Problem 1: Problem 1.58 in Young & Freedman A plane leaves the airport in Galisteo and flies 170 km at 68.0° east of north;

then it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.0° south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall convert the displacement in vector form using unit vector i and j

consider east as x axis and north as y axis

170 km at 68.0° east of north

D₁ = 170 sin68 i + 170cos 68 j

= 157 i + 63.68 j

230 km at 36.0° south of east

D₂ = 230 cos36 i - 230 sin 36 j

= 186 i - 135.2 j

Resultant Displacement = D₁ +D₂

= 157 i + 63.68 j  + 186 i - 135.2 j

= 343 i  - 71.52 j

Resultant magnitude

= √ ( 343² + 71.52²

= 350 km

Angle

= tan⁻¹ ( - 71.52 / 343 )

12⁰ south of east .

Which nanotechnology product would most likely help the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: OLEDs

Explanation:

The nanotechnology uses the surface of the carbon materials to generate the electricity. The evaporation of water on the surface of carbon materials helps in generation of electrical energy due to generation of thermal energy.

OLEDs can be defined as solid-state devices that comprises of organic molecules like carbon that will create electricity by exposing a surface for generation of thermal energy.

A packing crate slides down an inclined ramp at constant velocity. Thus we can deduce thatA) a frictional force is acting on itb
torisob [31]

Answer:

A) a frictional force is acting on it

Explanation:

The crate is sliding down the inclined ramp at constant velocity: constant velocity means zero acceleration, a = 0. According to Newton's second law:

F = ma

this also means that the net force acting along the direction of the slope is zero.

Without frictional force, there would be only one force acting along this direction: the component of the weight of the crane parallel to the slope, acting downward:

W_p = mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the incline. Therefore, the net force along this direction would not be zero. In order to have a net force of zero, there must be another force acting upward on the crate: and the only force that is possibly acting on the crate against its direction of motion is the frictional force, whose magnitude must be equal to W_p, in order to produce a net force of zero (and therefore, a zero acceleration).
