Answer:

Part a)

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East

Explanation:

Speed of train towards East = 60 km/h

displacement towards East is given as

d_1 = 40 km

now it turns towards 50 degree East of North

so its distance is given as

d_2 = 20 km(sin50 \hat i + cos50\hat j)

d_2 = 15.3 \hat i + 12.8 \hat j

then finally it moves towards west for 50 min

d_3 = -50 \hat i

Now the total displacement of the train is given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = (40 + 15.3 - 50)\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

d = 5.3\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

now total time duration of the motion is given as

T = 40 min + 20 min + 50 min

T = 1.83 h

now average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{5.3\hat i + 12.8\hat j}{1.83}

v_{avg} = 2.89\hat i + 6.99\hat j

Part a)

magnitude of the average velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{2.89^2 + 6.99^2}

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

Direction of the velocity is given as

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta = \frac{6.99}{2.89}

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East

A 4-kg object falls vertically a distance of 5 m. its potential energy has changed by approximately how much?
Brums [2.3K]
Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen

Neglect air resistance.

The PE (potential energy) is 
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J

The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall. 
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J

Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.50 mT. The angular momentu
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of electron mvR = 6 x 10⁻²⁵  Js

Magnetic field B = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T

radius of circular path R = mv / Bq

where m is mass , v is velocity and q is charge on electron

R² = mvR / Bq

R² = 6 x 10⁻²⁵ / 2.5 x 10⁻³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 1.5 x 10⁻³

R = 3.87 x 10⁻² m

mvR = 6 x 10⁻²⁵

v = 6 x 10⁻²⁵  / mR

= 6 x 10⁻²⁵  / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x 3.87 x 10⁻²

= .17 x 10⁸

= 17 x 10⁶ m/s

Your friend, Tim, is playing with his sled. He ties a rope to his sled and attaches it to Lar's snowmobile. Tim has a mass of 71
kykrilka [37]

The maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the rope, m = 71 kg
  • Tension on the rope, T = 220 N
  • Coefficient of kinetic friction, = 0.1
  • Time of motion, t = 8 s

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>
  • Newton's second law of motion states that, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

The net force on Tim is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T - \mu _k F_n = ma\\\\T - \mu _k F_n = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\T - \mu_k mg = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\t(\frac{T - \mu_k mg}{m} )= v\\\\8 (\frac{220 \ -\  0.1 \times 71 \times 9.8}{71} ) =v \\\\ 16.95 \ m/s = v

Thus, the maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.
