An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) whi

le returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8 km at 50 o north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction must he now travel to reach base camp

Answer:

Part a)

d_2 = 5.02 km

Part b)

\theta = 4.33 degree South of West

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the explorer while return to camp is given as

d = 7.8 km at an angle 50 degree North of East

so it is given as

d = 7.8 cos50 \hat i + 7.8 sin50 \hat j

so here we have

d_1 = 5.01\hat i + 5.98 \hat j

so now we need the resultant displacement of 5.6 km due North

so we can say

d = d_1 + d_2

5.6 \hat j = 5.01\hat i + 5.98 \hat j + d_2

d_2 = -5.01\hat i - 0.38\hat j

so magnitude of the displacement is

d_2 = \sqrt{5.01^2 + 0.38^2}

d_2 = 5.02 km

Part b)

Direction of the displacement is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{-0.38}{-5.01}

\theta = 4.33 degree South of West

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does
Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

  • μ is coefficient of static friction
  • Fs is frictional force
  • F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

What type of acceleration does an object moving with constant speed in a circular path experience?Select one:A) constant acceler
olga_2 [115]

ANSWER:

D) centripetal acceleration.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.

A motor uses motion in a magnetic field to produce an electric current. true or false
irinina [24]

Well, that's a nice, concise description, but it applies to a
generator, not a motor.  A motor does exactly the opposite.
It uses an electric current to produce motion in a magnetic field.

Sadly, the statement is false.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
spayn [35]

The magnitude of the electric field can be calculated using the equation

E = \frac{F}{q}, where F is the Force acting on the proton and q is the charge of the proton.

We know that the charge of the proton is q = 1.6 x 10^{-19}  C

We have to calculate the Force first.

We know that F = ma from Newton's 2nd law, where m is the mass of the proton and a is the acceleration.

We know that the mass of the proton m = (1.67) X 10^{-27}  kg

So it turns out that we have to calculate acceleration before anything else.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we make use of the following data from the question:

Initial Velocity of the proton V_{i}  = 0

Distance traveled  D = 1.70 cm = 0.017 m

Time taken for the travel between the plates t = (1.48) X 10^{-6}  s

Acceleration a = ?

Using the equation, D = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, we get

Knowing that initial velocity is 0, the equation reduces to D = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Rearranging the equation so as to make a the subject of the formula, we have

a = \frac{2D}{t^{2} }

Plugging in the numbers and simplifying gives us a = 1.5 x 10^{10}   m/s^{2}

We can now calculate the Force using F = ma

Plugging in the known values, we get F = 2.5 x 10^{-17}  N

Using this, we can calculate E through the equation E = \frac{F}{q}

Plugging the numbers and simplifying gets us E = 156.25 N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor is 156.25 N/C


B) To calculate the Final Velocity of the proton, we can make use of the equation

V_{f}  = V_{i}  + at

Plugging the numbers in and simplifying gets us V_{f}  = (2.22)  *  10^{4}  m/s
