A disoriented physics professor drives 3.25 km north, then 2.20 km west, and then 1.50 km south. Find the magnitude and directio

Answer: magnitude of resultant = 2.811km, direction of resultant = 209.6°

Explanation: The vector ( in this case displacement) that lies on the y axis is 3.25km north and 1.50km due south.

Their resultant is gotten below

Magnitude of resultant = 3.25 - 1.50 = 1.75km

Direction of resultant = north (direction of the bigger vector)

2.20km is the only vector acting on the x axis due east, combining this vector with the resultant of the vectors above, we realize that 2.2km west is perpendicular to 1.75km due north. Since 1.75km us due north, it implies that it is the vector on the positive y axis (vy) and 2.20km due west implies that it is the vector on the negative x axis(vx), thus their resultant is gotten using phythagoras theorem.

R = √ vx² + vy²

R = √ 2.20² + 1.75²

R = √ 7.9025

R= 2.1811km.

θ = tan^-1 (vy/vx)

θ = tan ^-1 (1.25/2.20)

θ = tan ^-1 (0.5618)

θ = 29.6°.

The direction of the vector is south west which implies the third quadrant of the trigonometric quadrant which implies 180 + θ

Thus the direction of the vector is 180 + 29.60 = 209.6°

From the picture attached to this answer we can see roughly that the magnitude of resultant is longer than it component and the vector is placed on the 3rd quadrant which verifies our quantitative claim.

How do you calculate distance over speed?
Image result for if your going 30 m/s to go somewhere thats 1680 miles away
The formula can be rearranged in three ways:
speed = distance ÷ time.
distance = speed × time.
time = distance ÷ speed.

1680÷30 = 56

So it would take around 56 minutes to get to Kroger.


I hope this helps !! :)

See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l =  4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s

Let \omega is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.
