A kayaker moves 26 meters southward, then 18 meters

Physics

Svetllana [295]3 years ago

Total distance: 56 meters. Magnitude and direction of displacement: 20 meters South.

Explanation:

The term distance refers to space between one point and other, or the total space a body or object covered while moving. In the case presented, this can be calculated by adding the partial distances given. This means the total distance is  56 meters as 26 meters + 18 meters + 12 meters = 56 meters.

On the other hand, displacement considers the distance from the initial position to the final position, and the direction of movement. This means partial distances should not be added but each movement should be considered according to the direction. The process is shown below:

-The first movement was 26 meters southward; this means by the end of this movement the distance between the initial position was 26 meters south.

- The second movement was 18 northward; this means the kayaker moved 18 meters towards the position. This changes the displacement to 8 meters South as 26 meters south - 18 meters north = 8 meters to the South.

-The last movement was 12 meters sound; this means the kayaker increased the distance from the original position 8 meters to the South + 12 meters to the South = 20 meters South (total displacement.)

Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the x-axis fromx=0 to x=a. A positive point charge q is located on the positive
dybincka [34]

Answer:

a. b- x= y

dx = -dy

b. F = \frac{-kQqi}{r (a+r)}

c.  F = \frac{-kQqi}{r^{2} }

Explanation:

a. x components:

dE = \frac{kdq}{(a+r-x^{2}) } \\

     = \frac{kQdx}{(a(a+r-x)^2}

Integrating and solving gives:

b- x= y

dx = -dy

b. the force is given by the equation derived from (a.):

F = \frac{-kQqi}{r (a+r)}

c. Given that r>>a, the expression becomes:

F = \frac{-kQqi}{r^{2} }

Explanation:

When the size of the charge distribution is less than the distance to the deviation point of the charge then the charge distribution would produce the same effect such as a linear charge.

When an electric stove element is hot enough, it gives off a dull red glow. When it cools to the point that it no longer glows,
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.

61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Part a)

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4

here we have

P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W

P_2 = 100 W

P_3 = 60 W

P_4 = 3 W

P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3

P = 493 W

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

110\times i = 493

i = 4.48 A

now resistance of transmission line

R = \frac{\rho L}{A}

R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}

R = 5.23 \ohm

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48)^2(5.23)

P = 105 W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493

i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)

P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s
