A car climbs 10.0 kilometers up a hill that inclines 8.0 degrees. What is the car's vertical displacement?

Physics

mash [69]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer to the question is : 1.392\ Km

CALCULATION:

The angle of inclination of the hill with the horizontal ground \theta =\ 8^{0}.

The magnitude of displacement  or the distance travelled by the car up that hill is given as -

                        distance S = 10.0 Km.

We are asked to calculate the vertical displacement.

Applying vector resolution process, we get-

(a) Scos\theta is the horizontal component

 (b) Ssin\theta is the vertical component.

Hence, the vertical displacement is calculated as -

                        Vertical displacement S_{y} =\ S\sin\theta

                                                                    =\ 10\times sin8^{0}

                                                                    = 1.392 Km.

Hence, the vertical displacement of the car is  1.392\ Km

Electricity costs 10p per unit. How much will it cost Sam to use a 85W laptop and a 60W lamp for an hour?
Goryan [66]
The standard unit is KW/hr, = 1,000W/hr.
(85 + 60) = 145W.
You need to find its fraction of 1,000W., so (145/1000) = 0.145 KWH.
(0.145 x 10p) = 1.45p. per hr.

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
Maslowich

Consider that the bar magnet has a magnetic field that is acting around it, which will imply that there is a change in the magnetic flux through the loop whenever it moves towards the conducting loop. This could be described as an induction of the electromotive Force in the circuit from Faraday's law.

In turn by Lenz's law, said electromotive force opposes the change in the magnetic flux of the circuit. Therefore, there is a force that opposes the movement of the bar magnet through the conductor loop. Therefore, the bar magnet does not suffer free fall motion.

The bar magnet does not move as a freely falling object.

A bomb of mass 4 kg, initially at rest, explodes breaking into two fragments of 1 kg and 3 kg. Which one of the following statem
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

Explanation:Here for the bomb, its chemical energy gets converted into the mechanical energy.

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the two bodies will have equal momentum and to satisfy this condition the lighter mass will have the higher velocity.

∵ momentum, p = mass × velocity

∴The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

If 3.61 m3 of a gas initially at STP is placed under a pressure of 2.67 atm , the temperature of the gas rises to 37.9 ∘C. What
Pavel [41]

Answer: 1.54m^3

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas at STP = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 2.67 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.61m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas at STP = 0^oC=273+0=273K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 37.9^oC=273+37.9=310.9K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{1atm\times 3.61m^3}{273K}=\frac{2.67\times V_2}{310.9K}

V_2=1.54m^3

Thus the final volume will be 1.54m^3

A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.630-kg ball is released at a height of 1.80 m above the floor with a speed of 7.09
N76 [4]

mass of the ball m = 0.63 kg

initial height h = 1.8 m

final height h ' = 3.03 m

initial speed v = 7.09 m / s

final speed v ' = 4.21 m / s

Let the work done on the ball by air resistance W = ?

we know from law of conservation of energy ,

total energy at height h + work done by air = total energy at height h '

  mgh + ( 1/ 2) mv^ 2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

0.630*9.8*1.8 + 0.63*7.09^2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2

From there you can find W

if there is negative sign indicates it work opposite direction to motion
