A plane leaves the airport in Galisteo and flies 160 km at 66.0 ∘ east of north; then it changes direction to fly 260 km at 49.0

∘ south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture?

<u>The question doesn't have any particular requirement, but we'll compute the displacement of the plane from its initial and final landing point in the pasture </u>

Answer:

\displaystyle |\vec{r}|=321.464\ km

\displaystyle \theta =-19.395^o

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

The vector displacement \vec r is a measure of the change of position of a moving object. The displacement doesn't depend on the path followed, only on the final and initial positions. Its scalar counterpart, the distance, does measure the total space traveled and considers all the changes in the direction taken by the object. To find the displacement, we must add all the particular displacements by using vectors.

The plane first flies 160 km at 66° east of north. To find the vector expression of this displacement, we must know the angle with respect to the East direction or North of East. Knowing the angle East of North is 66°, the required angle is 90°-66°=34°

The first vector is expressed as

\displaystyle \vec{r_1}=\left \langle 160^o\ cos34^o, 160\ sin34^o \right \rangle

\displaystyle \vec{r_1}=\left \langle 132.646, 89.471 \right \rangle

The second displacement is 260 km at 49° South of East. This angle is below the horizontal respect to the reference, thus we use -49°.  

The second vector is expressed as:

\displaystyle \vec{r_2}=\left \langle 260\ cos(-49^o), 260\ sin(-49^o)\right \rangle

\displaystyle \vec{r_2}=\left \langle 170.575,-196.224\right \rangle

The total displacement is computed as the vectorial sum of both vectors

\displaystyle \vec{r}=\vec{r_1}+\vec{r_2}=\left \langle 132.646+170.575\right \rangle+ \left \langle89.471-196.224\right \rangle

\displaystyle \vec{r}=\left \langle 303.221,-106.753\right \rangle\ km

The magnitude of the total displacement is

\displaystyle |\vec{r}|=\sqrt{303.221^2+(-106,753)^2}

\displaystyle |\vec{r}|=321.464\ km

And the direction is

\displaystyle tan\ \theta =\frac{-106.753}{303.221}=-0.352

\displaystyle \theta =-19.395^o

Q1. In a 100m track event, the time taken by four runners is 10 sec., 10.2 sec., 10.4 sec and 10.6 sec. Find the ratio of their
Anna35 [415]
Distance (s)=100m
time
T₁=10
T₂=10.2
T₃=10.4
T₄=10.6
by v=\frac{s}{t}
we get
V₁=\frac{100}{10}
V₁=10m/s

V₂=\frac{100}{10.2}
V₂=9.8m/s

V₃=\frac{100}{10.4}
V₃=9.61 m/s

V₄=\frac{100}{10.6}
V₄=9.43 m/s

V₁:V₂:V₃:V₄ = 10 : 9.8 : 9.61 : 9.43

For main sequence stars what tends to happen to the absolute brightness of a star as the temperature rises? How do you know?
professor190 [17]

With the increase in the temperature of the star, the brightness of the stars will also increase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The brightness and surface temperature of stars ordinarily increment with age. A star stays close to its underlying situation on the fundamental arrangement until a lot of hydrogen in the center has been devoured, at that point starts to advance into a progressively brilliant star.

The brightness of a star relies upon its structure and how far it is from the planet. Space experts characterize star brilliance as far as clear extent — how splendid the star shows up from Earth — and outright greatness — how brilliant the star shows up at a standard separation

What information in the MSDS would be most important to know at the end of an experiment?
Artemon [7]
The most important information in the MSDS that is useful at the end of an experiment is how to manage or dispose of the waste materials of the experiment. This is important especially if the materials used are toxic. They cannot just be disposed in the sink or the trash bin. They must be disposed in a waste bottle or other methods.
