Answer:

Explanation:

The total distance is how far you walk from the starting point.

Distance through west = 18.0m

Distance through north = 25.0m

Total distance covered = 18.0+25.0m

Total distance covered = 43.0m

This means that I am 43.0m from the starting point

Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. The displacement will be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:

$d^2 = 25^2 + 18^2\\d^2 = 625+324\\d^2 = 949\\d = \sqrt{949}\\ d = 30.81m$

The direction of your displacement is 30.81m

Direction is gotten according to the formula;

$\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{y}{x} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{25}{-18} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}-1.3889}\\\theta = -60.27^0\\\theta = 180-60.27\\\theta = 119.7^0$

<em>Note that the direction to the west is negative, that is why the x is -18.0m</em>

Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds of

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) $V=7.5m/s$

b) $rms=8.4m/s$

c) Generally the most probable speed is 8m/s as it the most posses by particles being the average

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size N=15

$Speed 1 v_1=2m/s\\\\Speed 2 v_2=3m/s\\\\Speed 3 v_2=5m/s\\\\Speed 4 v_4=8m/s\\\\Speed 3 v_5=9m/s\\\\Speed 2 v_6=15m/s\\\\$

Generally the equation for Average speed is mathematically given by

$V_{avg}=\frac{\sum(nv)}{N}$

Therefore

$V_{avg}=\frac{(2+2(3)+3(5)+4(8)+3(9)+2(15))}{15}$

$V=7.5m/s$

b)

Generally the equation for RMS speed of the particle is mathematically given by

$rms=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(nv^2)}{N}}$

$rms=\sqrt{\frac{2^2+2(3)^2+3(5)^2+4(8)^2+3(9)^2+2(15)^2}{15}}$

$rms=\sqrt{69.73}$

$rms=8.4m/s$

c

Generally the most probable speed is 8m/s as it the most posses by particles being the average

Energy of a SpacecraftVery far from earth(at R=\infty), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kineticenergy is zero. If only

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$s_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM_e}{R_e^2}}$

Explanation:

In this case mechanical energy is conserved, which means that the sum of the initial kinetic energy and initial potential gravitational energy will be equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and final potential gravitational energy:

$K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f$

Which in our case will be:

$\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+\frac{-GM_em}{r_i^2}=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+\frac{-GM_em}{r_f^2}$

Which, since $v_i=0m/s$ , $r_i=infinity$ , $r_f=R_e$ , $v_f=s_e$ and canceling <em>m</em> means that:

$\frac{s_f^2}{2}=\frac{GM_e}{R_e^2}$

Solving for the final velocity we get:

$s_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM_e}{R_e^2}}$

Un bloque de 750 kg es empujado hacia arriba por una pista inclinada 15º respecto de la horizontal. El coeficiente de rozamiento

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

4776.98 N is the minimum force to start the rise.

Explanation:

We can use the first Newton's law to find the minimum force to move the block.

So we will have:

$F-W_{x}-F_{f}=0$

Where:

F is the force
W(x) is the weight of the block in the x direction, W = mg*sin(15)
F(f) is the static friction force (F(f) = μN), μ is the static friction coefficient 0.4.

$F=W_{x}+F_{f}=mgsin(15)+\mu N$

$F=mgsin(15)+\mu mgcos(15)$

$F=mg(sin(15)+\mu cos(15))$

$F=750*9.81(sin(15)+0.4*cos(15))$

$F=4776.98 N$

Therefore 4776.98 N is the minimum force to move the block.

I hope it helps you!
