A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a

direction 37° north of east. It then moves from second building to the third building in a direction 69° west of north. Finally, it returns to the first building, sailing in a direction 28° east of south. Calculate the distance between (a) the second and third buildings and (b) the first and third buildings.

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction

satela [25.4K]

a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes. This one isn't bad. The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No. That's silly.
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity.

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.

A block of plastic in the shape of a rectangular solid that has height 8.00 cm and area A for its top and bottom surfaces is flo

kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.35 kg

Explanation:

8 cm = 0.08 m

For the block to stay balance, the buoyancy force must be the same as gravity that pulls it down.

Let mass of the block be M, then the gravity would be Mg

Let water density be $\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ , the buoyancy force would be the weight of water that is displaced by the submerged block.

For example, when there is no coin, block is $h_0 = 0.0312m$ submerged. The weight of water displaced must be

$W_0 = Ah_0\rho_wg = 0.0312A1000g = 31.2Ag$

Which is also the weight of block, of Mg

Therefore M = 31.2A. (1)

As coins are stacked on top of block, h increase, so as weight of water displaced and total weight of block and coins. Now let m be the total weight of coins. The gravity of block and weight must be (M+m)g. And the weight of water displaced is:

$W = Ah\rho g = (M + m)g$

$h = \frac{M}{A\rho} + \frac{m}{A\rho}$

Since the linear plot of h vs m has a slope of 0.089 m/kg, we can interpret it as

$\frac{1}{A\rho} = 0.089$

$A = \frac{1}{0.089\rho} = \frac{1}{89} = 0.011 m^2$

So from the eq. (1) we can solve for M = 31.2A = 0.35 kg

Can you answer this math homework? Please!

$\large \mathfrak{Solution : }$

9. An object which is in circular motion (moving along a circle) is said to be accelerating because it changes it's direction constantly even if it is moving with a constant speed. cuz acceleration is change in either magnitude or direction of an object with respect to time.

therefore, it's still acceleration as change in direction with time.

10. Average speed of an object can be calculated by dividing the total distance covered by an object by time taken to cover that distance.

i.e

$\boxed{speed = \dfrac{distance}{time} }$

it can be re- arranged to find the distance as :

$\boxed{distance = speed \times time}$

$time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}$

11. speed = 20 m/s : conversion into km/h

distance covered : 4 km = 4000 m

$time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}$

$t = \dfrac{4000}{20}$

$t = 200 \: \: sec$

time taken = 200 seconds

12. let's use the first equation of motion to find the acceleration :

$v = u + at$

$50 = 80 + 120a$

$50 - 80 = 120a$

$a = \dfrac{ - 30}{120}$

$a = - \dfrac{1}{4} m/s {}^{2}$

$- 0.25 \: \: m/s {}^{2}$

A 100-watt lightbulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power, or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.

fomenos

Answer:

$N=2.18\cdot 10^{20}photons/s$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is: $E=h\nu=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$ when h is the Planck constant.

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$

$c=3.8\cdot 10^{8}m/s$

Then, we calculate the energy of a photon with a wavelength equal to 550 nm.

$E= 4.58\cdot 10^{-19}J$

To find the number of photons we can use this equation:

$N=\frac{P}{E}=\frac{100}{4.58\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.18\cdot 10^{20} photons/s$
