Explanation:

It is given that, a robot starts from a certain point and moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, then goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters.

Let east is +x, west is -x north is +y.

When it moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, it means (5,0)

When it goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters, it means (0,3) +(-2,0)

(a) x-y coordinates for the resultant vector is (3,3)

(b) The magnitude of the resultant vector for the robot is given by :

R=\sqrt{3^2+3^2} \\\\R=4.24\ m

Answer:

1.   3 m/s^{2}

2.   1.5 m/s^{2}

3.   3 seconds

4.   0 m/s^{2}

5.   2.2 seconds

Explanation:

(1)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=0 since it’s at rest, v=30m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {30-0}{10}=3 m/s^{2}

(2)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=10m/s, v=22m/s and t=8 seconds

a = \frac {22-10}{8}=1.5 m/s^{2}

(3)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=0m/s since at rest, v=15m/s and a=5 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {15-0}{5}=3s

(4)

When initial and final velocity are constant, there’s no acceleration as proven below

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=20 since it’s at rest, v=20m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {20-20}{10}=0 m/s^{2}

(5)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=9m/s since at rest, v=0m/s and a=-4.1 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {0-9}{-4.1}=2.2s

Which observational tool helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A radio telescope helped the astronomers discover the CMB.

Explanation:

  • Penzias and Wilson while experimenting with a radio telescope in 1964, accidentally discovered the radiation that exists universally also known as the CMB.
  • This was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" and not the "Steady State Theory"
  • CMB is the faint cosmic radiation that fills up the universe. It provides important data for understanding early universe.
  • This data tells us about the composition of the universe and its age which raises new questions about the universe.

A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to a speed of 25m/s after traveling 75m. What is its acceleration in m/s^2
Roman55 [17]
<h2><em>So there is two truths given. After an amount of time Ttotal (lets call it ‘t’): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>The car’s speed is 25m/s </em></h2><h2><em>The distance travelled is 75m </em></h2><h2><em>Then we have the formulas for speed and distance: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>v = a x t -> 25 = a x t </em></h2><h2><em>s = 0.5 x a x t^2 -> 75 = 0.5 x a x t^2 </em></h2><h2><em>Now, we know that both acceleration and time equal for both truths. So we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t = 25 / a </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 75 / (0.5 x a) = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since we don’t want to use square root at 2) we go squared for 1): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = (25 / a) ^2 = 625 / a^2 </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since t has the same value for both truths we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 / a^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Thus multiply both sides with a^2: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 = 150 x a, so a = 625 / 150 = 4.17 </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>We can now calculate t as well t = 25 * 150 / 625 = 6</em></h2>
