A pilot flies her route in two straight-line segments. The displacement vector A for the first segment has a magnitude of 232 km

and a direction 30.0o north of east. The displacement vector B for the second segment has a magnitude of 168 km and a direction due west. The resultant displacement vector is R = A + B and makes an angle θ with the direction due east. Using the component method, find (a) the magnitude of R and (b) the directional angle θ.

Answer:

a) 121 km

b) 74°

Explanation:

To start with, we assume that there exist two components, the East and the North. We'd be representing the East, by "e" and the North, by "n"

Now we start with the

First vector:

east1 = 232 cos 30 = 201

north1 = 232 sin 30 = 116

Now, that of the second vector will be

east 2 = - 168

north2 = 0

Next, we add the two together and get

East components

201 - 168 = 33 east

North components

116 + 0 = 116

Therefore, the magnitude has to be

magnitude = √(33² + 116²)

Magnitude = √14545

Magnitude = 121

tanθ = 116/33

Tanθ = 3.51

θ = tan^-1 3.51

θ = 74° North East

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.
skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>
