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'

John realized that his orchard has been invaded by certain harmful invasive plants. These plants are consuming all the soil nutr

Dovator [93]

John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

$a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

$a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

$a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

$a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2$

kristine speeds past a parked police car at 32 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. Ho

Digiron [165]

$32 = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2} \\ 32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2} \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2} \\ \frac{32}{1.25} = \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25} \\ t {}^{2} = 25.6 \\ \sqrt{t {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25.6} \\ t = 5.1seconds \\$
