A small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then flies 30.0 km in a direction 15° north of east. Use the an

alytical method to find the total distance the plane covers from the starting point, and the geographic direction of its displacement vector. What is its displacement vector?

Answer:

d= 64.7 km

\theta = 40.9^{o}

displacement vector=r_xi + r_yj =  48.9i + 42.4j

Explanation:

total distance = 40 + 30 = 70 km

during 1st flight

r_1 x = 40*cos60

r_1 x = 20 km

r_1 y = 40*sin60

r_1 y = 34.64 km

during 2nd flight

r_2 x = 30*cos15

r_2 x = 28.9 km

r_2 y = 30*sin15

r_2 y = 7.76 km

the two component of r are:

r_x = r_1x + r_2x = 20 + 28.9 = 48.9 km

r_y = r_1y + r_2y = 34.64 + 7.76 = 42.4 km

Geographical Direction \theta = tan^{-1}\frac{r_y}{r_x} [tex]\theta = 40.9^{o}

Displacement d= \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}

                     d = \sqrt{48.9^2+42.4^2} = 64.7 km

d= 64.7 km

displacement vector=r_xi + r_yj =  48.9i + 42.4j

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

T\ cos\theta-mg=0

T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}

Sum of forces in x direction,

T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}.............(1)

Also, r=l\ sin\theta

Equation (1) becomes :

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}

v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

On solving above equation :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Select the correct statement about osmolarity. a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution. b) The contents
8090 [49]

Answer:

a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure, per liter of solution, of solution. That is, the measurement of the solute concentration. The prefix "osmo-" indicates the possible variation of the osmotic pressure in the cells, which will occur when the solution is introduced into the body.

A closely wound rectangular coil of 80 turns has dimensions 25.0 \rm cm by 40.0 \rm cm. The plane of the coil is rotated from a
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

88.3

Explanation:

Emf in a rotating coil is given by rate of change of flux:

E= dФ/dt=(NABcos∅)/ dt

N: number of turns in the coil= 80

A: area of the coil= 0.25×0.40= 0.1

B: magnetic field strength= 1.1

Ф: angle of rotation= 90- 37= 53

dt= 0.06s

E= (80 × 0.4× 0.25×1.10 × cos53)/0.06= 88.3V

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.
