Direct currents flow in one direction, while in alternating currents the flow could change/alternate.

In a direct current, the electric charge, or current, only flows in one direction. In an alternating current, the electric charge changes periodically.

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
ch4aika [34]

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

With what speed must you approach a source of sound to observe a 25% change in frequency?
insens350 [35]
Sound source is at rest, you are moving with velocity v, f = frequency, c = speed of sound:

f = f0(1 + v/c)

115 = 100(1 + v/343)
115 = 100 + 100v/343
15 = 100v/343
v = 15*343/100
<span> v = 51,45 m/s </span>

A golfer is on the edge of a 12.5 m bluff overlooking the 18th hole which is located 60 m from the base of the bluff. She launch
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

x=V_{o}cos \theta t----------------------(1)

y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}---------(2)

V=V_{o}-gt ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

V_{o} is the golf ball's initial velocity

\theta=0\° is the angle (it was  a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

y_{o} is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}

t=1.597s

Substituting (6) in (1):

67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597-------------------(4)

Step 2:  Finding V_{o}:

From equation(4)

67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597

V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}

V_{o}=42.01 m/s (8)  

Substituting V_{o} in (3):

V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)

v =42 .01 - 15.3566  

V=26.359 m/s
