Complete Question

Answer:

the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

Explanation:

Generally using cosine we can obtain the resultant R as follows

     R^2  =  A^2  + B^2 -2ABcos(70)

=>   R  =  \sqrt{12^2  + 20^2  - 2(12 ) *  (20) cos  70}

=>    R  =  19.48 \  m

We can obtain the direction of the resultant by first  using sine rule to obtain angle C as follows

       \frac{A}{sin  C}  =  \frac{R}{sin70 }

=>    C=  sin ^{-1} [\frac{A *  (sin 70)}{R} ]

=>    C =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{20 *  (sin 70)}{19.48} ]

=>  C =  74.7 ^o

Then the direction is obtained as

       \theta  =  C  -  70

=>    \theta  = 74.7   -  70

=>     \theta  =4.7^o

Hence the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

Answer:

greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision,

Explanation:

To answer this exercise we must find the speed that the sail acquires after each impact.

Let's start by hitting a ball of clay.

The system is formed by the candle and the clay balls, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved.

initial instant. before the crash

         p₀ = m v₀

where m is the mass of the ball and vo its initial velocity, we are assuming that the candle is at rest

final instant. After the crash

the mass of the candle is M

         p_f = (m + M) v

the moment is preserved

          p₀ = p_f

          m v₀ = (m + M) v

          v = \frac{m}{m+M} \ v_o

for when n balls have collided

          v = \frac{m}{n \ m + M}  v₀

Now let's analyze the case of the bouncing ball (elastic)

     

initial instant

        p₀ = m v₀

final moment

        p_f = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

        p₀ = p_f

        m v₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

       m (v₀ - v_{1f}) = M v_{2f}

this case corresponds to an elastic collision whereby the kinetic energy is conserved

        K₀ = K_f

        ½ m v₀² = ½ m v_{1f}² + ½ M v_{2f}²

        v₁ = v_{1f}            v₂ = v_{2f}

        m (v₀² - v₁²) = M v₂²

let's use the identity

         (a² - b²) = (a + b) (a-b)

we write our equations

         m (v₀ - v₁) = M v₂                       (1)

         m (v₀ - v₁) (v₀ + v₁) = M v₂²

let's divide these equations

         v₀ + v₁ = v₂

Let's look for the final speeds

we substitute in equation 1

          m (v₀ - v₁) = M (v₀ + v₁)

          v₀ (m -M) = (m + M) v₁

          v₁ = \frac{m-M}{m + M}   v₀

we substitute in equation 1 to find v₂

            \frac{M}{m}  v₂ = v₀ -  \frac{m-M}{m+M}   v₀

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( 1 - \frac{m-M}{m+M} ) \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( \frac{2M}{m+M} ) \ \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{2m}{m +M}  \ v_o  

Let's analyze the results for inelastic collision with each ball that collides with the sail, the total mass becomes larger so the speed increase is smaller and smaller.

In the case of elastic collision, the increase in speed is constant with each ball since the total mass remains invariant.

Consequently, greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision, that is, the ball will bounce.

Discuss how does a Van de Graaff generator works?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

How does a Van de Graaff generator works?

A Van de Graaff generator pulls electrons from the Earth, moves them along a belt and stores them on the large sphere. These electrons repel each other and try to get as far away from each other as possible, spreading out on the surface of the sphere. ... It provides a convenient path for electrons to move to the ground.

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s
