An airplane undergoes the following displacements, all at the same altitude: First, it flies 59.0 km in a direction 30.0° east o

f north. Next, it flies 58.0 km due south. Finally, it flies 100 km 30.0° north of west. Use components to determine how far the airplane ends up from its starting point.A) 70.1 km B) 71.5 km C) 68.7 km D) 74.4 km E) 73 km

Answer:

B) 71.5 [km]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes.

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes. also for a greater understanding of the angles, you should look at the attached image, which contains the orientations for each angle (clockwise or counterclockwise).

<u>59.0 km in a direction 30.0° east of north</u>

<u />

d_{1x}= 59*sin(30) = 29.5[km]\\d_{1y}= 59*cos(30) = 51.09[km]

<u>58.0 km due south</u>

<u />

d_{2y} = - 58 [km]\\

<u>It flies 100 km 30.0° north of west</u>

<u />

<u />d_{3x}= - 100*cos(30) = -86.6[km]\\d_{3y} = 100*sin(30)= 50 [km]<u />

<u />

Now we sum algebraically the components

d_{x}=29.5-86.6 = -57.1[km]\\d_{y}=51.09 -58+50=43.09[km]\\\\

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the magnitude of the displacement.

d = \sqrt{(57.1)^{2} +(43.09)^{2} } \\d= 71.53[km]

What will happen two temperatures if you increase particle motion
nalin [4]

If the temperature is increased the particles gain more kinetic energy or vibrate faster. This means that they move faster and take more space.

What is energy? Where does it come from? What does it do? Explain in 5 or more sentences please! :)
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions
