The total displacement of the person walking from point A to point B is 300 yards.

As shown in the figure we can conclude that the required method to calculate the total displacement is the Pythagoras theorem.

<h3>Pythagoras theorem in brief :</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square that represents the hypotenuse, or side of a right triangle that faces the right angle, is equal to the total of the squares on the triangle's legs.(or, in popular algebraic notation, a^2 + b^2 = c^2).

<h3>Calculation: </h3>

Let,

a = 500

b=  300

Hence by using Pythagoras' theorem

Total displacement of the person = \sqrt{500^{2}  + 300^{2} } = \sqrt{900000} = 300

Thus the total displacement of the person from starting point is 300 yards.

Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the volume of water ΔV that flows across the exit of the pipe in 1.00 s . In
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

discharge rate (Q) = 0.2005 m^{3} / s

Explanation:

if you read the question you would see that some requirements are missing, by using search engines, you can get the complete question as stated below:

Water flows steadily from an open tank as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The elevation of point 1 is 10.0m , and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m . The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 4.80x10-2m ; at point 3, where the water is discharged, it is 1.60x10-2m. The cross-sectional area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Part A Assuming that Bernoulli's equation applies, compute the volume of water DeltaV that flows across the exit of the pipe in 1.00 s . In other words, find the discharge rate \Delta V/Delta t. Express your answer numerically in cubic meters per second.

solution:

time = 1 s

elevation of point 1 (z1) = 10 m

elevation of point 2 (z2) = 2 m

elevation of point 3 (z3) = 2 m

cross section area of point 2 = 4.8 x 10^{2} m

cross section area of point 3 = 1.6 x 10^{2} m

g

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the discharge rate at point 3 which is the exit pipe.

discharge rate (Q) = A3 x V3

where A3 is the cross sectional area at point 3 and V3 is the velocity of the fluid and can be gotten by applying Bernoulli's equation below

\frac{P1}{ρg} +  \frac{V1^{2} }{2g} + Z1 =  \frac{P3}{ρg} + \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

pressure at point 1 (P1) is the same as pressure at point 3 (P3), and at point 1, the velocity (V1) = 0. therefore the equation now becomes

\frac{P1}{ρg} + Z1 =  \frac{P1}{ρg} + \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

Z1 = \frac{V3^{2} }{2g} + Z3

V3 = \sqrt{2g(Z1-Z3)}

V3 = \sqrt{2 x 9.8 x (10 - 3)}

V3 = 12.53 m/s

discharge rate (Q) = A3 x V3 = 1.6 x 10^{-2} x 12.53

discharge rate (Q) = 0.2005 m^{3} / s

Determine the angular velocity of the merry-go-round if a jumps off horizontally in the −n direction with a speed of 2 m/s , mea
lapo4ka [179]

by angular momentum conservation we will have

angular momentum of child + angular momentum of merry go round = 0

angular momentum of child = mvR

m = mass of child

R = radius of child

v = speed = 2 m/s

now let's say moment of inertia of merry go round is I

so we will have

m*2*R + Iw = 0

w = -\frac{2mR}{I}

so merry go round will turn in opposite direction with above speed

Roger drives his car at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. How far can he travel in 2 hrs. and 30 minutes?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

200 km/hr

Explanation:

Since he goes 80km per hour, multiply this by 2.5 or two and a half hours.

80 x 2.5 = 200 km/hr.
