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

In a certain chemical process, a lab technician supplies 292 J of heat to a system. At the same time, 68.0 J of work are done on
vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat supplied to a system, Q = 292 J

Work done on the system by its surroundings, W = 68 J

We need to find the increase in the internal energy of the system. It can be given by first law of thermodynamics. It is given by :

dE=dQ+dW\\\\dE=292\ J+68\ J\\\\dE=360\ J

So, the increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Photographs of many young stars show long jets of material apparently being ejected from their poles.
Rudiy27

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

Researchers have detected numerous jets of gas ejected from poles of young stars and planetary nebulae.

By examining images of hydrogen molecules excited at infrared wavelengths, scientists have been able to see through the gas and dust in the Milky Way, in order to observe the most distant targets. These goals are normally hidden from view and many of them have never been seen before.

The entire study area covers approximately 1,450 times the size of the full moon, or the equivalent of an image of 95 gigapixels. The survey reveals jets emanating from proto-stars and planetary nebulas, as well as remnants of supernovae, the illuminated edges of vast clouds of gas and dust, and the warm regions that surround massive stars and their associated groups of smaller stars.
