A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.46 km due east, 0.123 km due south, and 4.24 km in a direction 52.4° north

of west. The time required for this trip is 1.285 h. Determine the magnitudes of the bird watcher's (a)displacement and (b) average velocity.

Answer:

(a). The displacement is 3.11 m.

(b). The average velocity is 2.42 km/hr.

Explanation:

Given that,

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.46 km due east, 0.123 km due south, and 4.24 km in a direction 52.4° north of west.

(a). We need to calculate the displacement

Using Pythagorean theorem

$D=\sqrt{(OA)^2+(AB)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(1.46-4.24\sin52.4)^2+(0.123-4.24\cos52.4)^2}$

$D=3.11\ km$

(b). We need to calculate the average velocity

Using formula of average velocity

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{D}{T}$

Where, D = displacement

T = time

Put the value into the formula

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3.11}{1.285}$

$v_{avg}=2.42\ km/hr$

Hence, (a). The displacement is 3.11 m.

(b). The average velocity is 2.42 km/hr.

To overcome an object's inertia, it must be acted upon by __________.

Nastasia [14]

Correct answer choice is :

C) Force

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any cooperation that, when unrestricted, will vary the motion of an object. A force can create an object with mass to alter its velocity to accelerate. Force can also be defined intuitively as a push or a pull. A force acting on an object may create the object to alter shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to stimulate or decelerate. When two objects communicate with each other they exert a force on each other, the forces are just in size but different in direction.

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$T = 69^o C$

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

$Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}$

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

$m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2$

here we have

$m_1 = 15 gram$

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

$c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C$

$\Delta T_1 = T - 0$

$\Delta T_2 = 85 - T$

now we have

$15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)$

$4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T$

$648.83 T = 44818.4$

$T = 69^o C$

Which is not a benefit of a sporting organization? a. To control all of the people in the community b. Bringing people together

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: a. To control all of the people in the community

Explanation:

The sport organization help in bring people of different communities together. It removes any kind of discrimination based on caste, gender, race, and others. People are united in a single team to bring about unity in them. The sport organization does not control the people in the community instead can bring change in their thinking and opinion about people of the other community. The sports activities are recreational in nature, they build social interaction between people of different communities, control good health, make communities safer.

A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.660 for blue light of wavelength 420 nm and an index of 1.630 for red li

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Snell's law

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

for 420 nm wavelength

where n₁ = 1.00 ( refractive index of air) and θ₁ = 30° n₂ = 1.660

1.00 × sin 30° = 1.660 sinθ₂

sinθ₂ = 0.3012

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.3012 = 17.53°

for 690 nm wavelength

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

sinθ₂ = 0.5 / 1.630

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.3067 = 17.86°

the angle between the two beam = 17.863° - 17.53° = 0.333°

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

$v=\omega r(2)$

Here $\omega$ is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

$a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r$

Recall that $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m$ .

Solving for $\omega$ :

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$
