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

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres
inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )

Here,  v_{1} is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and v_{2} is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, v_{1} =1.4 m/s

Now from equation continuity,

v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}.

Here, A_{1} and A_{2} are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}.

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}

v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s

Substituting these values  with the density of water is 1000 \ kg/m^3 in pressure difference formula we get.

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa

hram777 [196]

Answer:

F₃ = 122.88 N

θ₃ = 20.63°

Explanation:

First we find the components of F₁:

For x-component:

F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁

F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°

F₁ₓ = 25 N

For y-component:

F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁

F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°

F₁y = 43.3 N

Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:

F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N

F₂y = 0 N

Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:

F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N

25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N

F₃ₓ = - 115 N

for y-components:

F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N

43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N

F₃y = - 43.3 N

Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:

F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²

F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]

<u>F₃ = 122.88 N</u>

and the direction is given as:

θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)

<u>θ₃ = 20.63°</u>
