Let's choose east as positive x-direction and south as positive y-direction. We can resolve the two displacement along these two axes:

- Displacement 1 (3.5 km, 55^{\circ} south of west

d_{1x}=-(3.5 km)( cos 55^{\circ})=-2.01 km

d_{1y}=(3.5 km)( sin 55^{\circ})=2.87 km

- Displacement 2 (2.7 km, 16^{\circ} east of south

d_{2x}=(2.7 km)( sin 16^{\circ})=0.74 km

d_{1y}=(2.7 km)( cos 16^{\circ})=2.60 km

So, the total components on the two directions are

d_x = -2.01 km+0.74 km=-1.27 km

d_y=2.87 km+2.60 km=5.47 km

And the magnitude of the hiker's resultant displacement is

d=\sqrt{(1.27 km)^2+(5.47 km)^2}=5.6 km

Answer:

1.3km

Explanation:

We need to get the total displacement of the x and y components.

taking north and east as positive:

d_{1x}=-3.5km*cos(55^o)=-2km\\d_{2x}=2.7km*sin(16^o)=0.74km\\d_x=0.74km-2km=-1.26km

d_{1y}=-3.5km*sin(55^o)=-2.9km\\d_{2y}=-2.7km*sin(16^o)=-2.6km\\d_y=-2.6km-2.9km=-5.5km

The magnitude of the displacement is given by:

d=\sqrt{(d_x)^2+(d_y)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-1.26)^2+(-0.3)^2}=5.64km

We were told to round it to the nearest tenth, so we have to look at the hundredth place, because it is equal or less than 4, the tenth place remains the same and we drop the numbers to the right.

d=5.6km

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

A uniform crate with a mass of 22 kg must be moved up along the 15° incline without tipping. The force P is horizontal. Determin
Paul [167]

Answer:

F_x=208.25\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a crate is 22 kg

It moved up along the 15 degrees incline without tipping.

We need to find the corresponding magnitude of force P. The force P is acting in horizontal direction.

It means that the horizontal component of force is given by :

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\\F_x=mg\cos\theta\\\\F_x=22\times 9.8\times \cos(15)\\\\F_x=208.25\ N

So, the horizontal component of force is 208.25 N.

a 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v
shutvik [7]
Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT =  2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)            v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L, 

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = e^{0.3098}


v₂  =  19* e^{0.3098}

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L        Option b.

Why is weathering slow in cold, dry places?
Alexxandr [17]

Rate of weathering depends on temperature and moisture. Cold dry places have less water to weather things
