I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done

Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

$A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)$

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and $\alpha$ is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle $\alpha$ .

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

$A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5$

So:

$|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846$

So:

$Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)$

$\alpha$ = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

$\alpha$ = 313 °

Option 4.

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is

Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative Precipitation

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100 100 300

Expand 350 500 200

Build new 750 300 0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are for

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140

Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305

Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

if you drop a stone from height of 2.5m. what is the speed of the stone right before it hits the ground?

KonstantinChe [14]

Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s

Using v² = u² + 2gs.

Where g ≈ 10 m/s², u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m

v² = u² + 2gs

v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5

v² = 0 + 50

v² = 50

v = √50

v ≈ 7.07 m/s

Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s
