Answer:

Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° north of west.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y direction and east represent positive x direction. Unit vector along x direction is represented by i and vector along unit vector along y direction is represented by j

Initial displacement = 17 miles north = 17 j miles

Final displacement = 24 miles at an angle of 40° west of north = 24 miles at an angle of 130° to positive x -axis

= (24 cos 130 i + 24 sin 130 j )

= (-15.43 i + 18.36 j ) miles

Total displacement = 17 j + (-15.43 i + 18.36 j) = -15.43 i + 35.36 j

Magnitude of displacement $=\sqrt{(-15.43)^2+35.36^2} =38.58 miles$

Angle to positive x -axis = tan⁻¹(35.36/-15.43) = 113.57°

Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° west of north.

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius

Marina CMI [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

$\tau = I\alpha$

where

I = Moment of inertia $\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2$ For a disk

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

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

Where

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Final and Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta =$ Angular displacement

Our values are given as

$\omega_i = 0 rad/s$

$\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega_f = 47.12rad/s$

$\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad$

$r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m$

$m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg$

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

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

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}$

$\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2$

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)$

$\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque exerted on it is $2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Juliette sets the initial velocity to +10 m/s, the acceleration to zero, and clicks “start.” How can Shakina describe the subseq

ICE Princess25 [194]

Explanation :

It is given that :

The initial velocity of the car is 10 m/s.

Juliette sets the acceleration to zero.

We know that, acceleration $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ \

where,

u is the initial velocity and v is the final velocity.

So, final velocity will become 10 m/s.

Hence, the car will move with the constant velocity i.e. 10 m/s.

So, Shakina described that the car will move with the constant velocity of 10 m/s as acceleration is zero.
