Physics

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

Answer:

The initial velocity of the golf is 15.7 m/s.

The direction of the golf is 57°.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time of flight (T) = 2.7 secs

Range (R) = 23 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =.?

Direction (θ) =.?

T = 2U Sine θ /g

2.7 = 2 × U × Sine θ /9.8

Cross multiply

2.7 × 9.8 = 2 × U × Sine θ

26.46 = 2 × U × Sine θ

Divide both side by 2 × Sine θ

U = 26.46 /2 Sine θ

U = 13.23 / Sine θ ... (1)

R = U² Sine 2θ /g

23 = U² Sine 2θ / 9.8

U = 13.23 / Sine θ

23 = (13.23/ Sine θ)² Sine 2θ / 9.8

23 = (175.0329 / Sine² θ) × Sine 2θ / 9.8

23 = 17.8605/Sine² θ × Sine 2θ

Recall:

Sine 2θ = 2SineθCosθ

23 = 17.8605/ Sine² θ × 2SineθCosθ

23 = 17.8605/ Sine θ × 2Cosθ

23 = 35.721 Cos θ /Sine θ

Cross multiply

23 × Sine θ = 35.721 Cos θ

Divide both side by 23

Sine θ = 35.721 Cos θ /23

Sine θ = 1.5531 × Cos θ

Divide both side by Cos θ

Sine θ /Cos θ = 1.5531

Recall:

Sine θ /Cos θ = Tan θ

Sine θ /Cos θ = 1.5531

Tan θ = 1.5531

Take the inverse of Tan

θ = Tan¯¹ (1.5531)

θ = 57°

Therefore, the direction of the golf is 57°

Thus, the initial velocity can be obtained as follow:

U = 13.23 / Sine θ

θ = 57°

U = 13.23 / Sine 57

U = 13.23/0.8387

U = 15.7 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the golf is 15.7 m/s

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

Scenario
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1) t = 23.26 s,  x = 8527 m, 2)   t = 97.145 s,  v₀ = 6.4 m / s

Explanation:

1) First Scenario.

After reading your extensive problem, we are going to solve it, for this exercise we must use the parabolic motion relationships. Let's carry out an analysis of the situation, for deliveries the planes fly horizontally and we assume that the wind speed is zero or very small.

Before starting, let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         v₀ = 250 miles/h (5280 ft / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 366.67 ft/s

         y = 2650 m

Let's start by looking for the time it takes for the load to reach the ground.

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case when it reaches the ground its height is zero and as the plane flies horizontally the vertical speed is zero

         0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

          t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

          t = √(2 2650/9.8)

          t = 23.26 s

this is the horizontal scrolling time

          x = v₀ t

          x = 366.67  23.26

          x = 8527 m

the speed at the point of arrival is

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t = 0 - gt

         v_y = - 9.8 23.26

         v_y = -227.95 m / s

Module and angle form

        v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

         v = √(366.67² + 227.95²)

        v = 431.75 m / s

         θ = tan⁻¹ (v_y / vₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (227.95 / 366.67)

         θ = - 31.97º

measured clockwise from x axis

We see that there must be a mechanism to reduce this speed and the merchandise is not damaged.

2) second scenario. A catapult located at the position x₀ = -400m y₀ = -50m with a launch angle of θ = 50º

we look for the components of speed

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v₀

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

            v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

            v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

we look for the time for the arrival point that has coordinates x = 0, y = 0

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

            0 = y₀ + vo sin θ t - ½ g t²

            0 = -50 + vo sin 50 t - ½ 9.8 t²

            x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t

            0 = x₀ + vo cos θ t

            0 = -400 + vo cos 50 t

podemos ver que tenemos un sistema de dos ecuación con dos incógnitas

          50 = 0,766 vo t – 4,9 t²

          400 =   0,643 vo t

resolved

          50 = 0,766 ( \frac{400}{0.643 \ t}) t – 4,9 t²

          50 = 476,52 t – 4,9 t²

          t² – 97,25 t + 10,2 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

         t = [97.25 ± \sqrt{97.25^2 - 4 \ 10.2}] / 2

         t = 97.25 ±97.04] 2

         t₁ = 97.145 s

         t₂ = 0.1 s≈0

the correct time is t1 the other time is the time to the launch point,

         t = 97.145 s

let's find the initial velocity

         x = x₀ + v₀ cos 50 t

         0 = -400 + v₀ cos 50 97.145

         v₀ = 400 / 62.44

         v₀ = 6.4 m / s

You and your friend live in different states and plant identical hydrangea bulbs in your garden. When they bloom, you send each
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

sample. rewrite in your own words if you'd like.

Explanation:

Since the hydrangeas are changing color depending on whether the soil is acidic or basic, they must have an indicator. This means that any hydrangea planted in acidic soil will have blue flowers and any hydrangea planted in basic soil will have pink. One common indicator present in many plants is anthocyanin, so maybe hydrangeas contain that chemical.
