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

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

How do you do this question?
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of each disk is:

Idisk = 1/2 MR²

Using parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of each rod is:

Irod = 1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²

The total moment of inertia is:

I = 2Idisk + 5Irod

I = 2 (1/2 MR²) + 5 [1/2 mr² + m (R − r)²]

I = MR² + 5/2 mr² + 5m (R − r)²

Plugging in values:

I = (125 g) (5 cm)² + 5/2 (250 g) (1 cm)² + 5 (250 g) (5 cm − 1 cm)²

I = 23,750 g cm²

In a double‑slit interference experiment, the wavelength is lambda=487 nm , the slit separation is d=0.200 mm , and the screen i
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:

The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:

Δx = λD/d

So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:

Δx = 4λD/d

where,

Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?

λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m

D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)

<u>Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm</u>

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho
emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.  

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!
