At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ = 63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c

amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is: $w_{c} =m_{c} g$ and maximum tension is $T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N$

total mass and weight is :

$M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg$

$w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N$

∑ $F_{y} =ma_{y}$

$T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}$

$a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg$

$=0.645m/s^2$

maximum acceleration

$a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0$

using $y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2$

to solve for t

$t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }$

$t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s$

Calculate the force that the 4kg block exerts on the 10kg block

Kryger [21]

Acceleration=force/mass=28/(10+4)=2m/s^2

force10kg=ma=10*2
force4kg=ma=(10*2)=20
the4 kg is pushing against the 10kg block

vf=vi+at
-10=20*28/14 * t
t=30/2=15sec

i hope this can help you.

Jeremiah is conducting an investigation about the water cycle. He is given the following

Vlada [557]

The water cycle outlines the continuous water movement in liquid, solid and gaseous state between locations on the Earth's surface.

The glass jar represents the lake while the atmosphere is represented by the space above the water, and the sky is represented by the (clear) plastic wrap

Arrangement description and Processes;

The processes of the water cycle includes;

Evaporation;

Condensation

Precipitation

Sublimation

Runoff

Infiltration

The arrangement of the materials is as follows;

Place the glass jar (the lake) containing water and the lamp (the Sun) side by side, such that the lamp light shines on the water surface

Cover the glass jar by wrapping the plastic wrap (the sky) around it to prevent the escape of water vapor when the water is hot.

Switch on the lamp so that it heats the water by radiation heat transfer

Observed processes;

The processes demonstrated by the above experiment includes;

1) Evaporation: As the water in the glass jar becomes warmer, the level of the water in the jar can be observed to decrease slightly due to evaporation

2) Condensation: Fog formation, Clouds

When hotter, the water surface as seen through the clear plastic wrap becomes less clearer due to evaporation, and condensation of the vapor while floating above the water surface, similar to the clouds seen in the sky.

3. Precipitation: Rain;

The clear plastic wrap covering the top of the glass jar, prevents the movement of the vapor further away, such that the tiny condensed vapor gather together, to form big droplets under the plastic wrap that falls back into the jar, which is similar to the process of rainfall

The above processes are repeated as more water evaporates from the jar condenses on the plastic wrap and falls back into the jar, showing the process by which water is recycled from the lake into the atmosphere and back to the lake.
