Answer:

  • The magnitude of the vector \vec{C} is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)

So, for our vectors:

\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ ,  ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}

|\vec{C}| =107.76 m

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

In a mixture of the gases oxygen and helium, which statement is valid: (a) the helium molecules will be moving faster than the o
mixer [17]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Given:

In a mixture of the gases oxygen and helium, which statement is valid:

(a) the helium molecules will be moving faster than the oxygen molecules, on average

(b) both kinds of molecules will be moving at the same speed

(c) the oxygen molecules will, on average, be moving more rapidly than the helium molecules

(d) the kinetic energy of the helium will exceed that of the oxygen

(e) none of the above

Solution:

- We will use Boltzmann distribution to answer this question. The root mean square speed of molecules of a gas gives the average speed as follows:

                                        V_rms = sqrt ( 3 k T / m )

- Where, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature and m is the mass of a single molecule of a gas.

- In general, a mixture has a constant equilibrium temperature T_eq.

- So the v_rms is governed by the mass of a single molecule.

- We know that mass of single molecule of Oxygen is higher than that of Helium molecule. Hence, the relation of mass is inversely proportional to square of root mean speed. So the helium molecules will be moving faster than the oxygen molecules.

- Note: The kinetic energy of the mixture remains constant because it is due to the interaction of the molecules within i.e oxygen and helium. Which makes the kinetic energy independent of mass.

                                     E_k = 0.5*m*v_rms^2

                                     E_k = 0.5*m*(3*k*T/ m )

                                    E_k = 0.5*3*k*T

Hence, E_k is only the function of Temperature which we already established to remain constant at equilibrium.

Why is atmospheric pressure greater at low elevations and less at higher elevations?
ss7ja [257]
Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green at t=0, a truck with a constant speed passes the car with a 20m/
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

At t = (70 / 3) \; {\rm s} (approximately 23.3 \; {\rm s}.)

Explanation:

Note that the acceleration of the car between t = 0\; {\rm s} and t = 20\; {\rm s} (\Delta t = 20\; {\rm s}) is constant. Initial velocity of the car was v_{0} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, whereas v_{1} = 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} at t = 20\; {\rm s}\!. Hence, at t = 20\; {\rm s}\!\!, this car would have travelled a distance of:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(v_{1} - v_{0})\, \Delta t}{2} \\ &= \frac{(35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \times (20\; {\rm s})}{2} \\ &= 350\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

At t = 20\; {\rm s}, the truck would have travelled a distance of x = v\, t = 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \times 20\; {\rm s} = 400\; {\rm m}.

In other words, at t = 20\; {\rm s}, the truck was 400\; {\rm m} - 350\; {\rm m} = 50\; {\rm m} ahead of the car. The velocity of the car is greater than that of the truck by 35\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} - 20\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 15 \; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}. It would take another (50\; {\rm m}) / (15\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) = (10/3)\; {\rm s} before the car catches up with the truck.

Hence, the car would catch up with the truck at t = (20 + (10/3))\; {\rm s} = (70 / 3)\; {\rm s}.

The equation that we can use in this case is:

y = v0 t + 0.5 a t^2

where, y is the height, v0 is initial velocity = 0, t is time, a is acceleration so that:

y = 0 + 0.5 * (300 m/s^2) * (7 s)^2
