Explanation:

Displacement is the straight line distance from the starting position to the final position.

Person X walks halfway around circle. So her displacement is 100 m.

Person Y walks 3/4 of the way around. So his displacement is 50√2 m ≈ 70.7 m.

Person Z walks completely around the circle, so their displacement is 0 m.

Therefore:

Z < Y < X

g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, the

ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

sin θ = m λ / a

sin θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

sin θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

θ = sin⁻¹ 0.378

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

θ = 22.2º

A person has legs of length L = 1.10 m. (a) If the maximum angle between the legs during walking is ϕ = 50o , what is the person

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a). Maximum Length L=0.929m

b). T=0.83 Hz or 1.2s

c). Longer, the effortless waling T=2.1 Hz or t=0.475s

d). t=1.2s V=0.774 $\frac{m}{s}$

t=0.475s V=1.95 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Length legs=L=1.1m

angle=50

the step that give the person forms a triangle whose two sides are known and the angle that forms between them, then using trigonometry as the image

Divide the original triangle in two and form a right triangle so the angle is 25 and the L is hypotenuse and the opposite is the step length

a).

$sin(\alpha) =\frac{op}{h}$

$op=h*sin(\frac{\alpha }{2})\\ op=1.1m*sin(\frac{50}{2})\\op=0.464m$

Length of the step

L=0.464m*2

L=0.928m

b).

period=T

$T=\frac{1}{time}=\frac{1}{t}\\ T=\frac{1}{1.2s}\\T=0.83 s^{-1}\\ T=0.83Hz$

c).

$T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{1.1m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\ T1=2.1 Hz$

The period is the inverse of the time of the motion so, the T1 is faster that the T because

$t=\frac{1}{T1}=t= \frac{1}{2.1}=0.47s$

d).

The speed is the relation between the distance with time so:

$Vt=\frac{0.928m}{1.2s} \\Vt=0.773 \frac{m}{s} \\Vt=\frac{0.928m}{0.475s} \\Vt=1.953 \frac{m}{s}$

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph

Bumek [7]

The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
