Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.

Camp A  is 20° north of east from the camp, therefore
m∠CAB = 80°
where C => base camp.

Let d = distance from lake B to the base camp, at x° west of south.
Apply the Law of Cosines to determine d.
d² = 205² + 175² - 2*205*175*cos80⁰
     = 6.0191 x 10⁴
d = 245.338 km

Apply the Law of Sines to obtain
\frac{sin(x+30)}{205}= \frac{sin80^{o}}{245.338}\\ \\ sin(x+30)=( \frac{205}{245.338})sin80^{o}=   0.8229
x+30 = sin⁻¹ 0.8229 = 55.4°
x = 25.4°

Answer:
The distance from lake B to base camp is 243.3km (nearest tenth).
The direction is 25.4° west of south.

1. Differentiate between speed and velocity.
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1. Speed and velocity both involve a numeric rate describing the distance traveled by a body in a unit of time. However, speed describes the rate of a body traveling in any direction in a unit of time, while velocity describes the rate of a body traveling in a particular direction in a unit of time.

2. Answers may vary, but should resemble the following:

Average velocity explains the velocity the body traveled overall, not taking into consideration each spot in the trip. If a car moves at 65 km/h on average, it may have slowed down for some parts and sped up for others. Overall though, it would have made a certain distance of travel within a specified unit of time that totals the average velocity of 65 km/h.

Instantaneous velocity explains the velocity of a body at a particular instant of the trip. The instantaneous velocity of a car stopped at a stop sign would be 0 m/s even if it was moving before and will continue to move after this stop. The velocity at that particular instant is the instantaneous velocity.

Uniform velocity is when the distance being covered is changing uniformly with time. For example, if a car moves 20 km every 30 minutes and continues to do so in the same direction, it's traveling with a uniform velocity.

3. a=v2−v1t

a=20 m/s−60 m/s6 s

a=−406

a = –6.7 m/s2

4. v2 = v1 + at

v2 = 14 m/s + (3 m/s2 × 6 s)

v2 = 14 + 18

v2 = 32 m/s

5. v=st

v=375 km5 h

v = 75 km/h  

6. First, convert the minutes to seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in one minute, multiply:

60 × 15 (minutes) = 900 seconds

s = v × t

s = 6 m/s × 900 s

s = 5,400 m

7. t=sv

t=80 km35 km/hr

t = 2.29 hr

8. a=v2−v1t

a=50 m/s−15 m/s4 s

a=35 m/s4 s

a = 8.75 m/s2

9. vav=v1+v22

vav=15 m/s+50 m/s2

vav=65 m/s2

vav = 32.5 m/s

10. a=v2−v1t

a=0 m/s−11.5 m/s3.5 s

a = –3.29 m/s2

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

L = 7 [cm]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must analyze each of the distances mentioned and take into account the number of covers and thicknesses of these.

The worm crosses through the sheets of the first book, this distance can be determined by the following length analysis.

4 = P + 2*C

Where:

P = thicknesses of the pages [cm]

C = thicknesses of each cover [cm]

P = 4 - 2*(0.5)

P = 3 [cm]

The distance crossed was:

L = P + 2C + P "the pages of the first book + 2 covers + the pages of the second book"

L = 3 + (2*0.5) + 3

L = 7 [cm]

A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.31 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a po
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) before immersion

C = εA/d = (8.85e-12)(25e-4)/(1.31e-2) = 1.68e-12 F

q = CV = (1.68e-12)(255) = 4.28e-10 C

b) after immersion

q = 4.28e-10 C

Because the capacitor was disconnected before it was immersed, the charge remains the same.

c)*at 20° C

C = κεA/d = (80.4*)(8.85e-12)(25e-4)/(1.31e-2) = 5.62e-10 F

V = q/C = 4.28e-10 C/5.62e-10 C = 0.76 V

e)

U(i) = (1/2)CV^2 = (1/2)(1.68e-12)(255)^2 = 5.46e-8 J

U(f) = (1/2)(5.62e-10)(0.76)^2 = 1.62e-10 J

ΔU = 1.62e-10 J - 5.46e-8 J = -3.84e-8 J
