A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

for 37.0 min. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to east) of its average velocity during this trip?

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, |v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h

\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = \frac{27}{60} h

Angle, \theta = 50^{\circ}

Time taken in 50^{\circ}east of due North direction, t' = 29 min =  \frac{29}{60} h

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min =  \frac{27}{60} h

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km

Displacement in  50^{\circ} east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}

\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km

Now, the overall displacement,

\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}

\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}

\vec{s_{net}} =  16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km

(a) Now, average velocity, v_{avg} is given:

v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}

v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}

v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h

(b) angle can be calculated as:

tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}

\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}

Por una resistencia de 10 Ω fluyen 5A. ¿Cuál será la diferencia de potencial que se le debe aplicar a la resistencia?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

V = 50 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance, R = 10 ohms

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the potential difference across the circuit. We know that,

V = IR

Put all the values,

V = 5 × 10

V = 50 volts

Hence, the potential difference is equal to 50 volts.

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Write a linear equation that expresses the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius (C) and degrees Fahrenheit (F
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Units Conversion </u>

The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales is well-known. But we'll use the provided data to derive the formula. Let's model the relationship between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) as a linear function like

F=mC+b

Where m and b must be computed according to the pair of conditions given. The values for each temperature scale are (C,F)=(0,32) and (100,212). Replacing the first value

32=m\times 0+b

It means that  

b=32

By using the second point

212=m\times 100+32

Solving for m

\displaystyle m=\frac{212-32}{100}=\frac{180}{100}

Simplifying

\displaystyle m=\frac{9}{5}

So, the conversion formula is

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

Which is the widely known formula for temperature conversion

Solving for C, we get the inverse relation

\boxed{\displaystyle C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)}
