An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive dis- placements. The first is 75 km 30.0° west of north, and

the second is 155 km 60.0° east of north. What is the total displacement of the airplane?

Answer: displacement of airplane is 172 km in direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Explanation:

In constructing the two displacements it is noticed that the angle between the 75 km vector and the 155 km vector is a right angle (90 degrees).

 

Hence if the plane starts out at A, it travels to B, 75 km away, then turns 90 degrees to the right (clockwise) and travels to C, 155 km away from B. Angle ABC is 90 degrees, hence we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for AC

 

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AC^2 = 752 + 1552  ; from this we get AC = 172 km (3 significant figures)

 

Angle BAC = Tan-1(155/75) ; giving angle BAC = 64.2 degrees

 

Hence AC is in a direction (64.2 - 30) = 34.2 degrees East of North

 

Therefore the displacement of the airplane is 172 km in a direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Suppose a planet has twice the mass of the earth and twice the earth's radius. What is the acceleration of an object in free fal
ira [324]
We use the equation:

g = G m / r2 
where
<span>G=constant universal gravitational = 6.67 x 10^-11 n m^2/kg^2 </span>
<span>m=planet mass=5.9736 x 10^24 kg (twice=11.9472) </span>
<span>r radium planet=6.372 km (twice=12.744) 
</span>
<span>g= 6.67 x 10^-11 n m^2/kg^2 x 11.9472 10^24 kg/(12.744.000m)^2 </span>
<span>g=4.90 m/s^2 (1/2 of Earth gravity)  <------- second option</span>

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.
