on his fishing trip Justine takes the boat 12 km south. The fish aren't biting so he goes 4 km west. He follows a school of fish

1 km north. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

[ Please make a chart by following the directions on your own, 'cause it's hard to explain, here (only directions), magnitudes and answers are here ] :

Distance = 12 + 4+ 1 = 17 Km
[Just add all the values ]

Displacement, Now, if you'll look at your triangle, which has formed by his directions, perpendicular is 11, base is 4, & you need to calculate that hypotenuse which is your displacement.

So, apply Pythagoras Theorem here:
H² = P² + B²
H² = 11² + 4²
H²= 121 + 16
H = √137= 11.70 Km

In short, Distance = 17 Km and Displacement = 11.70 Km

Hope this helps!

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t
pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin\theta\\ where;

r is the radius of the  of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

\theta\\ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm

In a nuclear reactor, each atom of uranium (of atomic mass 235 u) releases about 200 MeV when it fissions. What is the change in
Ket [755]

Answer:

0.002372187708 kg

Explanation:

Each atom of Uranium 235 releases 200 MeV = 200×10⁶×1.60218×10⁻¹⁹

= 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³ Joule

Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = (2.6/0.235)×6.02214076×10²³

⇒Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = 66.627×10²³ atoms

Change in energy = Change in mass / (speed of light)²

ΔE = Δmc²

⇒200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³ = Δm×(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³/(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 2372.187708×10⁻⁶ kg

∴Change in mass = 0.002372187708 kg
