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

The sense of hearing is to the ________ lobes as the sense of touch is to the ________lobes. (2 points)
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The sense of hearing is to the _temporal_______ lobes as the sense of touch is to the __parietal______lobes.

See the answer below

Explanation:

The brain has 4 lobes: temporal, parietal, occipital and frontal. The parietal lobe is between the frontal and occipital, processing sensory information received, including the sense of touch. The temporal lobe, found on each side of the brain, where the ears are, is the processing of memories and their integration with senses, including the ear.

Suppose a soccer ball is kicked from the ground at an angle 20.0º above the horizontal at 8.00 m/s. The y-velocity is determined
julia-pushkina [17]

initial speed of the ball by which it is kicked is 8 m/s

now the angle at which it is kicked is 20 degree

here we will have

v_y = v sin20

v_y = 8 sin20 = 2.74 m/s

now we will have

\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

so if the ball again land on the ground at same level then we have

\Delta y = 0

0 = 2.74 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8) t^2

0 = 2.74 - 4.9 t

t = 0.56 s

so total time will be 0.56 s

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R
