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 bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00×105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0ºC and contains 2.00 L of gas. What will its pressure be
stepan [7]

Answer:

p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}

Explanation:

from the ideal gas law we have

PV = mRT

P = \rho RT

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

HERE  R is gas constant for dry air  =  287  J K^{-1} kg^{-1}

\rho = \frac{7.00 10^{5}}{287(18+273)}

\rho = 8.38 kg/m^{3}

We know by ideal gas law

\rho = \frac{m_1}{V_1}

m_1 = \rho V_1 = 8.38 *2*10^{-3}

m_1 = 0.0167 kg

for m_2

m_2 = \rho V_i - V_removed

m_2 = 8.38*(.002 - 10^{-4})

m_2 = 0.0159 kg

WE KNOW

PV = mRT

V, R and T are constant therefore we have

P is directly proportional to mass

\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}

p_2 = p_1 * \frac{m_2}{m_1}

p_2 =7*10^{5} * \frac {.0159}{0.0167}

p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}

Frank does 2400J of work in climbing a set of stairs. If he does the work in 6 seconds, what is his power output?
timurjin [86]
Power = Work Done / Time taken

         Where Work Done is Joules, and Time is in Seconds, Power is in Watts

            = 2400 J / 6 seconds

            = 400 Watts

The power output is 400 Watts.

The efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output of any instrument or device or machine to the input supplied to it. So the greater the output the greater will be the efficiency of the device.

As here the work done by us on the system is said to be 10 J so this will be equal to the input work done on the system. And the work done by the system i.e., the scissor is 20 J, so this will be the output work.

So, the efficiency is the ratio of output to input as shown below.

Efficiency = (\frac {20} {10} ) \times 100 = 200

So, the efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?
ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

   Current is designate as I

    Voltage as V

    Power as P

  I = \frac{V}{R}

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

        P = I x V = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts
