A man goes for a walk, starting from the origin of an xyz coordinate system, with the xy plane horizontal and the x axis eastwar

d. Carrying a bad penny, he walks 1300 m east, 2400 m north, and then drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high
(a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the penny from start to its landing point?
(b) When the man returns to the origin, what is the magnitude of his displacement for the return trip?

Answer:

Explanation:

d1 = 1300 m east

d2 = 2400 m north

d3 = 640 m downward

(a)

The displacement of penny is given by

\overrightarrow{d}=\overrightarrow{d_{1}}+\overrightarrow{d_{2}}+\overrightarrow{d_{3}}

\overrightarrow{d}=1300\widehat{i}+2400 \widehat{j}-640\widehat{k}

(b) For the return journey of man, the displacement is given by

\overrightarrow{d}=-\overrightarrow{d_{1}}-\overrightarrow{d_{2}}

\overrightarrow{d}=-1300\widehat{i}-2400 \widehat{j}

The magnitude of the displacement is given by

d=\sqrt{1300^{2}+2400^{2}}=2729.47 m

<h2>a) Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k</h2><h2>b) Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) He walks 1300 m east, 2400 m north, and then drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high.

1300 m east = 1300 i

2400 m north = 2400 j

Drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high = -640 k

Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k

b) Displacement of man for return trip = -1300 i - 2400 j

    \texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{(-1300)^2+(-2400)^2}=2729.47m

    Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m

A car of mass m, traveling at constant speed, rides over the top of a round hill. How do the normal force of the road on the car
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The normal force will be lower than the gravitational force acting on the car. Therefore the answer is N < mg, which is <em>option B</em>.

Explanation:

Over a round hill, the centripetal force acting toward the the radius of the hill supports the gravitational force (mg) of the car. This notion can be expressed mathematically as follows:

At the top of a round hill

Normal force = Gravitational force - centripetal force

At the foot of a round hill

Normal Force = centripetal force + Gravitational force

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).
dolphi86 [110]

               (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

         =    (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60)          m³/sec

         =                  0.000631  m³/sec

Margaret [11]

Answer:

0.17 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 0.15 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.15 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.17 s
