The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The map (in the attachment) shows Olivia's trip to the coffee shop. She gets on her bike at Loomis and then rides south 0.9mi to Broadway. She turns east onto Broadway, rides 0.8mi to where Broadway turns, and then continues another 1.4mi to the shop.

What is the magnitude of the total displacement of her trip?

Whta is the direction of the total displacement of her trip?

Answer: Magnitude = 2.6mi

              Direction: 54.65° east

Explanation: <u>Displacement</u> is the change in postition of a moving object.

There are a few ways to determine total displacement. For this case, the Perpendicular Components of a Vector method will be used.

For this method, total displacement is given by:

\Delta d_{t}=\sqrt{(\Delta d_{x})^{2}+(\Delta d_{y})^{2}}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{\Delta d_{y}}{\Delta d_{x}})

\Delta d_{x} is the x-component of total displacement and it is the sum of each individual x-components;

\Delta d_{y} is the y-component of total displacement and it is the sum of each individual y-components;

θ is the angle the resulting displacement;

For Olivia's trip, there are no x-component of the first part and for the third part, the path she bikes is a hypotenuse of a right triangle. So, that right triangle's x-component is:

sin30=\frac{x}{1.4}

\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x}{1.4}

x = 0.7

Then,

\Delta d_{x} = 0 + 0.8 + 0.7

\Delta d_{x} = 1.5

Related to y, there are no y-component in the second part of Olivia's trip and for the third part:

cos30=\frac{y}{1.4}

\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} =\frac{y}{1.4}

y = 1.21

Then,

\Delta d_{y} = 0.9 + 0 + 1.21

\Delta d_{y} = 2.11

Total displacement is

\Delta d_{t}=\sqrt{(1.5)^{2}+(2.11)^{2}}

\Delta d_{t}=\sqrt{6.7021}

\Delta d_{t}= 2.6

Magnitude of Olivia's total displacement is 2.6mi

On the map, joining the initial and final points gives a vector pointing towards east at angle:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.11}{1.5})

\theta=tan^{-1}(1.41)

θ = 54.65°

Direction of total displacement is 54.65° East.

A solid sphere of radius R is placed at a height of 30 cm on a15 degree slope. It is released and rolls, without slipping, to th
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The height is  h_c = 42.857

A circular hoop of different diameter cannot be released from a height 30cm and match the sphere speed because from the conservation relation the speed of the hoop is independent of the radius (Hence also the diameter )

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

           The height is h_s = 30 \ cm

            The angle of the slope is \theta = 15^o

According to the law of conservation of energy

     The potential energy of the sphere at the top of the slope = Rotational kinetic energy + the linear kinetic energy

                          mgh = \frac{1}{2} I w^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where I is the moment of inertia which is mathematically represented as this for  a sphere

                    I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2

  The angular velocity w is mathematically represented as

                         w = \frac{v}{r}

So the equation for conservation of energy becomes

               mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{2}{5} mr^2 ][\frac{v}{r} ]^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

              mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{2}{5} +1 ]

             mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{7}{5} ]

            gh_s =[\frac{7}{10} ] v^2

              v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

Considering a circular hoop

   The moment of inertial is different for circle and it is mathematically represented as

             I = mr^2

Substituting this into the conservation equation above

              mgh_c = \frac{1}{2} (mr^2)[\frac{v}{r} ] ^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where h_c is the height where the circular hoop would be released to equal the speed of the sphere at the bottom

                 mgh_c  = mv^2

                     gh_c = v^2

                     h_c = \frac{v^2}{g}

Recall that   v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

                    h_c= \frac{\frac{10gh_s}{7} }{g}

                      = \frac{10h_s}{7}

            Substituting values

                   h_c = \frac{10(30)}{7}

                       h_c = 42.86 \ cm

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer  it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.
