Edward travels 150 kilometers due west and then 200 kilometers in a direction 60° north of west. What is his displacement in the

westerly direction?

     We must decompose the displacement vector to find the new displacement to the west.

d_{x}=v.cos\O \\ d_{x}=200. \frac{1}{2}  \\ d_{x}=100km
  
     Adding all displacements to West, It comes:

\Delta S= d_{o}+d_{x} \\ \Delta S= 150+100 \\ \boxed {\Delta S= 250 km}

A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicula
igomit [66]

Answer:

Angular acceleration of the disk will be \alpha =10.714rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 5 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}=0.15m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 0.15^2=0.056kgm^2

Force is given by F=4 N

Torque is given as \tau =Fr=4\times 0.15=0.6N-m

We also know that torque is given by \tau =I\alpha

0.6=0.056\times \alpha

\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2

In this experiment, you need to examine the idea of thermal energy transfer. Using a controlled experiment, what might a good qu
Mamont248 [21]

We'll look at two properties:

1. The variation in temperature

2. The material's heat transfer coefficient

By taking an example;

Use a circular rod made of a certain material (for example, steel) that is insulated all the way around.

One end of the rod is immersed in a huge reservoir of 100°C water, while the other is immersed in water  at 40°C. The cold water is kept in an insulated cylinder on both sides. The temp of the chilly water is measured using a meter as a time - dependent.

Conclusion of experiment;

  • Heat is transferred from a hot location to a cooler region.
  • Whenever heat is applied to a body, its thermal power rises, and its temperature rises.

A person uses 750 kcal on a long walk calculate the energy used for the walk in kilojoules
guapka [62]
Basically, this problem asks you to convert kilocalories (kcal) to kilojoules (kJ). Both are units of energy. To convert kcal to kJ, the equivalence is: 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ. Through dimensional analysis, the solution is as follows:

750 kcal * 4.184 kJ/1 kcal = 3,138 kJ
