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}

If you notice any mistake in English, please let me know, because I'm not native.

An object moves 20 m east in 30 s and then returns to its starting point taking an additional 50 s. If west is chosen as the pos
user100 [1]

Answer:

v = 0.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 20 m + 20 m = 40 m

Total time taken, t = 30 s + 50 s = 80 s

The average speed of an object is the total distance divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{40}{80}\\\\=0.5\ m/s

So, the average speed of the object is 0.5 m/s.

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(a) The length of the pendulum on Earth is 36.8cm

(b) The length of the pendulum on Mars is 13.5cm

(c) Mass suspended from the spring on Earth is 0.37kg

(d) Mass suspended from the spring on Mars is 0.36kg

Explanation:

Period = 1.2s, free fall acceleration on Earth = 9.8m/s^2, free fall acceleration on Mars = 3.7m/s^2

( a) Length of pendulum on Earth = [( period ÷ 2π)^2] × acceleration = (1.2 ÷ 2×3.142)^2 × 9.8 = 0.0365×9.8 = 0.358m = 35.8cm

(b) Length of the pendulum on Mars = (1.2÷2×3.142)^2 × 3.7 = 0.0365×3.7 = 0.135cm = 13.5m

(c) Mass suspended from the spring on Earth = (force constant×length in meter) ÷ acceleration = (10×0.358) ÷ 9.8 = 0.37kg

(d) Mass suspended from the spring on Mars = (10×0.135)÷3.7 = 0.36kg

A center-seeking force related to acceleration is _______ force.
zvonat [6]
<span>The question is 'a centre seeking force related to acceleration is ............... force. The answer is centripetal force. Motion in a curved path is an accelerated motion and it requires a force that will direct the moving object towards the centre of curvature of the path of motion. This centre seeking force is known as centripetal force.</span>

How is sound wave produced?​
kramer

Answer:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates, creating a pressure wave.

Explanation:

This pressure wave causes particles in the surrounding medium (air, water, or solid) to have vibrational motion. ... The human ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles vibrate small parts within the ear.
