John walks to school in the morning then walks home for lunch. The school is 250 meters directly north of his house. After lunch

, he goes back to school and then to a friend's house that is 550 meters south of the school. What is John's resultant displacement when he remains at his friend's house?
300 meters south
800 meters south
300 meters north
800 meters north

Answer:

300 meters south

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that connects the initial position with the final position of the motion.

In order to find the net displacement, we must add the distance covered in each part of the motion, considering the proper sign. We take the following convention:

North --> +

South --> -

So, John made the following trips:

Home --> school: 250 m north = +250

School --> home: 250 m south = -250

Home --> school: 250 m north = +250 m

School --> friend's house: 550 m south = -550 m

So, the net displacement is

d = +250 -250 +250 -550 = -300

So, 300 m south.

A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. its engines generate a drive force of 4100 n, due west, while the wind exerts a force of 830 n, du
erastova [34]

 Let positive be west and negative be east because they are contrasting in directions.

 
The forces are 4100, -830, and -1200

 
The sum of the forces is 4100 – 830 – 1200 = 2070 N. 

Newton’s law F = ma is used. 
2070 = 6800 a 

Isolating a will give us 2070 / 6800 = a

a = 0.34 m/s^2

Explain Why a flying aeroplane has more Kinetic Energy than a flying insect?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Why do insects fly so high?

Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag. The important feature, however, is the lift.

Why an Aeroplane flying has kinetic  

A flying aeroplane has potential energy has it flies above the ground level. And since the aeroplane is flying motion is associated with it and thus possesses kinetic energy. Hence a flying aeroplane has both potential and kinetic energ

A non uniform rod has mass
Doss [256]

Answer:

r_{cm} = L/3

Explanation:

Mass: M, Length: L.

\sigma (x) = b(L-x)

The formula that gives center of mass is

\vec{r}_{cm} = \frac{m_1\vec{r}_1 + m_2\vec{r}_2 + ...}{m_1 + m_2 + ...} = \frac{\Sigma m_i \vec{r}_i}{\Sigma m_i}

In the case of a non-uniform mass density, this formula converts to

\vec{r}_{cm} = \frac{\int\limits^L_0 {x\sigma(x)} \, dx }{\int\limits^L_0 {\sigma(x)} \, dx }

where the denominator is the total mass and the nominator is the mass times position of each point on the rod.

We have to integrate the mass density over the total rod in order to find the total mass. Likewise, we have to integrate the center of mass of each point (xσ(x)) over the total rod. And if we divide the integrated center of mass to the total mass, we find the center of mass of the rod:

\vec{r}_{cm} = \frac{\int\limits^L_0 {x\sigma(x)} \, dx }{\int\limits^L_0 {\sigma(x)} \, dx } = \frac{\int\limits^L_0 {xb(L-x)} \, dx }{\int\limits^L_0 {b(L-x)} \, dx } = \frac{b\int\limits^L_0{(xL - x^2)} \, dx }{b\int\limits^L_0 {(L-x)} \, dx } = \frac{\frac{x^2L}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}}{Lx - \frac{x^2}{2}}\left \{ {{x=L} \atop {x=0}} \right.

Here x's are cancelled. Otherwise, the denominator would be zero.

r_{cm} = \frac{\frac{xL}{2}-\frac{x^2}{3}}{L-\frac{x}{2}}\left \{ {{x=L} \atop {x=0}} \right. = \frac{\frac{L^2}{2}-\frac{L^2}{3}}{L-\frac{L}{2}} = \frac{\frac{L^2}{6}}{\frac{L}{2}} = \frac{L}{3}

A diffusion couple composed of two silver– gold alloys is formed; these alloys have compositions of 98 wt% Ag–2 wt% Au and 95 wt
jeyben [28]

Answer:

for this problem, 2.5 = (5+2/2)-(5-2/2)erf (50×10-6m/2Dt)

It now becomes necessary to compute the diffusion coefficient at 750°C (1023 K) given that D0= 8.5 ×10-5m2/s and Qd= 202,100 J/mol.

we have D= D0exp( -Qd/RT)

=(8.5×105m2/s)exp(-202,100/8.31×1023)

= 4.03 ×10-15m2/s
