Let's take east and west to be positive and negative, respectively, and north and south to be positive and negative, respectively. Then in terms of vectors (using ijk notation), the car first moves 200 km west,

r = (-200 km) j

then 80 km southwest,

s = (-80/√2 km) i + (-80/√2 km) j

so that its total displacement is

r + s = (-80/√2 km) i + ((-200 - 80/√2) km) j

r + s ≈ (-56.6 km) i + (-256.6 km) j

This vector has magnitude

√((-56.6 km)² + (-256.6 km)²) ≈ 262.7 km

and direction θ such that

tan(θ) = (-256.6 km) / (-56.6 km) ==> θ ≈ -102.4º

relative to east, or about 12.4º west of south.

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball $v_1=25m/sec$

And velocity after rebound $v_2=-19m/sec$

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to $=m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec$ ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

Calculate the work done by a 47N force pushing a pencil against a force of 23 N

stira [4]

I believe the answer would be 24N
Explanation: Because the forces are going against each other, in order to calculate the work done we need to subtract them. 47-23=24

A 0.45 kg football traveling at a speed of 22 m/s is caught by a stationary receiver. If the football comes to a rest in the rec

joja [24]

Answer:

0.9Ns

Explanation:

Impulse formula is expressed as;

Impulse = Ft = m(v-u)

Impulse = m(v-u)

m is the mass of football = 0.45kg

v is the final velocity = 22m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

Impulse = 0.45(22-0)

Impulse = 0.45 * 22

Impulse = 0.9Ns

Hence the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the receiver by the ball is 0.9Ns

Waves travel along a 100-m length of string which has a mass of 55 g and is held taut with a tension of 75 N. What is the speed

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

$v=369.27\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The speed of the waves in a string is related with the tension and mass per unit length of the string, as follows:

$v=\sqrt\frac{T}{\mu}$

First, we calculate the mass per unit length:

$\mu=\frac{m}{L}\\\mu=\frac{55*10^{-3}kg}{100m}\\\mu=5.5*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{m}$

Now, we calculate the speed of the waves:

$v=\sqrt\frac{75N}{5.5*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{m}}\\v=369.27\frac{m}{s}$
