Answer:

The resultant vector \vec R = \vec A+\vec B is given by \vec R = 3.196\,\hat{i}-0.464\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[m].

Explanation:

Let \vec A = 6\cdot (\cos 30^{\circ}\,\hat{i}+\sin 30^{\circ}\,\hat{j}) and \vec B = 4\cdot (-\sin 30^{\circ}\,\hat{i}-\cos 30^{\circ}\,\hat{j}), both measured in meters. The resultant vector \vec R is calculated by sum of components. That is:

\vec R = \vec A+\vec B (Eq. 1)

\vec R = 6\cdot (\cos 30^{\circ}\,\hat{i}+\sin 30^{\circ}\,\hat{j})+4\cdot (-\sin 30^{\circ}\,\hat{i}-\cos 30^{\circ}\,\hat{j})

\vec R = (6\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}-4\cdot \sin 30^{\circ})\,\hat{i}+(6\cdot \sin 30^{\circ}-4\cdot \cos 30^{\circ})\,\hat{j}

\vec R = 3.196\,\hat{i}-0.464\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[m]

The resultant vector \vec R = \vec A+\vec B is given by \vec R = 3.196\,\hat{i}-0.464\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[m].

A pipe of length 6.8 m is closed at one end and sustains a standing wave at its second overtone. determine the distance between
r-ruslan [8.4K]
For a pipe closed at one end, the second overtone is the 3rd natural frequency as shown in the diagram.

For the fundamental frequency,
λ = 4L
where
λ = wavelength
L = the length of the tube

For the second overtone (3rd frequency)
λ = (4/3)L

Because L = 6.8 m, therefore
λ = (4/3)*(6.8 m) = 9.0667 m

The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is λ/2, which is
9.0667/2 = 4.533 m

Answer: 4.5 m

How old is a bone that has 12.5% of the original amount radioactive carbon 14 remaining?
nlexa [21]
Nuclear decay formula is N(t)=N₀*2^-(t/T), where N(t) is the amount of nuclear material in some moment t, N₀ is the original amount of nuclear material, t is time and T is the half life of the material, in this case carbon 14. In our case N(t)=12.5% of N₀ or N(t)=0.125*N₀, T=5730 years and we need to solve for t:

0.125*N₀=N₀*2^-(t/T), N₀ cancels out and we get:

0.125=2^-(t/T), 

ln(0.125)=ln(2^-(t/T))

ln(0.125)=-(t/T)*ln(2), we divide by ln(2),

ln(0.125)/ln(2)=-t/T, multiply by T,

{ln(0.125)/ln(2)}*T=-t, divide by (-1) and plug in T=5730 years,

{ln(0.125)/[-ln(2)]}*5730=t

t=3*5730=17190 years.

The bone is t= 17190 years old.

Velocity, pretty much same as speed
Distance no, because it's getting closer

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period Δt = 1.50 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the
Andru [333]

Answer:

Δω = -5.4 rad/s

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

           Initial angular velocity = ωi = 2.70 rad/s

           Final angular velocity = ωf = -2.70 rad/s (negative sign is  

           due to the movement in opposite direction)

           Change in time period = Δt = 1.50 s

<u>Required</u>:

           Change in angular velocity = Δω = ?

           Average angular acceleration = αav = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

          <u>Angular velocity (Δω):</u>

               Δω = ωf - ωi

               Δω = -2.70 - 2.70

               Δω = -5.4 rad/s.

          <u> Average angular acceleration (αav):</u>

               αav = Δω/Δt

               αav = -5.4/1.50

              αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Since, the angular velocity is decreasing from 2.70 rad/s (in counter clockwise direction) to rest and then to -2.70 rad/s (in clockwise direction) so, the change in angular velocity is negative.

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped  = 84m

Displacement  = 84m due east

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo  = ?

Velocity of kangaroo  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time }   = \frac{84}{7}  = 12m/s

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}   = \frac{84}{7}   = 12m/s due east
