A cyclist rides 6.3 km east for 21 minutes, then he turns and heads west for 6 minutes and 1.8 km. Finally, he rides east for 13

.2 km, which takes 44 minutes. (Assume motion toward the east is positive. Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) What is the final displacement of the cyclist?

Answer:

\vec{d}=17.7km

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that defines the position of a particle. The vector extends from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, the displacement only takes into account this positions, since its trajectory is not important:

\vec{d}=6.3km-1.8km+13.2km\\\vec{d}=17.7km

A vector quantity must include both magnitude and direction. Which measurement is a vector quantity? A) the rain accumulation at
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a
mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U=Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

W=-150 kJ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

\Delta U=+60 kJ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

Lab: Motion
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: In this lab we wanted to know how motion can be described. So the hypothesis is if the starting height of a sloped racetrack is increased, then the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase because the toy car will have a greater acceleration. My prediction is that cars travel faster on higher tracts. So the heighten the track was intentionally manipulated. So it is the independent variable the speed of the car is the dependent variable. The speed at the first quarter checkpoint is 1.09 m/s. The speed at the second quarter checkpoint is 1.95 m/s. The speed at the third quarter checkpoint is 2.373.36 m/s. The speed at the finish line is  2.803.00 m/s. The average speed increases as the height increases.

The cars on the higher track travel farther than the cars on the lower track, in the same time.

This means that the cars on the higher track have a greater average speed than those on the lower track. This is demonstrated by the

slope of the higher track line being greater than the slope of the lower track line.

Explanation: put it in notes then send it to files to compress it to submit it.
