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
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Who showed that our universe is heliocentric—the planets of the solar system revolve around the sun? Johannes Kepler Isaac Newto
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer from Poland, who was born on the 19th of February in the year 1473. He played a great role in the field of modern astronomy.

He was the person who contributed to the heliocentric theory. This theory describes the position of the sun in the middle of the universe, and all the planets move around the sun. This theory was initially not accepted, and after about a century it was widely accepted.

This theory describes the present-day motion of the planets around the sun in the solar system. This theory replaced the geocentric theory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev
Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s
