Find the west component of 45 m 19º S of W
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Explanation:

We need to translate the sentence into a vectoral expression in rectangular form, which is defined as:

(x, y) = (r_{x}, r_{y})

Where:

r_{x} - Horizontal component of vector distance, measured in meters.

r_{y} - Vertical component of vector distance, measured in meters.

Let suppose that east and north have positive signs, then we get the following expression:

(x, y) = (-45\cdot \cos 19^{\circ}, -45\cdot \sin 19^{\circ})\,[m]

(x, y) = (-42.548,-14.651)\,[m]

The west component corresponds to the first component of the ordered pair. That is to say:

x = -42.548\,m

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

A ball of mass m = 0.1kg is connected to a rope of length L = 1.2 m. The ball is swung around in a vertical circle and ball is m
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The speed of the ball is approximately 5.94 m/s

The Tension of the string at the bottom is 3.92 N

Explanation:

We need to find the speed of the ball, which is constant due to the fact that we are in a uniform circular motion. Notice as well that the speed of the ball is the magnitude of the tangential velocity "v_t" (vector that changes direction with the position of the ball but doesn't change magnitude in this case).

We analyze first the top position of the circular motion, for which information on the tension of the string is given (see first free body diagram in the attached picture).  We are told that the tension at the top of the movement equals twice the force of gravity on the ball's mass: T - 2*m*g = 1.96 N. And we know that there are two forces acting on the ball in that position (illustrated with the green arrows pointing down): one is the ball's weight due to gravity, and the other is the string's tension. So we can write Newton's second law for this situation:

F_{net}= T_{top}+W\\F_{net}=2\,W+W\\F_{net}=3\,W\\F_{net}=2.94 N\\

Newton's second law tells us that the net force should equal the mass of the ball times its acceleration (F = m * a), and in this motion, the acceleration is the centripetal acceleration. Therefore weuse this equation to solve for the centripetal acceleration of the ball:

m\,a_c=2.94\,N\\a_c=\frac{2.94\,N}{0.1\,kg} \\a_c=29.4\,\frac{m}{s^2}

The centripetal acceleration is defined as the square of the tangential velocity divided the radius of the circular motion. Then we use it to derive the magnitude of the tangential velocity (speed of the ball):

a_c=\frac{v^2}{R} \\29.4\,\frac{m}{s^2} =\frac{v_t^2}{R} \\v_t^2=29.4\,(1.2)\,\frac{m^2}{s^2} \\v_t=5.94\,\frac{m}{s}

So we have found the speed of the ball.

Now we focus our attention to the bottom of the motion, and again use Newton's second law to solve for the string tension (see second free body diagram in the attached picture).

We notice here that the tension and the weight are acting in opposite directions, so we have such into account when finding the net force on the ball, and then solve for the tension knowing the value of the centripetal acceleration (recall that the magnitude of the tangential velocity is the same because of the uniform circular motion).

F_{net}= T_{bot}-W\\m\,a_c=T_{bot}-0.98\,N\\2.94\,N=T_{bot}-0.98\,N\\T_{bot}=(2.94+0.98)N\\T_{bot}=3.92\,N

An alarm clock draws 0.5 A of current when connected to a 120 volt circuit. Calculate its resistance.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<span>We need to calculate the resistance of a clock which draws current I=0.5A and is connected to a circuit of V=120V. We can find the resistance of a circuit from Ohm's law: I=U/R where I is the current, U is the voltage and R is the resistance. So lets manipulate Ohm's law to find the resistance: R=U/I. Now we input our numbers: R=120V/0.5A and we get R=240 Ohm. So the resistance is R=240 Ohm.</span>

A window air conditioner uses 1010 W of electricity and has a coefficient of performance of 3.88. For simplicity, let's assume t
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.) Q=MC_v\delta T\\=\rho \times v \times C_v \times \delta T\\=1.2 \times 7 \times 7 \times 3 \times 720 \times (324-295)\\=3683232J

2.) COP

= \frac{Q_{abs}}{W}=3.88\\\\work=949286.6J

3.) Rate of heat absorption

   COP\times Power\\

=3.88\times 1010watt=3918.8watt

Therefore, cooling in minutes=\frac{\frac{3683232}{3918.8}}{60}=15.66mins

COP cannot cycle= \frac{295}{324-295}\\\\=10.17=\frac{Q_{abs}}{power}

Rate of heat absorption =(1010\times 10.17)watt=10271.7min

cooling time in minutes with cannot cycle=\frac{\frac{3683232}{10271.7}}{60}=5.98mins
