While vacationing in the mountains you do some hiking. In the morning, your displacement is S⃗ morning= (2200 m , east) + (4000

m north) + (100 m , vertical). Continuing on your hike after lunch, your displacement is S⃗ afternoon= (1300 m , west) + (2500 m , north) - (300 m , vertical).At the end of the hike, how much higher or lower are you compared to your starting point? What is the magnitude of your net displacement for the day?

Answer:

a

    The hiker (you ) is  200 m below his/her(your) starting point

b

   The resultant displacement in the north east direction is

a  = 6562.0 \  m

    The resultant displacement in vertical direction (i.e the altitude change )

  b =6503.1 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The displacement in the morning is  S_{morning} =  (2200 \m , east) + (4000\ m\ north) + (100 \ m ,\ vertical)

   The displacement in the afternoon is  S _{afternoon}= (1300\ m ,\ west) + (2500 \ m ,\ north) - (300\ m ,\ vertical)

Generally the direction west is negative , the direction east is positive

                 the direction south is negative , the direction north is  positive

resultant displacement  is mathematically evaluated as  

    (2200 \m , east) +( - 1300\ m ,\ west) = 900 \ m \ east

     (4000\ m\ north)  + (2500 \ m ,\ north) = 6500  \ m ,\ north

     (100 \ m ,\ vertical) - (300\ m ,\ vertical) = -200 \ m

From the above calculation we see that at the end of the hiking the hiker (you) is  200 m below his/her(your) initial position

Generally from Pythagoras theorem , the resultant displacement in the north east direction is

      a  =  \sqrt{900^2 + 6500^2}

=>     a  = 6562.0 \  m

Generally from Pythagoras theorem , the resultant displacement in vertical direction (i.e the altitude change )

      b = \sqrt{6500^2 +(-200)^2  }

=>   b =6503.1 \  m

A solid 0.4550 kg ball rolls without slipping down a track toward a vertical loop of radius R = 0.6750 m . What minimum translat
Talja [164]

Answer:

u = 3.35 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass , m = 0.455 kg  

R = 0.675 m

Height of Loop = 1.021 m

the speed required at the top of loop be v

equating the force vertically

m g =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

9.81 =\dfrac{v^2}{0.675}

v² = 6.622

v = 2.57 m/s

Let the initial speed of ball be u

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)

where, I =\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{u}{r})^2 + m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2)(\dfrac{v}{r})^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+ m g (2 R)

0.7 u^2 + g H = 0.7 v^2 + g(2R)

0.7 u^2 +9.81 \times 1.021= 0.7\times 2.57^2 + 9.81 \times 2\times 0.675)

0.7 u² = 7.85092

u² = 11.2156

u = 3.35 m/s

the initial  speed is 3.35 m/s

A train reaches a speed of 35.0 m/s after accelerating at a rate of 5.00 m/s2 over a distance of 40.0 m. What was the train’s in
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, V = 35m/s

Acceleration, a = 5m/s²

Distance, S = 40m

To find the initial velocity (U), we would use the third equation of motion.

V² = U² + 2aS

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

35² = U + 2*5*40

1225 = U² + 400

U² = 1225 - 400

U² = 825

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s
