A traveler first drives 21.0 km east, then 29.1 km southeast, and finally 10.3 km south. Find the traveler's total displacement.
Vinvika [58]

The traveler's total displacement is 53.2 km.

The shortest distance between a particle's starting position and destination is referred to as its displacement vector. Displacement has a distinct physical magnitude than distance. Let's use the motion of a particle making a complete circle as an example. The displacement in this motion is zero, yet the distance traveled is equal to the circle's circumference. The individual displacement vectors are as follows: d1

=22^ikm→d2

= (29.7cos45i29.7sin45) kmd3=104jkm

The traveler's complete disadvantage is,

→d=→d1+→d2+→d3→d

=22^ikM+29.7

cos45^−29.7sin45o) km−10.4^j km→

d=(43^i−31.4^j) km

The magnitude of the total displacement is,

d=√432+31.4/2Km d≈53.2km

The direction is,

θ=tan−1(−31.4/43)

θ=−36.1or 36.1 south of east.

(EXPLAIN) why is mercury thermometer a element? if you explain correctly you will get brainliest
shutvik [7]

Mercury looks pretty, in its shiny, fast-moving liquid form, but don't touch! It can be extremely poisonous to humans.

The symbol Hg that mercury is known by comes from its Greek name, hydrargyrum, which means "liquid silver" — to reflect its shiny surface. The element is also known as quicksilver for its mobility. Named after the fastest-moving planet in the solar system, mercury has been known to humanity for ages. In fact, evidence of its use has been found in China, India and Egypt, and traces of mercury were found in 3,500-year-old Egyptian tombs.

Mercury is a very toxic element. It can enter the body through an open wound or by inhaling or ingesting it. It can then cause damage to nerves, the liver and the kidney, as well as a number of other symptoms.

Despite its toxic qualities, mercury can still be useful to us. The element conducts electricity and is used in electrical switches of thermostats and certain types of doze alarm-type alarm clocks, according to the College of Natural Resources at the University of California, Berkeley (CNR) "The place where people probably see it most commonly is in the new light bulbs — the compact fluorescent light bulbs," where mercury vapor is one of the chemicals used, said Daniel King, an associate professor of chemistry at Drexel University.

Due to its high density and compactness, mercury is also used to make thermometers, barometers and other scientific instruments, according to the Jefferson Lab. However, for safety reasons, consumer use of mercury in thermometers has become less common over the years, as digital thermometers have been introduced. In 2008, 13 states introduced laws that limit the manufacture, sale and/or distribution of mercury fever thermometers: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Oregon, Washington, the Environmental Protection Agency reports.

Just the facts

Atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus): 80

Atomic symbol (on the Periodic Table of Elements): Hg

Atomic weight (average mass of the atom): 200.59

Density: 13.5336 grams per cubic centimeter

Phase at room temperature: Liquid

Melting point: minus 37.8 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 38.83 degrees Celsius)

Boiling point: 674.11 F (356.73 C)

Number of isotopes (atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons): 34. Number of stable isotopes: 7

Most common isotope: 202Hg (29.9 percent natural abundance)

Mercury is typically found in the form of its common ore cinnabar — mercury sulfite — and can rarely be found on its own. To extract pure mercury, the ore is ground up and heated to the temperature of about 1,076 degrees F (580 degrees Celsius) with oxygen present in the process. Mercury vapor escapes from the ores and sulfur dioxide is removed, according to CNR. The metal is condensed and washed with nitric acid to purify it, and then distilled.

Mercury can form alloys with gold, silver, zinc and cadmium, which are called amalgams. Through those amalgams, mercury can be used to extract gold from rocks. When mercury comes into contact with gold, the gold dissolves into the mercury and then the two are separated, with the mercury being distilled off.

Mercury also forms compounds with other elements. Interestingly, one of such compounds — mercury nitrate — played a role in the coining of the term "mad as a hatter."

"Mercury was actually used in the making of hats from animal pelts," King said. In the 18th century people used the mercury nitrate compound to clean the pelts before they turned them into hats.

"And they discovered that a large percentage of the people who were working with those chemicals ended up suffering from brain damage," he said. "So the term 'mad as a hatter' actually comes from exposure to mercury."

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is a weighted-average mass
Sliva [168]
The isotopes contribute to the average atomic mass based on their abundance. The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope. The average atomic mass for carbon is 12.0107 amu. The atomic mass as displayed on the periodic table is a weighted average relative atomic mass of the naturally occuring isotopes of that element. An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons For example - Carbon naturally occurs in isotopes C12, C13 and C14 with abundances of 98.9% 1.1% and 'trace' respectively. the average mass is then calculated by 12*98.9%+13*1.1% = 12.01g/mol

Find the shear stress and the thickness of the boundary layer (a) at the center and (b) at the trailing edge of a smooth flat pl
melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The shear stress is 0.012

b) The shear stress is 0.0082

c) The total friction drag is 0.329 lbf

Explanation:

Given by the problem:

Length y plate = 2 ft

Width y plate = 10 ft

p = density = 1.938 slug/ft³

v = kinematic viscosity = 1.217x10⁻⁵ft²/s

Absolute viscosity = 2.359x10⁻⁵lbfs/ft²

a) The Reynold number is equal to:

Re=\frac{1*3}{1.217x10^{-5} } =246507, laminar

The boundary layer thickness is equal to:

\delta=\frac{4.91*1}{Re^{0.5} }  =\frac{4.91*1}{246507^{0.5} } =0.0098 ft

The shear stress is equal to:

\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{1}  )(246507)^{0.5} =0.012

b) If the railing edge is 2 ft, the Reynold number is:

Re=\frac{2*3}{1.215x10^{-5} } =493015.6,laminar

The boundary layer is equal to:

\delta=\frac{4.91*2}{493015.6^{0.5} } =0.000019ft

The sear stress is equal to:

\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{2}  )(493015.6^{0.5} )=0.0082

c) The drag coefficient is equal to:

C=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re} } =\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{493015.6} } ==0.0019

The friction drag is equal to:

F=Cp\frac{v^{2} }{2} wL=0.0019*1.938*(\frac{3^{2} }{2} )(10*2)=0.329lbf

Chris and Sue are wearing harnesses and are hanging from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. They are face to face a
Setler [38]

Answer:

h = 0.288m

Explanation:

Assume

v_1 = Speed of Sue

v_2 = Speed of Chris immediately after the push

Sue's KE = \frac{1}{2} mv_1\ ^2 = 26 v_1 \ ^2

now she swings this is converted into gravitation at PE of

mg n = 52 × 9.8 × 0.65  

= 331.24

26v_{1}\ ^2 = 331.24

So, v_1 = 3.569

They started at rest by conservation of momentum in case of push off the magnitude of sue momentum and it is equal to the magnitude of Chris momentum in the opposite or inverse direction

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

52 \times 3.569  = 78 \times v_2

v_2 = 2.380

Chris kt = \frac{1}{2} \times 78 \times 2.380^2

= 220.827

220.827 = mgh

So, h = 0.288m
