Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

Oliga [24]

Answer:

A.) 411.6 Mega metres

B.) 411.6 × 10^18 Picometers

Explanation:

Given that One light-year is the distance light travels in one year. This distance is equal to 9461 1015 m.

After the sun, the star nearest to Earth is Alpha Centauri, which is about 4.35 light-years from Earth.

The distance travelled will be

Distance = 9461 1015 × 4.35

Distance = 411557915.3 m

To Express this distance in

a. megameters, divide the value by 1000000

411557915.3 / 1000000

411.5579153 Mega metre

411.6 Mega metres approximately

b. picometers, multiply by 10^12

That is, 411557915.3 × 10^12

411.6 × 10^18 Picometers

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 100 m/s. The 80.0 kg pilot does not want the centripetal acceleration
Tema [17]

Answer:

The force will be "5,488". A further solution is provided below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

speed,

v = 100m/s

mass,

m = 80 kg

acceleration,

a = 7

Now,

Radius will be:

⇒ r=\frac{v^2}{ac}

⇒    =\frac{(100)^2}{7\times 9.8}

⇒    =\frac{10000}{68.6}

⇒    =145.77

Force will be:

⇒ F=m\times ac

⇒     =80\times 68.6

⇒     =5488

Simple pendulum, is show in several states In case A the mass is travelling back down to the bottom and is in between the bottom
uysha [10]

The angular acceleration is maximum in case C

Explanation:

The motion of the bob in the simple pendulum is a portion of a circular motion. In a circular motion, the angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

a=\alpha r

where

a is the tangential acceleration

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the radius (the length of the pendulum)

Moreover for a pendulum, the tangential acceleration is given by the component of the acceleration of gravity in the tangential direction, so

a=g sin \theta

where

g is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle of the pendulum with the vertical

So we have

\alpha = \frac{g sin \theta}{r}

Since g and r are constant, we see that the angular acceleration is proportional to the angle: the larger the angle, the larger the angular acceleration, and the smaller the angle, the smaller the angular acceleration.

Therefore, the angular acceleration is maximum when the pendulum is at its maximum height, and zero when it is at the lowest position. So, the correct statements are

It is maximum in case C
