You decide to walk part of the way around a lake. The lake is a circle with a radius of 2.0 km You start on the shore due south

of the lake and walk three-fourths of the way around the lake. ending up on the shore due east of the lake. What is your displacement?

Answer:

2.828 km

Explanation:

radius of lake, r = 2 km

Let O be the centre of the circular lake and you walk from A to A to D.

Displacement is the measure of shortest distance between two points.

According to the diagram , the displacement AD is

AD^{2}=AO^{2}+OD^{2} (By using the Pythagorean theorem)

AD^{2}=2^{2}+2^{2}

AD = 2.828 km

thus, the displacement is 2.828 km.

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

The temperature of a room is 77°F what would be the temperature in Celsius scale​
anygoal [31]

Formulas change from F to degree C : C = ( F - 32 )/1.8

so we have (77-32)/1.8 = 25 oC

ok done. Thank to me :>

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
