Mrs. Smith does her daily chores. She walks 5 m to the laundry room and then turns around and walks -14 m to the kitchen. The wh

ole process takes her 11 minutes. What was her average velocity for these events?
1.48 m/s
0.212 m/s
-0.136 m/s
-0.0075 m/s

A spy is running across the bridge of an aircraft carrier. The spy is moving with a velocity of - 4 m/s relative to the carrier. However, the aircraft carrier is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s. There is a person standing stationary on a beach watching the event. What will be the velocity of the spy according to the person on the beach?
8 m/s
6 m/s
-4 m/s
-7 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity vs speed and distance vs displacement is a pretty important.  Distance and speed have no direction while displacement and velocity have a direction.

In other words, taking the first example, going 5m one way and then 14 the other would make the total distance 19m, while displacement would be -9m from where you started.  

Anyway, velocity is displacement divided by time.  For the first one I already got that the displacement is -9m, and the time is 11 minutes.  It's worth noting that the answers are all in m/s, so we should convert the minutes to seconds.  To do that multiply 11 minutes by (60 seconds/1 minute) so the minutes cancel out.  so 11*60 is 660 seconds.  Now, to find velocity we just divide.  -9m/660s = -.0136 Which... doesn't seem to be one of the options...

For the second part it gives two point of views.  If you were standing on the carrier, the spy would look like it was moving  4 m/s away from you, but the carrier itself is moving 12 m/s in the positive direction to an onlooker.  If it's hard to figure out try thinking what it would look like if the spy was just standing still.  it would look like they were moving -12 m/s if you were standing on the carrier.  Then if the spy was moving at say 1 m/s it would look like they were moving -11 m/s if you were standing on the carrier.  

Just keep that line of reasoning , where if it looks like the spy is moving -4 m/s from the carrier then the spy is moving 4 m/s slower than the carrier, so the spy is moving at 8 m/s

Pretty sure I got the first part right, so maybe a misprint from the question?

One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the flo
yuradex [85]

Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

What's is meant by relative motion?​
saveliy_v [14]

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object  when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is  greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.
