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.

Using equations, determine the temperature, pressure and density of the air for a aircraft flying at 19.5 km. Is this aircraft s
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density =  0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

  =  -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level )  = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = \sqrt{CRT}  =  \sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 } = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency
Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.
