You are lost at night in a large, open field. Your GPS tells you that you are 122.0 m from your truck, in a direction 58.0o east

of south. You walk 72.0 m due west along a ditch. How much farther, and in what direction, must you walk to reach your truck?

Answer:

The person is 187[m] farther and 70° south to east.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by drawing a sketch of the location of the person and the truck, then we will draw the displacement vectors and finally the length of the vector and the direction of the vector will be measured in order to give the correct indication of where the person will have to move.

First we establish an origin of a coordinate system.

We can see in the attached schema that the red vector is the displacement vector from the last point to where the truck is located.

The length of the vector is 187 [m], and the direction is 70 degrees south to East.

How do you use vectors daily without realizing it was a vector?<br><br> I need help ASAP !!!

jonny [76]

Explanation:

Vectors are quantities that has both magnitude and direction. A vector is described in terms of quantity and the direction it is headed.

There are different forms of vectors that are used in our daily life.

When we describe the motion of a car and the direction it is heading, we are simply talking about its velocity which is a vector.
When we say James treks 2km from his school to the house everyday, we are simply describing his displacement.
When we apply a force to push the table from one corner of the room to another point, is simply a vector
When we change position, it is a vector application.

A reciprocating compressor is a device that compresses air by a back-and-forth straight-line motion, like a piston in a cylinder

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular frequency = 150 rpm

Stroke = 2.00 mol

Initial temperature = 390 K

Supplied power = -7.9 kW

Rate of heat = -1.1 kW

We need to calculate the time for compressor

Using formula of compression

$\terxt{time for compression}=\text{time for half revolution}$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times T$

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\terxt{time for compression}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{150}\times60$

$\terxt{time for compression}=0.2\ sec$

We need to calculate the rate of internal energy

Using first law of thermodynamics

$U=Q-W$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}-\dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=(-1.1)-(7.9)$

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=6.8\ kW$

We need to calculate the temperature change per compression stroke

Using formula of rate of internal energy

$\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{nc_{v}\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta\theta=\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta t}\times\dfrac{\Delta t}{n\times c_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=6.8\times10^{3}\dfrac{0.2}{2.0\times20.93}$

$\Delta\theta=32.48^{\circ}$

Hence, The temperature change per compression stroke is 32.48°.

PLEASE HELP!!<br> What is osteoporosis? What are the symptoms and treatments?

Korvikt [17]

Explanation:

Osteopetrosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. It causes the body to constantly absorb and replace bone tissue. With osteoporosis, new bone creation doesn't keep up with old bone removal.

While some don't experience symptoms, common symptoms can include bone fracture and a decrease in height.

Most treatments include supplements and diet modifications.

A 49 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s just before hitting the ground.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) $\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

b) $K=0.27kJ$

c) $F_f=0.45kN$

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy is given by:

$U_g=m.g.h\\$

$\Delta U_g=m.g.h_f-m.g.h_i\\\Delta U_g=49kg*9.8m/s^2*(0m-11m)\\\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ$

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2\\$

the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:

$K=\frac{1}{2}*49kg*(3.3m/s^2)^2\\K=0.27kJ$

applying the conservation of energy theorem:

$U_g-W_f=K_f\\W_f=-(\Delta K+\Delta U)\\W_F=5.3kJ-0.27kJ\\W_F=-5.0kJ$

The work done by the friction force is given by:

$W_f=F_f.h.cos(\theta)\\$

the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:

$F_f=\frac{W_f}{h.cos(\theta)}\\\\F_f=\frac{-5.0kJ}{11m.cos(180^o)}\\\\F_f=0.45kN$
