On a safari, a team of naturalists sets out toward a research station located 4.63 km away in a direction 38.7 ° north of east.

After traveling in a straight line for 2.13 km, they stop and discover that they have been traveling 25.9 ° north of east, because their guide misread his compass.
What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (as a positive angle relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?

Exactly, it is a vector subtraction problem.  Let t=theta,

t1=38.7, d1=4.63;  t2=25.9, d2=2.13

v1=d1 <cos(t1), sin(t1)>=<3,6134, 2.8949>

v2=d2 <cos(t2), sin(t2)>=<1.9161, 0.9304>

Final vector

v3 = v1-v2

=<v3x, v3y>

=<1.6973, 1.9645>

where

v3x=d1*cos(t1)-d2*cos(t2)

v3y=d1*sin(t1)-d2*sin(t2)

The final vector v3 has therefore a magnitude of

||v3||=sqrt(1.6973^2+1.9645^2)=2.5962, and a direction of

theta=atan(1.9645/1.6973)=49.17 degrees  north of east

Note: all three vectors are in the direction of the first quadrant.

A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.

The flow control circuit design that can best control an overrunning load is the ____ circuit.
lara31 [8.8K]

The meter out circuit is the flow control circuit design that can most effectively control an overrunning load.

The meter-out circuit can be very accurate, but are not efficient. The meter-out circuit can control overrunning as well as opposing loads while the other one method must be used with opposing loads only. The choice of flown control valve method and the location of the flow control in the circuit are dependent on the type of application being controlled.

<h3>What is a Circuit ?</h3>

In electronics, a circuit is a complete circular conduit through which electricity flows. A simple circuit consists of conductors, a load, and a current source. The term "circuit" broadly refers to any continuous path via which electricity, data, or a signal might flow.

  • The directional valve shifts, causing the actuator to move faster than pump flow can fill it due to an overrunning load. Oil is leaking from one side, whereas there is none on the other.

Hence, flow control circuit design that can best control an overrunning load is the opposing circuit

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

242.85 Hz

Explanation:

For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...

Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.

The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.

Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,

ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4

ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.

f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz
