Answer:

Magnitude of displacement = 2.07 km

Magnitude of average velocity = 1.17 kmph

Explanation:

Let east represent positive x axis and north represent positive y axis.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west.

1.93 km due wast

           s ₁ = 1.93 i km

1.03 km due south

           s₂ = -1.03 j km

3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west

           s₃ = -3.84 cos 52.8 i + 3.84 sin 52.8 j = -2.32 i + 3.06 j km

Total displacement

          s = s ₁+  s₂+ s₃ = 1.93 i - 1.03 j -2.32 i + 3.06 j = -0.39 i + 2.03 j

  Magnitude of displacement, =\sqrt{(-0.39)^2+2.03^2}=2.07km

Time taken = 1.771 hour

Magnitude of average velocity, =\frac{2.07}{1.771}=1.17km/hr

mihalych1998 [28]
We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

An electron is accelerated within a particle accelerator using a 100 MV electric potential. The 100 MeV electron moves along an
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The length of the tube is 3.92 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential = 100 MV

Length = 4 m

Energy = 100 MeV

We need to calculate the value of \gamma

Using formula of relativistic energy

E=m_{0}c^2(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

Put the value into the formula

1.6\times10^{-15}= 9.1\times`10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)=\dfrac{1.6\times10^{-15}}{9.1\times10^{-31}\times9\times10^{16}}

Here, \gamma-1=(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-1)

\gamma-1=0.01953

\gamma=0.01953+1

\gamma=1.01953

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of length

L'=\dfrac{L}{\gamma}

Put the value into the formula

L'=\dfrac{4}{1.01953}

L'=3.92\ m

Hence, The length of the tube is 3.92 m.

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.
