17]

acceleration = 7 m/s²

Explanation:

To determine the object's acceleration we use the following formula:

force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

acceleration (m/s²) = force (N) / mass (kg)

acceleration = 56 N / 8 kg

acceleration = 7 m/s²

A 6 kg weight is lifted off the ground to a height that gives it 70.56 j of gravitational potential energy. what is its height?
Marina CMI [18]
GPE= 70.56 J -------------------> GPE= mgh-------------> X= height
70.56 = 6(kg) * 9.8(m/s/s) * X
70.56 = 58.8X
70.56/58.8= 58.8X/58.8
X= 1.2
The height is 1.2 feet or meters (whatever unit you are using in this problem)
