A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu

de and direction?
Physics

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

A body weighs 10newton in air and 9.5 in water. How will it weigh in alchohol if density 0.8gcm-³​
Katen [24]

Answer:

The weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of body in air, Wₐ = 10 N

The weight of the body in water, Wₓ = 9.5 N

The density of the alcohol, ρ = 0.8 g/cm³

                                                = 800 kg/m³

The weight of body in water = weight of object in air - weight of water displaced

                        9.5 N = 10 N - weight of water displaced

                       Weight of water displaced = 0.5 N

The mass of the displaced water, m = 0.5 / 9.8

                                                            = 0.051 kg

Therefore the volume of the water displaced,

                                              V = m / ρ

                                                  = 0.051 / 1000

                                                   = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ m³

<em>The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of alcohol displaced</em>

Therefore, the mass of the alcohol displaced, = V x ρ

                                                                             = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ x 800

                                                                             = 0.0405 kg

The weight of the alcohol displaced, w = 0.0405 x 9.8

                                                                    = 0.4 N

Therefore,

The weight of body in alcohol = weight of object in air - weight of alcohol displaced

                             W₀ = W - w

                                    = 10 N - 0.4 N

                                     = 9.6 N

Hence, the weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

A perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is not possible to eliminate
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D. Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. So a perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is impossible to eliminate frictional force. It can only be reduced

A spring-mass system has a spring constant of 3 Nm. A mass of 2 kg is attached to the spring, and the motion takes place in a vi
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question

The steady state response is u₂(t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}cos(3t + π/4)

of the form R·cos(ωt−δ) with R = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}, ω = 3 and δ = -π/4

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that the equation of motion is given by

m·u'' + γ·u' + k·u = F(t) where

m = mass = 2.00 kg

γ = Damping coefficient = 1

k = Spring constant = 3 N·m

F(t) = externally applied force = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)

Therefore we have 2·u'' + u' + 3·u = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)

The homogeneous equation 2·u'' + u' + 3·u is first solved as follows

2·u'' + u' + 3·u = 0 where putting the characteristic equation as

2·X² + X + 3 = 0 we have the solution given by \frac{-1+/-\sqrt{23} }{4} \sqrt{-1} =\frac{-1+/-\sqrt{23} }{4} i

This gives the general solution of the homogeneous equation as

u₁(t) = e^{(-1/4t)} (C_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) + C_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t)

For a particular equation of the form 2·u''+u'+3·u = 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t) which is in the form u₂(t) = A·cos(3·t) + B·sin(3·t)

Then u₂'(t) = -3·A·sin(3·t) + 3·B·cos(3·t) also u₂''(t) = -9·A·cos(3·t) - 9·B·sin(3·t) from which  2·u₂''(t)+u₂'(t)+3·u₂(t) = (3·B-15·A)·cos(3·t) + (-3·A-15·B)·sin(3·t). Comparing with the equation 27·cos(3·t)−18·sin(3·t)  we have

3·B-15·A = 27

3·A +15·B = 18

Solving the above linear system of equations we have

A = -1.5, B = 1.5 and  u₂(t) = A·cos(3·t) + B·sin(3·t) becomes 1.5·sin(3·t) - 1.5·cos(3·t)

u₂(t) = 1.5·(sin(3·t) - cos(3·t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}·cos(3·t + π/4)

The general solution is then  u(t) = u₁(t) + u₂(t)

however since u₁(t) = e^{(-1/4t)} (C_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) + C_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{23} }{4}t) ⇒ 0 as t → ∞ the steady state response = u₂(t) = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}·cos(3·t + π/4) which is of the form R·cos(ωt−δ) where

R = -\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}

ω = 3 and

δ = -π/4

You throw a rock upward. The rock is moving upward, but it is slowing down. If we define the ground as the origin, the position
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

positive, positive

You throw a rock upward. The rock is moving upward, but it is slowing down. If we define the ground as the origin, the position of the rock is positive and the velocity of the rock is positive

Explanation:

Given that the ground is defined as the origin.

The position of the rock is positive since the rock is thrown upward, the position also increases with time until it reaches the maximum height. Also, since the rock is thrown upward with the ground as the origin, the velocity of the rock is positive but the velocity reduces with time (change in height per unit time as the rock moves up is positive)
