Ship A is located 3.90 km north and 2.50 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 21.0 km/h toward the south and ship B has a

velocity of 40.0 km/h in a direction 37.0° north of east. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of A relative to B? (Axis directions are determined by the unit vectors i and j, where i is toward the east.) (c) At what time is the separation between the ships least? (d) What is that least separation?

Answer:

a) Vx = -31.95 km/h       b) Vy = -45.07 km/h

c) t = 0.083 h                 d) d = 0.22 km

Explanation:

First we have to express these values as vectors:

ra = (2.5, 3.9) km      rb = (0,0)km

Va = (0, - 21) km/h    Vb = (31.95, 24.07) km/h

Now we can calculate relative velocity:

V_{A/B} = V_{A} - V_{B} = (0, -21) - (31.95, 24.07) = (-31.95, -45.07) km/h

For parts (c) and (d) we need the position of A relative to B and the module of the position will be de distance.

r_{A/B} = (2.5, 3.9) + (-31.95, -45.07) * t

d = |r_{A/B}| = \sqrt{(2.5 -31.95*t)^{2}+(3.9-45.07*t)^{2}}

In order to find out the minimum distance we have to derive and find t where it equals zero:

d' = \frac{-2*(2.5-31.95*t)*(-31.95)-2*(3.9-45.07*t)*(-45.07)}{2*\sqrt{(2.5 -31.95*t)^{2}+(3.9-45.07*t)^{2}}} =0

Solving for t we find:

t = 0.083 h

Replacing this value into equation for d:

d = 0.22 km

Consider steady-state conditions for one-dimensional conduction in a plane wall having a thermal conductivity k = 50 W/m · K and
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

solution:

dT/dx =T2-T1/L

&

q_x = -k*(dT/dx)

<u>Case (1)  </u>

dT/dx= (-20-50)/0.35==> -280 K/m

 q_x  =-50*(-280)*10^3==>14 kW

Case (2)

dT/dx= (-10+30)/0.35==> 80 K/m

 q_x  =-50*(80)*10^3==>-4 kW

Case (2)

dT/dx= (-10+30)/0.35==> 80 K/m

 q_x  =-50*(80)*10^3==>-4 kW

Case (3)

q_x  =-50*(160)*10^3==>-8 kW

T2=T1+dT/dx*L=70+160*0.25==> 110° C

Case (4)

q_x  =-50*(-80)*10^3==>4 kW

T1=T2-dT/dx*L=40+80*0.25==> 60° C

Case (5)

q_x  =-50*(200)*10^3==>-10 kW

T1=T2-dT/dx*L=30-200*0.25==> -20° C

In SI units, what is the magnitude the net force acting on a 1,152 kg car that accelerates uniformly along a straight line from
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force.
  • Fapp is the applied force.
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation.

Given the following data;

Mass = 1,152 kg

Initial velocity, u = 3m/s

Final velocity, v = 17m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

To find the magnitude of the net force;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car.

Acceleration = (v-u)/t

Acceleration = (17 - 3)/5

Acceleration = 14/5

Acceleration = 2.8m/s

To find the applied force;

Fapp = mass * acceleration

Fapp = 1,152 * 2.8

Fapp = 3225.6 N

Next, we would find the force exerted on the car due to gravity.

Fg = mass * acceleration due to gravity

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Fg = 1152 * 9.8

Fg = 11289.6N

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Fnet = 3225.6 + 11289.6

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

We can approach this in another way.
We know that sin(∅) = height / hypotenuse.

Thus, for x, height is 1 and hypotenuse is 3. Using Pythagoras theorem,
3² = 1² + b²
b = √8
cos(x) = b/hypotenuse
cos(x) = √8 / 3

Now, lets consider y:
sec(y) = 1 / cos(y) = 1 / base / hypotenuse = hypotenuse / base
The hypotenuse is 25 and the base is 24. We again apply Pythagoras theorem to find the third side, which works out to be:
height = 7
sin(y) = height / hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/25

Now, sin(x + y) =
sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)
= (1/3)(24/25) + (√8 / 3)(7/25)
= 8/25 + 7√8/75
= (24 + 14√2) / 75

If a star is 13.7 light years away from earth, how can we tell which elements it is made of?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.
