Answer:

Weight is a force

Explanation:

Weight is the force of gravity on a mass. It can also be seen through this equation: F=ma, where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of gravity.

A small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then flies 30.0 km in a direction 15° north of east. Use the an

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

d= 64.7 km

$\theta = 40.9^{o}$

displacement vector $=r_xi + r_yj = 48.9i + 42.4j$

Explanation:

total distance = 40 + 30 = 70 km

during 1st flight

$r_1 x = 40*cos60$

$r_1 x = 20 km$

$r_1 y = 40*sin60$

$r_1 y = 34.64 km$

during 2nd flight

$r_2 x = 30*cos15$

$r_2 x = 28.9 km$

$r_2 y = 30*sin15$

$r_2 y = 7.76 km$

the two component of r are:

$r_x = r_1x + r_2x = 20 + 28.9 = 48.9 km$

$r_y = r_1y + r_2y = 34.64 + 7.76 = 42.4 km$

Geographical Direction $\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{r_y}{r_x} [tex]\theta = 40.9^{o}$

Displacement d $= \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}$

$d = \sqrt{48.9^2+42.4^2} = 64.7 km$

d= 64.7 km

displacement vector $=r_xi + r_yj = 48.9i + 42.4j$

As shown in the figure below, a seal and the penguin are playing a fun game of tag. The penguin first swims rightward

RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity = Displacement/Time

ΔS = -10+6

ΔS = -4m

Given tme = 30s

Average velocity = -4/30

Average velocity = -0.13m/s

Average speed = Distance/Time

Total distance covered = 10m+6m

Total distance covered = 16m

Average speed = 16/30

Average speed = 0.53m/s

A cork has weight mg and density 25% of water’s density. A string is tied around the cork and attached to the bottom of a water-

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Density of Cork $\rho _c=0.25\rho _{water}$

Considering V be the volume of Cork

Buoyant Force will be acting Upward and Weight is acting Downward along with T

Since density of water is more than cork therefore Cork will try to escape out of water but due to tension it will not

we can write as

$\rho _{water}Vg-\rho _Cvg-T=0$

where T=tension

Thus Tension T is

$T=Vg(\rho _{water}-\rho _c)$

Taking $\rho _c$ common

$T=\rho _cVg(\frac{\rho _{water}}{\rho _c}-1)$

$T=mg(\frac{\rho _{water}}{\rho _c}-1)$

$T=mg(4-1)$

$T=3mg$
