Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall. Starting at city hall, he marches the parade 4 blocks ea

st, then 3 blocks south. From there, the parade marches 1 block west and 9 blocks north and finally stops. What is the vector displacement and direction of the the parade, starting from the city hall and the stopping point? (1 point)
Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Displacement: 8.01 m, Direction: 21.9 degrees north of east

Displacement: 2.56 m, Direction: 39.7 degrees north of east

Answer:

The correct option is A)

Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Given that Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall.

Let, Initial location of parade is 0i+0j

One block of city is one units on the XY- graph

Statement 1: Parade marches the parade 4 blocks east, then 3 blocks south

New location of parade is 4i-3j

Statement 2: The parade marches 1 block west and 9 blocks north and finally stops.

Final location of parade is (4i-3j)+(-1i+9j)=3i+6j

Displacement is given by

Displacement = (Final destination)-(Initial destination)

Displacement = (3i+6j)-(0i+0j)=3i+6j

Thus,

Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{3^{2}+6^{2}}

                                              = 6.71 m

Direction of displacement =  tan^{-1}(\frac{Y}{X} )

                                           =  tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{3} )

                                           = 63.43 NE

Therefore, the correct option is A) Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff ideal sprin
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position = 888.89 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Workdone (W) = 80.0 J

length x = 0.180 m

The equation  for this  work done by the spring is expressed as:

W = \frac{1}{2}k_{eq}x^2

Making the spring constant k_{eq} the subject of the formula; we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2W}{x^2}

Substituting our given values, we have:

k_{eq} = \frac{2*80}{0.180^2}

k_{eq} = 4938.27 \ N.m^{-1}

The magnitude of the force that must be apply  to the hold platform in this position is given by the formula :

F = k_{eq}x

F = 4938.27*0.180

F = 888.89 N

Why are astronauts weightless in the Space Station? You may find it helpful to watch the video "Newton's Laws of Motion." Why ar
Zolol [24]

Answer:

B) Because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

Explanation:

Anything that is falling experiences an upward force on them. For example when a person is going down in a lift they will experience something that is pushing them upwards. This happens due to the fact that the total acceleration the body is feeling is less than the acceleration due to graviity.

The force on a body which is falling is

F=m(g-a)

Where,

m = Mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

a = acceleration the object is experiencing.

a = g. So, the force becomes zero and the object experiences weightlessness.

Hence, the astronauts in the space station experience weightlessness due to fact that the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

Suppose you have two meter sticks, one made of steel and one made of invar (an alloy of iron and nickel), which are the same len
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

  • The difference in length for steel is 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m
  • The difference in length for invar is 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

Given;

original length of steel, L₁ = 1.00 m

original length of invar, L₁ = 1.00 m

coefficients of volume expansion for steel, \gamma_{st.} =  3.6 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

coefficients of volume expansion for invar, \gamma_{in.} =  2.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

temperature rise in both meter stick, θ = 20.5°C

Difference in length, can be calculated as:

L₂ = L₁ (1 + αθ)

L₂  = L₁ + L₁αθ

L₂  - L₁ = L₁αθ

ΔL = L₁αθ

Where;

ΔL is difference in length

α is linear expansivity = \frac{\gamma}{3}

Difference in length, for steel at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{3.6*10^{-5}}{3} = 1.2*10^{-5} /^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 1.2 x 10⁻⁵ x 20.5 = 2.46 x 10⁻⁴ m

Difference in length, for invar at 20.5°C:

ΔL =  L₁αθ

Given;

L₁ = 1.00 m

θ = 20.5°C

\alpha = \frac{\gamma}{3} = \frac{2.7*10^{-6}}{3} = 0.9*10^{-6}/^oC

ΔL  = 1 x 0.9 x 10⁻⁶ x 20.5 = 1.845 x 10⁻⁵ m
