Nuclear energy is more harmful to the environment than a coal-fired power plant because it produces more mercury, air pollution,

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.

A drunken sailor stumbles 580 meters north, 530 meters northeast, then 480 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(a)  1294.66 m

(b) 88.44°

Explanation:

d1 = 580 m North

d2 = 530 m North east

d3 = 480 m North west

(a) Write the displacements in vector forms

\overrightarrow{d_{1}}=580\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=530\left ( Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=374.77\widehat{i}+374.77\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=480\left ( - Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=-339.41\widehat{i}+339.41widehat{j}

The resultant displacement is given by

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

\overrightarrow{d}=\left ( 374.77-339.41 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 580+374.77+339.41 \right )\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d}=35.36\widehat{i}+1294.18\widehat{j}

magnitude of the displacement

d ={\sqrt{35.36^{2}+1294.18^{2}}}=1294.66 m

d = 1294.66 m

(b) Let θ be the angle from + X axis direction in counter clockwise

tan\theta =\frac{1294.18}{35.36}=36.6

θ = 88.44°

27b. You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 1000 km/h (280 m/s) when an engine falls off. Ignore air resistanc
jonny [76]

Answer:

8400m

Explanation:

The engine that falls off would have the same constant horizontal velocity as the airplane's when if falls off if we ignore air resistance. So it would have a horizontal velocity of 280m/s for 30seconds before it hits the ground.

Therefor the horizontal distance the engine travels during its fall is

280 * 30 = 8400m

Describe a well-known hypothesis that was discarded because it was found to be untrue.earth-centered model of the universe. the
polet [3.4K]
The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a

and for mB (descending):

T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a

T_A=T_B

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is 3.11m/s^2
