A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a

straight line) of the hiker from the camp?

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

What can make an inclined plane more efficient?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Efficiency can be increase by using rollers in conjunction with the inclined plane. Wedge. The wedge is an adaptation of the inclined plane. It can be used to raise a heavy load over a short distance or to split a log

A long cylindrical insulating shell has an inner radius of a = 1.41 m and an outer radius of b = 1.67 m. The shell has a constan
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a. E = 122.4 N/C

b. E = 58.2 N/C

c. E = 0

Explanation:

The electric field at an arbitrary point away from the axis of the cylinder can found by applying Gauss’ Law, which states that an electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by this surface divided by electric permittivity.

In order to apply this law, we have to draw an imaginary cylindrical surface of arbitrary height ‘h’ and radius ‘r’, which is equal to the point where the E-field is asked.

A. For the outside of the cylinder, we will draw our imaginary surface with r = 1.97.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (b^2 - a^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.97)h = \frac{(5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.67^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 122.4~N/C

B. This time our imaginary surface should be inside the cylinder, therefore the enclosed charge will be less than that of part A.

E2\pi rh = \frac{\lambda V_{enc}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\lambda \pi (r^2 - a^2}h{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi (1.51)h = \frac{5.3\times 10^{-9})\pi(1.51^2 - 1.41^2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = 58.2~N/C

C. In this case our imaginary surface will be inside the cylinder, where there is no charge at all. Therefore, the enclosed charge will be zero and the electric field will be zero.
