Shtirlitz [24]

We can confirm that when you travel in an elevator, the utricle and saccule detect when the elevator is moving.

<h3>What are the utricle and saccule?</h3>

These are small organs located in the inner ear. They serve a very important function in our everyday life. These otolith organs are responsible for the detection of movement and provide us with a sense of spatial orientation. They accomplish this by stimulating very small, hair-like cells with a specialized fluid.

Therefore, we can confirm that when you travel in an elevator, the utricle and saccule detect when the elevator is accelerating or decelerating.

Eva is in a closed, dark room. She uses her arm muscles to turn on a lamp. When she moves her hand closer to the lamp, the light
12345 [234]

Well, we know that the total energy in a closed system remains constant.

The problem with the story of Eva is that she is not in a closed system. 
If the dark room were really a closed system, then she could press the
button or turn the switch all day, and the lamp could not light.  It needs
electrical energy coming in from somewhere in order to turn on.

Let's say that Eva used her arm muscles to strike a match and light the
candle on the table.  Then we would have have food energy, muscle
energy, chemical energy in the match, chemical energy in the candle,
heat and light energy coming out of the candle, heat energy soaking into
her hand, light energy bouncing off of the book and into her eyes ... all
going on during the story, and the sum total of all of them would remain
constant.

1c. Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Scalar quantity. a)  35 m

Explanation:

Scalars and vectors are the geometrical representation of a physical quantity. Some physical quantities are scalars and others are vectors.

The physical quantities that are fundamental or derived belong to either of these categories.

The basic nature of a scalar is that it is expressed only with the magnitude.

The nature of a vector is that it has a magnitude as well a definite direction.

The basic way to differentiate a physical quantity whether it is a scalar or vector is to look for direction. If it has a direction, then it is a vector quantity or else it is a scalar. It is notable that every physical quantity has a magnitude.

Hence, the scalar quantity in the given list is  a). 35 m

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a)     d = 30.79 m , b) θ = -22.4° ,   θ = 22.4 South of East

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve problems with vectors is to use their components, for this the East-West direction coincides with the x-axis and the North-South direction coincides with the y-axis

Let's use the index for / Ricardo and the index for Jane, let's break down the displacements

Richard

X axis

      x₁ = 26.0 sin (60)

      x₁ = -22.52 m

Y Axis  

     y₁ = 26.0 cos 60

     y₁ = 13 m / s

Jane

X axis

       x₂ = 16.0 cos (180 +30)

       x₂ = -13.85 m

Y Axis  

        y₂ = 16.0 sin (180 + 30)

        y₂ = - 8.0 m

Now we can use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance between them

         d = √ [(x₂ -x₁)² + (y₂ -y₁)²]

         d = √ [(-13.85 + 22.52)² + (-8 -13)²]

         d = 30.79 m

Let's use trigonometry to enter the address

         tan θ = Δy / Δx

         θ = tan⁻¹ Δy / Δx

         θ = tan⁻¹ (-13.85 + 22.52) / (-8 - 13)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (-8.67 / 21)

         θ = -22.4°

The negative sign indicates that the angle is measured from the axis clockwise.

In the form of cardinal s point is

     θ = 22.4 South of East
