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

Monochromatic light of a given wavelength is incident on a metal surface. However, no photoelectrons are emitted. If electrons a
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Light of a shorter wavelength should be used.

Explanation:

This is studied in the phenomenon called photoelectric effect, in which light is able to release electrons from a metal, said electrons are called photoelectrons .

The experiments that have been carried out show that <u>increasing  or decreasing the intensity of the light will not cause the photoelectrons to be emitted</u>, what will cause the photoelectrons to be emitted is to increase the frequency of the incident light.

And a higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength according to the equation:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

(where f is frequency, c the speed of light, and \lambda the wavelength)

So the answer is that the wavelength of the light must be shortened to cause the emission of electrones.

A penny is dropped from the Statue of Liberty
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

a) The velocity is 2.94m/s

b) 0.441

Explanation:

a) Assume gravity is 9.8m/s^2

Use the equation below to solve for the velocity at 0.30 seconds

vf=vi+at,

vf =unknown velocity  vi= initial velocity vi=0m/s  a= 9.8m/s^2 t=0.30seconds

Step 1: Substitute the variables with the knowns

vf=0m/s+(9.8m/s^2)*0.30seconds

Step 2: Solve

vf=2.94m/s

b)

Use the equation below to solve for the displacement at 0.30 seconds

x=vit+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Step 1: Substitute the same variables with the knowns

x=\frac{1}{2}*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.30seconds)^{2}

Note that vi*t=0 as vi=0m/s

Step 2: Solve

x=0.441m

pishuonlain [190]
When I find a problem like this, I find it helpful to think about what I know and what equation will help me.

The question tells us the frequency of the wave (5 \times 10^{-9}) Hz. We want to work out the wavelength. What equation links these two quantities?

Wave Speed = Frequency x Wavelength
(we know all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum)

(3 \times 10^8) = (5 \times 10^{-9}) \times \lambda
and then divide by (5 \times 10^{-9}) to get the wavelength.

Wavelength = 6 \times 10^{16} m<u />

In which of the following substances would convection most likely occur?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Air and ice

Explanation:

convection, process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.

Everyday Examples of Convection:

radiator - A radiator puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

steaming cup of hot tea - The steam you see when drinking a cup of hot tea indicates that heat is being transferred into the air.

ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.
