First, we resolve the northeast displacement into its north and east components. The angle from the positive x-axis of a northeast displacement is 45 degrees. Thus:
North = 8.46sin(45) = 5.98 m
East = 8.46cos(45) = 5.98 m

North displacement = 5.98 - 3.6 = 2.38 m
West displacement = 15.6 - 5.98 = 9.62

Magnitude = √(2.38² + 9.62²)
Magnitude = 9.91 m

Direction:
tan∅ = 2.38 / 9.62
∅ = 13.9° north from east

The magnitude of resultant displacement of the dog is \boxed{9.91\,{\text{m}}}  and the direction of resultant displacement is \boxed{13.89^\circ }  north of west.

Further Explanation:

The displacement of the dog is as shown in the figure attached below. The dog moves from the point A\to B\to C\to D .

As the dog moves from A to B, it is a straight line and it is displaced by a distance of 3.6\,{\text{m}}  from its initial position. After that, the dog moves by a distance of 8.46\,{\text{m}}  in the north-east direction.

The resultant displacement of the dog from point B to point C in the horizontal direction is:

\begin{aligned}B{C_x}&=8.46\cos45^\circ\\&=5.98\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

The displacement from B to C in vertical direction is:

\begin{aligned}B{C_y}&=8.46\sin45^\circ\\&=5.98\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

Then after this displacement, the dog moves from point C to point D in the horizontal direction.

So the final displacement of the dog in the horizontal direction is:

\begin{aligned}{d_x}&=15.6-5.98\\&=9.62\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

Displacement of the dog in the vertical direction is:

\begin{aligned}{d_y}&=5.98-3.6\\&=2.38\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the magnitude of total displacement of the dog from initial position is:

\begin{aligned}AD&=\sqrt{{{\left({9.62}\right)}^2}+{{\left({2.38}\right)}^2}}\\&=\sqrt{98.21}\\&=9.91\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

The direction of final displacement of the dog is:

\begin{aligned}\theta&={\tan ^{-1}}\left({\frac{{{d_y}}}{{{d_x}}}}\right)\\&={\tan^{-1}}\left({\frac{{2.38}}{{9.62}}}\right)\\&=13.89^\circ\,{\text{north}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{west}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the magnitude of resultant displacement of the dog is \boxed{9.91\,{\text{m}}}  and the direction of resultant displacement is \boxed{13.89^\circ }  north of west.

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!
Olin [163]
The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.

Bonus: (It's not that hard, you just have to pay attention to units.) The Saturn V rocket first stage
agasfer [191]

v = 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as

F = \dfrac{d{p}}{d{t}} (1)

Assuming that the velocity remains constant then

F = \dfrac{d}{dt}(mv) = v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Solving for v, we get

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)

Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:

The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is

F = 7.5×10^6\:\text{lbs}×\dfrac{4.45\:\text{N}}{1\:\text{lb}} = 3.34×10^7\:\text{N}

The exhaust rate dm/dt is

\dfrac{dm}{dt} = 15\dfrac{T}{s}×\dfrac{2000\:\text{lbs}}{1\:\text{T}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{kg}}{2.2\:\text{lbs}}

\;\;\;\;\;= 1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}

Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)} = \dfrac{3.34×10^7\:\text{N}}{1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}}

\;\;\;= 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}
