One afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.08 km. They start at the

west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) What is the distance they travel? (b) What is the magnitude of the couple’s displacement? (c) What is the direction (relative to due east) of the couple’s displacement?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Distance travelled by them = 3 / 4 x 2π R where R is radius of the circular path .

= .75 x 2 x 3.14 x 2.08

= 9.8 km approx

b )

Displacement = shortest distance between final and initial position

= √2 R

= 1.414 x 2.08

= 2.94 km approx

c ) The direction of displacement is towards north east

so the direction is 45° north of east .

Answer:

(a). The distance is 9.80 km.

(b). The magnitude of the couple’s displacement is 2.94 km.

(c). The direction of the couple’s displacement is 45°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of lake = 2.08 km

(a). We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

$d=\dfrac{3}{4}(2\pi R)$

Put the value into the formula

$d=\dfrac{3}{4}(2\pi\times2.08)$

$d=9.80\ km$

(b). We need to calculate the magnitude of the couple’s displacement

Using formula of displacement

$D=\sqrt{R^2+R^2}$

$D=\sqrt{2R^2}$

$D=\sqrt{2\times(2.08)^2}$

$D=2.94\ km$

(c), The direction of the displacement is given by

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{R}{R}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=45^{\circ}$

Hence, (a). The distance is 9.80 km.

(b). The magnitude of the couple’s displacement is 2.94 km.

(c). The direction of the couple’s displacement is 45° relative to the east.

An uncharged, nonconducting, hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge located at the origin of a Cartesian coor

MrMuchimi

The electric flux through the hole is $56.45\ webber$ .

Electric flux is the number of electric field lines cutting through the surface and is measured as surface intregal of electric field over that surface
Mathematically it is given by $\phi_E=E.A \ Nm^2/C$ where E is the electric field and A is the area.
Gauss's law states that electric flux through closed surface is equal to the 1 / ε₀ times the charge enclosed by that surface which is given by Ф = q / ε₀ where q is the central charge and ε₀ is the permittivity of the medium.

It is given , hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge.

The whole surface of hollow sphere $= 4\pi r^2$

$= 4\times 3.14\times (10 \times 10^{-2})^2 \\\\= 12.56\times 10^{-2} m^2$

Area of the hole ( both side ) $= 2\times \pi r^2$

$= 2\times 3.14 \times (10^-^3)^2\\= 6.28 \times 10^-^6 m^2$

According to Gauss's theorem, the flow from a particular charge in the center is given by

$\phi= \frac{10\times10^-^6}{8.85\times 10^-^1^2}\\\\\phi=1.13\times10^6$

This flux flows through the surface of the sphere, so the flux per unit area which is given by

$= \frac{ 1.13\times 10^6 }{ 12.56\times 10^-^2} \\\\= 8.99 \times 10^6 \ weber / m^2$

Flux through area of hole is given by :

$= 8.99\times10^6 \times6.28 \times 10^-^6\\ = 56.45 \ weber$

A complete series circuit consists of a 12.0 V battery, a 4.70 O resistor, and a switch. The internal resistance of the battery

RoseWind [281]

With the switch open, there's no current in the circuit, and therefore
no voltage drop across any of the dissipative elements (the resistor
or the battery's internal impedance). So the entire battery voltage
appears across the switch, and the voltmeter reads 12.0V .

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, $\omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min$ , radius of the record $r=0.1m$ and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as $d=1.75mm$ .

The linear speed of the record in meters per second is:

$v=\omega r=33\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2\pi}{60}\times 10\times 10^{_2}\\\\=0.3843m/s\\$

#From $v$ above, if the bumps are uniformly separated by 1m, then the rate at which they hit the stylus is:

$Hits/second=v/d \ \ \ \ d=1.75mm\\\\=0.3483/0.000175\\\\=199.0385714\approx 199$

Hence the bumps hit the stylus at around 199hit/s

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie

Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
