Answer:

displacement = ( 4.045 km , 72 degrees )

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius if the circular path r = 2.5 km

- Couple hikes 70 % of the circular track.

Find:

What is the displacement for the couple's hiking trip? Give the direction in terms of an angle measured CCW from the Easterly direction.

Solution:

- The start point of the journey is west and due south in a circular direction.

- First we will determine the 70 % of the circumference of the circular path traveled. Using the arc length S formula:

                                       S = 0.70* ( 2*pi*r) = 7/5 pi*r

- The arc length calculated above is the distance traveled. However, we are interested in the "displacement" which is the shortest distance from start point to 70% of the track.

- The total amount of angle swept between the two points in radians is:

                                        S = r*Q

                                        Q = S / r = 7/5*pi

- The remaining angle angle to complete the full circle:

                                        Q' = 2*p - Q = 2*p -7/5*pi

                                        Q' = 0.6*pi.

- The displacement between two points can be calculated using sine rule as follows:

                     sin(Q') / displacement = sin (0.2*pi) / r

                     displacement = r*sin(Q') / sin (0.2*pi)

                     displacement = 2.5*sin(0.6*pi) / sin (0.2*pi)

                    displacement = 4.045 km

- The position with respect to the East direction is:

                                        pi - Q' = pi - 0.6*pi = 0.4*pi

Convert into degrees:               0.4*pi * 180 /pi = 72 degrees

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.420 with the floor. If
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The distance is  s=  30.3 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  coefficient of static friction is  \mu_s  =  0.42

    The  initial speed of the train is  u =  57 \  km /hr = 15.8 \ m/s

   

For the crate not to slide the friction force must be equal to the force acting on the train i.e

       -F_f  =  F

The negative sign shows that the two forces are acting in opposite direction

=>   mg  *  \mu_s  =  ma

=>   -g  *  \mu_s  = a

=>   a =  -9.8 *  0.420

=>   a =  -4.116 m/s^2

From equation of motion

  v^2  = u^2  +  2as

Here  v =  0 m/s since it came to a stop

=>   s=  \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{ 2 a}

 =>   s=  \frac{0 -(15.8)^2 }{ - 2 * 4.116}

=>     s=  30.3 \ m

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

Arocket with an initial velocity of 20 m/s another engine that gives it an acceleration of 4 m/s ^ 2 over 10 secondsHow far did
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

50m

   

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 20m/s

Acceleration  = 4m/s²

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the rocket  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below;

   

     v² = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

  final velocity = 0

 Insert the parameters and solve;

  0²  = 20² + 2 x 4 x s

   -400  = 8s

         s  = 50m

   Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current
larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A
