<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

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studied? an electromagnetic wave a gamma ray
Anettt [7]
<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

The greatest variation in size, mass, and luminosity occurs in:.
Sidana [21]

The greatest variation in size, mass, and luminosity occurs in elliptical galaxies.

<h3>What is Variation?</h3>

This is defined as the difference from the norm which is exhibited by objects.

In the solar system, variation in features such as size, mass, and luminosity occurs mostly in elliptical galaxies due to presence of array of stars thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

A 2.00 kg box slides on a rough, horizontal surface, hits a spring with a speed of 1.90 m/s and compresses it a distance of 10.0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box m=2\ kg

speed of box v=1.9\ m/s

distance moved by the box x=10\ cm

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.66

Friction  force f_r=\mu_kN

f_r=0.66\times mg

f_r=0.66\times 2\times 9.8=12.936 \N

Kinetic Energy of box will be utilize to overcome friction and rest is stored in spring in the form of elastic potential energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=f_r\cdot x+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.9^2=12.936\times 0.1+\frac{1}{2}\times k\times (0.1)^2

3.61-1.2936=0.005\times k

k=463.28\ N/m
