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.

2001240Determine the specific kinetic energy of a mass whose velocity is 40 m/s, in kJ/kg.
guapka [62]

Answer:

The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 40 m/s

Specific kinetic energy is the kinetic energy per unit mass.

We need to calculate the specific kinetic energy

Using formula of specific kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{m}

K.E=\dfrac{v^2}{2}

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{40^2}{2}

K.E=800\ J/kg

We know that,

1 kJ = 1000 J

or, 1J=0.001 KJ

The specific energy is

K.E=800\times0.001

K.E=0.8\ kJ/kg

Hence, The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

The measurement of an exoplanet radius is measured in units compared to
maksim [4K]
<span>After an exoplanet has been identified using a given detection method, scientists attempt to identify the basic properties of the planet which can tell us what it might be made of, how hot it might be, whether or not it contains an atmosphere, how that atmosphere might behave, and finally, whether the planet may be suitable for life. It is often useful to first determine basic properties of the parent star (such as mass and distance from the Earth). This is then followed by the use of planetary detection methods to calculate planetary mass, radius, orbital radius, orbital period, and density. The density calculation will provide clues as to what the planet is made of and whether or not it contains a significant atmosphere. Mass and Distance of Parent Star The mass and distance of an exoplanet's parent star must often be calculated first, before certain measurements of the exoplanet can be made. For example, determining the star's distance is an important step in determining a star's mass (see below). Knowing the mass of a star then allows the mass of the planet to be measured, for example when using the Radial Velocity Method.</span>

A 3.0 pF capacitor consists of two parallel plates that have surface charge densities of 1.0 nC/mm2 . If the potential between t
Archy [21]

Answer:

A=81mm^2

Explanation:

We know that for a capacitor Q=CV, where <em>Q </em>is the charge of one plate, <em>C</em> the capacitance and <em>V</em> the potential between the plates.

We also know that Q=\sigma A, since \sigma is the surface charge density and <em>A</em> the area of the plate (both equal in our case).

Putting all together:

A=\frac{CV}{\sigma}

Which for our values is:

A=\frac{(3\times10^{-12}F)(27\times10^3V)}{1\times10^{-9}C/mm^2}=81mm^2

Where we notice that the S.I. units combination FV/C must not have units (we can verify it directly from their definitions or we notice that mm^2 is enough to describe an area).

What is the ratio of the earth's gravitational force on you, to your gravitational force on the earth?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

n this case, if the earth' mass goes up by 10%, then the force of gravity on you, or your weight, will increase by the same amount, that is 10%
