If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?

Physics

vodomira [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

 Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

 First walking 1.2 km north,  displacement = 1.2 j km

 Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

 Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

 Magnitude = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km

 Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0 = 36.87⁰ east of north.

At Hoover Dam, the distance the water effectively falls before encountering the electric generators depends on the water levels
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

recall that power is energy carried out or work done per time

P=W/t

P=2*10^6*35

t=6*60=420S

W=Energy

E=2*10^6*35*360S

E=25200000000

Energy stored by water from rest is called potential energy. Since the water is falling from a height , we calculate potential energy as thus

E=M*g*h

Assume that the water intakes are effectively 175 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2 million 35-W Las Vegas light bulbs for 6.0 minutes?

M=mass of water

g=acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s^2

h=height ,175m

25200000000=M*9.81*175

M=\frac{25200000000}{175*9.81}

M=1716.75kg

A 25 kg ball is thrown into the air when thrown it's going 10 m/s calculate how high it travels
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.

If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only  (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.

Its average speed during that time is  (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .

At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises

                   (5 m/s) x (1.02 sec)  =  5.102 meters .

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

What force is required to accelerate a 385 kg couch at 0.2 m/s^2 ?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

It takes 77 N

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law of motion, F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration. Since the mass of the couch is 385 kg and the target acceleration is 0.2 m/s, you simply multiply mass times acceleration (ma) to get the total force, or 77 N.
