A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North

of East. a) Sketch a plot of the vector sum of this motion. b) Use vector math to find his total displacement in component form. c) Convert to magnitude and direction form. d) How far is the hippo from his starting point? Note: this is distance, a scalar. What total distance has the hippo traveled?

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

Sound with a frequency of 1250 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.05 m.At what minimum angle relative to the c
kiruha [24]

Answer:

15.19°, 31.61°, 51.84°

Explanation:

We need to fin the angle for m=1,2,3

We know that the expression for wavelenght is,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Substituting,

\lambda = \frac{344}{1250}

\lambda = 0.2752m

Once we have the wavelenght we can find the angle by the equation of the single slit difraction,

sin\theta = \frac{m \lambda}{W}

Where,

W is the width

m is the integer

\lambda the wavelenght

Re-arrange the expression,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{m\lambda}{W}

For m=1,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{1 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 15.19\°

For m=2,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{2 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 31.61\°

For m=3,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 51.84\°

<em>The angle of diffraction is directly proportional to the size of the wavelength.</em>

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?
storchak [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}

A 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. What is the diameter of t
sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, \rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Also, V = IR

So,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

A is area of wire,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}, r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the c
irinina [24]

288.51 N is  the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.

Given

Mass 0f beam = 40 Kg

The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi_nge on the beam is 86.62 N

Angle between the beam and cable is = 90°

Angle between beam and the horizontal component = 31°

As the system of the beam, hi_nge and cable are in equilibrium.

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge can be calculated by -

F =The  horizontal component of force + the vertical component of force  

F = 86.62 N + 40 × 9.8 × sin 31°

F =86.62 N + 201.89 N

F = 288.51 N

Hence, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge is 288.51  N.
