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

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

$\theta =49.76^{\circ}$

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 6.0 oz. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Wh

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Explanation:

Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2

mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g

density = 2.70 g/cm^3

Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.

mass = volume x density

mass = area x thickness x density

170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70

t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.

What does deposition mean in a sedimentary formation

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Deposition means that all the sediments, soil, and rocks are all compressed (tightly pressed into each other) and create sedimentary rocks.

I hope this helps! :)

A particle moves in a straight line with the velocity function v ( t ) = sin ( w t ) cos 3 ( w t ) . find its position function

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

<h3>How to get the position equation of the particle?</h3>

Let the velocity of the particle is:

$$v(t)=\sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t)$

To get the position equation we just need to integrate the above equation:

$$f(t)=\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$$\mathrm{u}=\cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

Then:

$$d u=-\sin (\omega t) d t$

$\Rightarrow d t=-d u / \sin (\omega t)$

Replacing that in our integral we get:

$\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$-\int \frac{\sin (\omega t) * u^2 d u}{\sin (\omega t)}-\int u^2 d t=-\frac{u^3}{3}+c$

Where C is a constant of integration.

Now we remember that $u=\cos (\omega t)$

Then we have:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)}{3}+C$

To find the value of C, we use the fact that f(0) = 0.

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega * 0)}{3}+C=\frac{1}{3}+C=0$

C = -1 / 3

Then the position function is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

kondor19780726 [428]

I believe it goes as the following::

1) Waves transfer energy without moving particles

2) The two types of waves are longitudinal and transverse waves OR The two types of waves are mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Both are applicable and should be correct!
