A pizza delivery must make three stops on her route. She will first leave the restaurant and travel 4km due north to the first h

ouse. The next house is 6km away at 45 south of west according to her map. The final stop is 5km away at 60 north of west. What is her displacement from the restaurant to the final stop

5.3 km

This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors j,\frac{-i-j}{2} and in the directions North,  South of West, and  North of West respectively.

So Total displacement vector = The Sum of individual displacement vectors.

Displacement vector = -4.25i + 3.165j

The magnitude of Displacement =| -4.25i + 3.165j |  = 5.3km

∴ Total displacement = 5.3km

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that have a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions.  It measures the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

The final location xf of a point relative to its beginning position xi, or a relative position (derived from the motion), is another way to express a displacement. The difference between the final and initial coordinates can be used to define the equivalent displacement vector.

A disk shaped grindstone of mass 3.0 kg and radius 8 cm is spinning at 600 rpm. After the power is shut off the frictional torqu
seropon [69]

Answer:

\theta=50\ revolution

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the grindstone, m = 3 kg

Radius of the grindstone, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Initial speed of the grindstone, \omega_i=600\ rpm=62.83\ rad/s

Finally it shuts off, \omega_f=0

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let \alpha is the angular acceleration of the grindstone. Using the formula of rotational kinematics as :

\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\alpha =\dfrac{0-62.83}{10}

\alpha =-6.283\ rad/s^2

Let \theta is the number of revolutions of the grindstone after the power is shut off. Now using the third equation of rotational kinematics as :

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta

\theta=\dfrac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha }

\theta=\dfrac{-62.83^2}{2\times -6.283}

\theta=314.15\ radian

\theta=49.99\ revolution

or

\theta=50\ revolution

So, the number of revolutions of the grindstone after the power is shut off is 50.

The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 1% per day. A s
Bumek [7]

Answer:

2,38kg

Explanation:

Mass in function of time can be found by the formula: m_{(t)} =m_{0} e^{-kt}, where m_{0} is the initial mass, t is the time and k is a constant.

Given that a sample decay 1% per day, that means that after first day you have 99% of mass.

m_{(1)} =m_{0} e^{-k(1)}, but m_{(1)}=\frac{99m_{0} }{100}, so we have \frac{99m_{0} }{100}=m_{0}e^{-k}, then k=-ln(\frac{99}{100})=0.01

Now using k found we must to find m_{(5)}.

m_{(5)}=m_{0}e^{-(0.01)5}=2.5kge^{-0.05} =2.5x0.951=2.38kg

1) The object slows down due to kinetic friction.
2) The coefficient of kinetic friction is higher on a carpet than on the bare floor, therefore the object would slow down quicker on the carpet
