Mark Watney begins his day 15 km West and 25 km North of his Mars Habitat. a. Set up a co-ordinate system (draw labeled axis and
tickmarks showing the scale) and draw a vector representing the initial position of Mark Watney. b. Mark spends his day driving his Mars Rover towards Schiaparelli Crater and manages to make it an additional 20 km West but has to go around a hill so ended up 5 km South of his starting point for the day. Draw a vector representing Mark's total position change for the day. c. Using vector addition find Mark's position relative to the Mars Habitat. Give both the numerical description of the vector and show it on your plot.

Answer:
a, b) part a and b on diagram attached
c) sf = -35 i + 20 j
35 km West and 20 km North
Explanation:
For part a and b refer to the attached co-ordinate system:
Note: unit vector i is in West/East direction and unit vector j is in North/South direction.
si = -15 i + 25 j
sf-si = -20 i - 5 j
Hence,
Mark relative position from habitat sf = si + sf/i
sf = ( -15 i + 25 j ) + ( -20 i - 5 j )
sf = -35 i + 20 j
35 km West and 20 km North

Answer:
0.56 atm
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the number of moles of the gas.
We know that
m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas
is the molar mass of the carbon dioxide
So, the number of moles of the gas is
Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas equation:
where
p is the pressure
is the volume
n = 0.023 mol is the number of moles
is the gas constant
is the temperature of the gas
Solving the equation for p, we find
And since we have
the pressure in atmospheres is

Explanation:
<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>
Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by
Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by
We are given the function for y
Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.
The velocity is
And the acceleration is
The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4
Answer:
a = 3.924 m/s²
Explanation:
I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.
Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,
EFy = 0;
N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0
N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g
Where;
N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels
m_p is the mass of the driver
m_v is the mass of the vehicle
g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;
N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81
N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)
Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;
EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a
So,
μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a
Thus,
0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a
0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a
N1 + N2 = 1150a
From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N
Thus,
1150a = 4512.6N
a = 4512.6/1150
a = 3.924 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²
