Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector

D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i  + 255 sin49 j

= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j

Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is

D = 125 i

So

D₁ + D₂ = D

- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i

D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j

= 292.29 i - 192.45 j

Angle of D₂ with x axes θ

tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29

= - 0.658

θ = 33.33 south of east

Magnitude of D₂

D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²

D₂ = 350 km approx

Which form of the law of conservation of energy describes the motion of the block as it slides on the floor from the bottom of t
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let assume begins movement at zero point, that is, height is equal to zero. The block has an initial linear kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy and end with no linear kinetic energy, some gravitational potential energy and work losses due to slide friction. In mathematical terms, this system can be model as follows:

K_{1} = U_{2} + W_{loss, 1 \longrightarrow 2}

Where K, U, W are linear kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and work, respectively.

The Doppler shift can be observed when ____________. Check all that apply. Group of answer choices the source of sound moves tow
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the source of sound moves towards an observe

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is related to waves such as sound or light. the effect causes an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound light or other waves when the souces either move towards or away from the observer. For example the siren of the train to a person on the platform, the redshift seen by astronomers.

Therefore, The Doppler shift can be observed when the source of sound moves towards an observer From a place closer to the observer than the last wave's crest, each consecutive wave crest is sent. Each wave therefore, takes a little less time than the preceding wave to reach the observer.

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A   (N/m²)

P1=P2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2}  }{A_{1}}  Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight  (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N
