The child on a swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum.  The period of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{9.2m}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} } }=6.09s

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)

A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

It has been observed that electrical connectors manufactured by Jolt Electrical Supply Company last an average of 18.2 months an
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Jolt can expect to replace 160 units.

Explanation:

given data:

standard deviation 1.7

average lfe of connectors = 18.2 months

number of connectors = 5000

z(19) = \frac{(19-18.2)}{1.7}

z(19)  = 0.4706

P(x< 19) = P(z< 0.4706)

P(x< 19) = 0.6810   from z table

therefore 68.1% fails within 19 months.

hence 0.3190   {100-68.1} will fail during that period.

number of unit of Jolt that need to be replace, on average is  0.319*500 = 160 units.
