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 :

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

What is the kinetic energy of a 144.1 kg man running along at 3.44 m/s?

Novay_Z [31]

The equation of kinetic energy is $K = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$ , where v = velocity and m= mass.

So,

144.1 kg * 11.56 m/s * 1/2 = 832.898

A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 + 1.00 ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to

ryzh [129]

Answer:

a. The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. -9.19° = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

Explanation:

The initial velocity v₁ of the fish is v₁ = 4.00i + 1.00j m/s. Its final velocity after accelerating for t = 19.0 s is v₂ = 17.0i - 1.00j m/s

a. The acceleration a = (v₂ - v₁)/t = [17.0i - 1.00j - (4.00i + 1.00j)]/19 = [(17.0 -4.0)i - (-1.0 -1.0)j]/19 = (13.0i - 2.0j)/19 = 0.68i - 0.11j m/s²

The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. The direction of the acceleration relative to the unit vector i,

tanθ = a₂/a₁ = -0.11/0.68 = -0.1618

θ = tan⁻¹(-0.1618) = -9.19° ⇒ 360 + (-9.19) = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

If a certain mass has its velocity changed from 6.00 m/s to 7.50 m/s when a 3.00 n force acts for 4.00 seconds, find the mass of

shutvik [7]

By definition we have that the force for time is equal to the product of the mass for the change in speed.
We have then that
F * (delta t) = m * (delta v)
Clearing the mass
m = (F * (delta t)) / (delta v)
Substituting the values
m = ((3.00) * (4.00)) / (7.50-6.00) = 8
answer
The mass of the moving object is 8Kg

Estimate the kinetic energy of the earth with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms.

nekit [7.7K]

The definition of kinetic energy allows to find the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

The kinetic energy ratio is $\frac{K_{Sum} }{K_{Earth}} = 5.3 \ 10^2$

<h3 /><h3 /><h3> Kinetic enrgy.</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the movement of bodies, it is given by the relation

K = ½ m v²

where K is the kinetic energy, m the mass of the body and v the velocity of the body.

In a compound motion it is common to separate energy into parts to simplify calculations.

Translational kinetic energy. Due to the linear movement of the body

$K_{tras} =\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

Rotational kinetic energy. Due to the rotational movement of the body.

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I w^2$

Where I is the inrtia momentum and w the angular velocity.

They indicate that we compare the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth.

The Earth has two movements, one of rotation about its axis with a period of T = 24 h and one of translation with respect to the Sun with a period of T= 365 days, therefore the kinetic energy of the Earth.

$K_{earth} = K_{tras} + K_{rot}$

Linear and rotational speed are related.

v = w r

The Earth is an almost spherical body therefore the moment of inertia of a solid sphere.

I = $\frac{2}{5 } m r^2$

Let's subatitute.

$K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} \ m r^2_{tras} w^2_{tras} + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{2}{5} m r^2_{earth}) w^2_{rot}$

The movement of the Earth around the sun is almost circular, therefore we can use the relations of the uniform circular movement, where the angle for one revolution is 2π radians and the time is called the period.

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

Let's substitute.

$K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{2\pi r^2_{tras}}{T_{tras}})^2 \ + \frac{1}{5} m (\frac{2\pi r^2_{earth} }{T^2_{rot}})^2$

$K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 \ m \ ( \frac{1}{2} [ \frac{r_{tras}}{T_{tras}y} ]^2 + \frac{1}{5} [ \frac{r_{rot}}{T_{rot}}]^2)$

Data for Earth are tabulated:

Mass m = 5.98 1024 kg

Radius r = 6.37 10⁶ m

Radius orbits tras = 1.496 10¹¹ m

Rotation period $T_{rot}$ = 24 h ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 8.64 10⁴s

Translation period $T_{tras}$ = 365 d ( $\frac{24h}{1 d}$ ) ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 3.15 10⁷ s

Let's calculate.

$K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 5.98 \ 10^{24} ( \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{1.496 \ 10^{11}}{3.15 \ 10^7 } )^2 \ + \frac{1}{5}( \frac{6.37 \ 10^6 }{8.64 \ 10^4})^2 )$

$K_{earth} = 2.36 \ 10^{26 } \ (1.128 \ 10^7 + 1.087 \ 10^3)$

$K_{earth}= 2.66 \ 10^{33} J$

Let's analyze the kinetic energy for the Sun, this is inside the solar system therefore it has no translation movement and is approximately a sphere with a rotation period of $T_{Sum}$ = 27 days.

The kinetic energy of the sun is;

$K_{sum} = K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I w^2$

$K_{sum} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} M R^2) (\frac{2\pi}{T_{sum}})^2$

$K_{sum} = \frac{4\pi^2 }{5} M (\frac{R}{T_{rot}})^2$

The tabulated data for the sun are:

Mass m = 1,991 1030 kg.

Radius R = 6.96 10⁸ m

Period T = 27 d ( $\frac{24h}{1 d}$ ) ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 2.33 10⁶ s

Let's calculate.

$K_{sum} = 1.40 \ 10^{36} J$

The relationship of the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth is:

$\frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} = \frac{1.40 \ 10^{36}}{2.66 \ 10^{33}}$

$\frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} = 5.3 \ 10^2$

In conclusion using the definition of kinetic energy we can shorten the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

The kinetic energy ratio is: $\frac{K_{Sum}}{K_{Earth}} = 5 \ 10^2$
