Which material would result in the least amount of energy transfer?

A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. On one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

$Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

Now, substituting the given information we have:

$alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

$\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)$

Hence, we have that the direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

During a tennis volley, a ball that arrives at a player at 40 m/s is struck by the racquet and returned at 40 m/s. The other pla

Butoxors [25]

Answer:Racquet force is twice of Player force

Explanation:

Given

ball arrives at a speed of $u=-40\ m/s$

ball returned with speed of $v=40\ m/s$

average Force imparted by racquet on the ball is given by

$F_{racquet}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

where $m=mass\ of\ ball$

$\Delta t=$ time of contact of ball with racquet

$F_{racquet}=\frac{m(40-(-40))}{\Delta t}$

$F_{racquet}=\frac{80m}{\Delta t}-----1$

When it land on the player hand its final velocity becomes zero and time of contact is same as of racquet

$F_{player}=\frac{m(0-40)}{\Delta t}$

$F_{player}=\frac{-40m}{\Delta t}-----2$

From 1 and 2 we get

$F_{racquet}=-2F_{player}$

Hence the magnitude of Force by racquet is twice the Force by player

What will occur if a resistor with high resistance is inserted into a circuit?

Anton [14]

If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is
$V \frac{R}{R+r}$
where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both. This is called a voltage divider

On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = f = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

The maximum speed is:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{f\cdot R}{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(7500\,N)\cdot (46\,m)}{1200\,kg} }$

$v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}$

Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe

Ede4ka [16]

The final velocity ( $v_1_f$ ) of the first astronaut will be greater than the final velocity of the second astronaut ( $v_2_f$ ) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

The given parameters;

Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
Mass of the ball, = m
Speed of the ball, = u
Final velocity of the first astronaut, = $v_f_1$
Final velocity of the second astronaut, = $v_f_2$

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f$

if v₂ > v₁, then $v_1_f > v_2_f$ , to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity ( $v_1_f$ ) of the first astronaut will be greater than the final velocity of the second astronaut ( $v_2_f$ ) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.
