Karen runs sets in basketball practice. She starts from a line runs 2.0 m, returns to the line, runs 4.0 m, to the line, runs 6.

0 m and on returning stops 1.0 in front the starting line. What is her distance and displacement?
A. distance = +23 m, displacement = 1 m
B. distance = + 1 m, displacement = 23 m
C. distance = 1 m, displacement = +23 m

D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m

Explanation:

Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:

- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction

- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.

In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:

distance = 2.0 m + 2.0 m+4.0 m+4.0 m +6.0 + 5.0 m=23.0 m

The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):

displacement = +1.0 m-0 m=+1 m

A frictionless toy car is placed on a ramp, which is inclined at an unknown angle with respect to the horizontal. Starting from
NikAS [45]

The final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • distance traveled by the car, s = 1.2 m
  • time of motion of the car, t = 0.67 s
  • initial velocity of the car, u = 0

The acceleration of the car is calculated as;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\1.2 = 0 + 0.5\times a\times (0.67)^2\\\\1.2 = 0.225a\\\\a = \frac{1.2}{0.225} \\\\a = 5.33 \ m/s^2

The final velocity of the toy car is calculated as;

v_f^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v_f^2 = 0 + 2\times 5.33 \times 1.2\\\\v_f^2 = 12.792\\\\v_f = \sqrt{12.792} \\\\v_f = 3.58 \ m/s

Thus, the final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$893

Explanation: the complete question should be

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893
