Answer:

unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

Explanation:

Given:

                            v =  (-23.2, -104.4, 46.4) m/s

Above expression describes spacecraft's velocity vector v.

Find:

Find unit vector in the direction of spacecraft velocity v.

Solution:

Step 1: Compute magnitude of velocity vector.

                            mag (v) = sqrt ( 23.2^2 + 104.4^2 + 46.4^2)

                            mag (v) = 116.58 m/s

Step 2: Compute unit vector unit (v)

                            unit (v) = vec (v) / mag (v)

                            unit (v) = [ -23.2 i -104.4 j + 46.4 k ] / 116.58

                            unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

A sound wave traveling at 343 m/s is emitted by the foghorn of a tugboat. an echo is heard 2.80 s later. how far away is the ref
Nostrana [21]
The echo is heard 2.80 s later, this means this is the time the sound takes to travel to the reflecting object and then back to us. So, during this time, the sound wave has covered the distance L between us and the object twice:
S=2L
The speed of the sound wave is: v=343 m/s, and since it is moving by uniform motion, we can find the distance covered by the wave using
S=vt=(343 m/s)(2.80 s)=960 m
And we said this corresponds to twice the distance between us and the reflecting object, so:
L= \frac{S}{2} = \frac{960 m}{2} =480 m
so, the object is 480 meters away.

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with
lord [1]
Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do
Flauer [41]
<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

<em><u>Find the work done:</u></em>

work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule

<em><u>Find the time taken</u></em>

power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work
