A student leaves a sidewalk corner walks 3.0 blocks north then walks 3.0 blocks west.what is the students displacement from the

starting position
Physics
1 answer:
Sliva [168]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The students displacement is 3·√3 blocks, 45° North of West

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The distance North in which the student walks = 3.0 blocks

The next walking distance West by the student = 3.0 blocks

The displacement of the student = The shortest distance between the student start and final point

By representing the motion of the student in vector format, we have;

\mathbf{d} = 3\cdot \hat{i} + 3\cdot \hat{{j}}

Therefore the magnitude of d is given as follows;

\left | d\right | = \sqrt{3^2 + 3^2} = 3\cdot \sqrt{3} \ blocks

The direction of the student = tan⁻¹(3/3) = 45° West of North

The students displacement = 3·√3 blocks, 45° North of West.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

v=3.47m/s

Explanation:

The speed is by definition the distance traveled divided over the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, this distance is the circumference of the wheel, so we have:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi r}{t}

where we have written the circumference in terms of its radius.

For our values we then obtain the value:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{t}=\frac{2\pi (16m)}{(29s)}=3.47m/s

A 1.00-kg sample of steam at 100.0 °C condenses to water at 100.0 °C. What is the entropy change of the sample if the latent hea
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Explanation:

Entropy: Entropy can be defined as the measure of the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.mol

Mathematically, entropy is expressed as

ΔS = ΔH/T....................... Equation 1

Where ΔH = heat absorbed or evolved, T = absolute temperature.

<em>Given:  If 1 mole of water = 0.0018 kg,</em>

<em>ΔH = latent heat × mass = 2.26 x 10⁶ × 1 = 2.26x 10⁶ J.</em>

<em>T = 100 °C = (100+273)  K = 373 K.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>ΔS =2.26x 10⁶/373</em>

ΔS = 6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

Therefore the entropy change of the sample of water =  6.059 x 10³ J/K.mol

A solid aluminum sphere of radius R has moment of inertia I about an axis through its center. What is the moment of inertia abou
frutty [35]

Answer:

I1 = 2/5 M1 R^2   for a sphere about its center

I2 = 2/5 M2 (2 R)^2 = 2/5 M2 R^ * 4 = 8/5 M2 R^2

Remember that M2 is greater than M1 by a factor 0f 2^3 = 8

Then I2 exceeds I1 by a factor of 32

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

option (b) 4900 N

Explanation:

m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R

F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2

F = G Me x m / 2R^2

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2

F = 4900 N
