ter traveling in a straight line for 3.1 km, they stop and discover that they have been traveling 25° north of east, because their guide misread his compass. What is the direction (relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?

Answer:\theta =49.76^{\circ} North of east

Explanation:

Given

Research station is 9.6 km away in 42^{\circ}North of east

after travelling 3.1 km 25^{\circ} north of east

Position vector of safari after 3.1 km is

r_2=3.1cos25\hat{i}+3.1sin25\hat{j}

Position vector if had traveled correctly is

r_0=9.6cos42\hat{i}+9.6sin42\hat{j}

Now applying triangle law  of vector addition we can get the required vector(r_1)

r_1+r_2=r_0

r_1=(9.6cos42-3.1cos25)\hat{i}+(9.6sin42-3.1sin25)\hat{j}

r_1=4.325\hat{i}+5.112\hat{j}

Direction is given by

tan\theta =\frac{y}{x}=\frac{5.112}{4.325}

\theta =49.76^{\circ}

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.

a skinny girl devours food that is equivalent to 600 kcal, as she is anorexic she repents and wants to lose twice as many calori
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in lifting the weight once = mgh

= 20 x 9.8 x (1.9+1.7)

= 705.6 J  

= 705.6 / 4.2 calorie

= 168 cals

Total energy to be spent = 600 x 10³ cals

No of times weight is required to be lifted

= 600 x 10³ / 168

= 3.57  x 10³ times

Total time to be taken = 2 x 3.57 x 10³

= 7.14 x 10³ s

=119 minutes .

PROVE THAT G = GM/R² WHERE THE SYMBOLS HAS THEIR USUAL MEANINGS<br>​
butalik [34]

Answer:

g=GM/R^2

Universal Gravutation Constant:

f=GM×m/R^2

Force can be also expressed as

f=m×g

so,

mg=GMxm/R^2

The m gets cancelled so

g=GM/R^2
