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

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N

pentagon [3]

Answer:

(a) F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N

(b) a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2

Explanation:

Parameter given:

Electric field, E = 2.5 * 10^4 N/C

(a) Electric force is given (in terms of electric field) as a product of electric charge and electric field.

Mathematically:

F = qE

Electric charge, q, of an electron = - 1.602 * 10^{-19} C

F = -1.602 * 10^{-19} * 2.5 * 10^4\\\\\\F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N

(b) This electrostatic force causes the electron to accelerate with an equivalent force:

F = -ma

where m = mass of an electron

a = acceleration of electron

(Note: the force is negative cos the direction of the force is opposite the direction of the electron)

Therefore:

-ma =  -4.01 * 10^{-15} N\\\\\\a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-m}

Mass, m, of an electron = 9.11 * 10^{-31} kg

=> a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-9.11 * 10^{-31}}\\\\\\a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2

The acceleration of the electron is 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2
