What is your displacement if you walk 100 m north, 20 m east, 30 m south, 50 m west, and then 70 m south?

1 answer:

4 0

Displacement isn't total distance traveled, it's the distance from the original starting point. So the 70 meters South in addition to the 30 meters South would decrease the distance to the North. It would then, instead of being 100 meters North and 100 meters South, there would be zero displacement. Then you take 50-20 to get 30 meters West. Your final displacement is 30 meters.

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if i

Sergio [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of fighter plane=2.3 m

Radius= $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.3}{2}=1.15 m$

a.We have to find the angular velocity in radians per second if it spins=1200 rev/min

Frequency= $\frac{1200}{60}=20 Hz$

1 minute=60 seconds

Angular velocity= $\omega=2\pi f$

Angular velocity= $2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20=125.7 rad/s$

b.We have to find the linear speed of its tip at this angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac.

$v=r\omega=1.15\times 125.7=144.56 m/s$

c.Centripetal acceleration= $\omega^2 r=(125.7)^2(1.15)=18170.56 m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration== $\frac{18170.56\times g}{9.81}=1852.25 g m/s^2$

n electromagnetic wave in vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 611 V/m. Calculate the amplitude of the corresponding magnet

enot [183]

Answer:

The corresponding magnetic field is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The electric field amplitude is $E_o = 611\ V/m$

Generally the magnetic field amplitude is mathematically represented as

$B_o = \frac{E_o }{c }$

Where c is the speed of light with a constant value

$c = 3.0 *0^{8} \ m/s$

$B_o = \frac{611 }{3.0*10^{8}}$

$B_o = 2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ Vm^{-2} s$

Since 1 T is equivalent to $V m^{-2} \cdot s$

$B_o = 2.0 4 *10^{-6} \ T$

GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>They represent kinetic energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy
