Answer:

The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km

Explanation:

Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km

the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km

The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.

R' = x' + y'

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250

Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30$

coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.35$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.25$

distance traveled $d=77.3 cm$

spring constant $k=35 N/m$

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

$mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}$

$x=0.234 m$

$x=23.4 cm$

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.a.are inelasticb.never occurc. cause a loss of tota

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:

1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.

2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.

3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.

Therefore the correct answer will be d.

d. perfectly elastic

1.- An elevator is being lowered at a constant speed by a steel cable attached to an electric motor. Which statement is correct?

Nady [450]

Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the work definition

W = F. s

Where the bold characters indicate vectors and the point is the scalar producer

W = F s cos θ

Where θ is the angles between force and displacement.

Let us support this in our case. The cable creates an upward tension and with the elevator going down the angle between them is 180º so the work of the cable on the elevator is negative.

The evade has a downward force, its weight so the force goes down and the displacement goes down, as both are in the same direction the work is positive

When examining the statements the correct one is C
