displacement is 4 km in north direction.

Explanation:

we are given

A runner traveled 15 kilometers north first

then backtracked 11 kilometers south

we have to find displacement=d=?

assume that east side represents +ve x- axis(horizontal)

and

north represent +ve y - axis (vertical)

we can take x-axis (horizontal) as i

and y-axis (vertical) as j.

Displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 km north

<u>Answer:</u>

Resultant displacement is 4 km north.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping,

So initial displacement, 15 kilometers north = 15 j km

Second displacement, 11 kilometers south = -11 j km

Total displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 j km

Total displacement is 4 km north.

A positive charge is fixed at point (−4,−3) and a negative charge − is fixed at point (−4,0). Determine the net electric force ⃗

Masteriza [31]

The net electric force acting on a positive test charge at the origin is determined as ¹/₉(kq₁q₂).

<h3>Net electric force on the charges</h3>

The net electric force on the charges is calculated as follows;

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where;

k is coulomb's constant
q₁ and q₂ are the charges
r is the distance between the charges

<h3>Distance between the charges</h3>

$|r| = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+ (y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\|r| = \sqrt{(-4--4)^2+ (0--3)^2} \\\\|r| = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (3)^2} \\\\|r| = 3 \ units$

$F_{net} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{3^2} \\\\F_{net} = \frac{1}{9} (kq_1q_2) , \ N$

Thus, the net electric force acting on a positive test charge at the origin is determined as ¹/₉(kq₁q₂).

Aaron's normal response time to apply the car brakes is 0.7 seconds. Aaron's response time doubles when he is tired. How far wil

Likurg_2 [28]

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s

His reaction time is given as 0.7 s

but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled

Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes

So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time

So here we can use

$d = v*t$

$d = 30 * 1.4$

$d = 42 m$

So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes

g The electric power needs of a community are to be met by windmills with 40-m-diameter rotors. The windmills are to be located

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given Data

The diameter of the wind mills is d = 40m

Velocity of the air is V = 6 m / s

Required power output is: P ₀ = 2100 k W

Expression to calculate the exergy of the air is

E = V ² / 2

Substitute the value in above expression

E = ( 6 m / s ) ² / 2

E = 18 m ² / s ² x (1kJ/kg / 1000m²/s²)

E = 0.018 k J / k g

Expression to calculate the density of the air is

P v =m R T

m /v = P /RT ⋯ ⋯( I )

Here

m is the mass of the air,

v is the volume of the air,

P is the atmospheric pressure,

T is the standard temperature at the atmospheric pressure and

R is the gas constant

As the density is

ρ = m /V

Substitute the value in expression (I)

ρ = 101 kP a /( 0.287 k J / k g ⋅ K ) ( 298 K )

ρ = 1.180 k g / m ²

Expression to calculate the mass flow rate is

m = ρ A V ⋯ ⋯ ( I I )

Here A is the area of the windmill

Expression to calculate the A is

A = π /4 d ²

Substitute the value in above expression

A = π /4 ( 40 m ²)

A = 1256.63 m ²

Substitute the value in expression (II)

m = ( 1.180 k g / m ³) ( 1256.63 m ²) ( 6 m / s )

m = 8896.94 k g / s

Expression to calculate the maximum power available to the windmill is

P w = m ( V ² /2 )

Substitute the value in above expression

P w = 8896.94 k g / s ( (6m/s)²/2 )

P w = 160144.92 W × ( 1 W /1000 k W )

P w = 160.144 k W

Expression to calculate the number of windmills required is

n = P o /P w

Substitute the value in above expression

n=2100kw/160.144kw

n=13.11

At t = 0 the components of a radio-controlled car's velocity are vx = 0.5 m/s and vy = 1.2 m/s. Find the components of the car's

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x-component of velocity = 5.7 m/s

y-component of velocity = -1.4 m/s

Explanation:

Use first equation of motion to find components of velocity at a given time:

$v = u + at$

where, $v$ is the final velocity, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the acceleration and $t$ is the time.

Given:

$u_x= 0.5 m/s\\u_y=1.2 m/s\\a_x=2 m/s^2\\a_y=-1m/s^2\\t = (2.6-0)s =2.6 s$

$v_x=u_x+a_xt\\\Rightarrow v_x=0.5+2\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_x=5.7 m/s$

$v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.2-1\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_y=-1.4 m/s$
