Answer:

The horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance covered by the truck, d = 1430 m

The angle formed with the horizontal, Ф = 5.76°

The displacement is a vector quantity.

The horizontal component of displacement is given by,

                                 d' = d cos Ф

                                     = 1430 cos 5.76°

                                     = 1422.7 m

Hence, the horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

A river flows due east at 12 km/h. A boat crosses the 720 m wide river by maintaining a constant velocity of 72 mi/h due north r
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The boat will be 74 .17 meters downstream by the time it reaches the shore.

Explanation:

Consider the vector diagrams for velocity and distance shown below.

converting 72 miles per hour to km/hr

we have 72 miles per hour 72 × 1.60934 = 115.83 km/hr

The velocity vectors form a right angled triangle, and can be solved using simple trigonometric laws

tan \theta = \frac{12}{115.873}

\theta = tan^{-1}(  \frac{12}{115.873})=5.9126

This is the vector angle with which the ship drifts away with respect to its northward direction.

<em>From the sketch of the displacement vectors,  we can use trigonometric ratios to determine the distance the boat moves downstream.</em>

Let x be the distance  the boat moves downstream.d

sin(5.9126)=\frac{x}{720}

x= 720\times 5.9126

x=74.17m

∴The boat will be 74 .17 meters downstream by the time it reaches the shore.

A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the t
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

x = (mg-f)/k

Explanation:

there are three forces acting on cylinder in a tube, (1) force due to spring = -kx (2) force due to friction = f (3) force due to gravity.

we want to calculate an instant when all three forces acting on mass cancel and there is 0 net force  and cylinder momentiraly comes to stop.

let's write it in mathematics.

kx+f-mg=0 (kx is positive because it is upwards and that is how we have setup our coordinate axis in this problem).

solving for x gives.

x = (mg-f)/k.

If humans cannot see ultraviolet waves, how can ultraviolet light be used to gather evidence of a crime?
MakcuM [25]
It seems that you have missed the given options for this question, but anyway, here is the correct answer. If humans cannot see ultraviolet waves, ultraviolet light can be used to gather evidence of a crime since u<span>ltraviolet light causes substances to fluoresce and give off visible light. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Thanks for posting!</span>
