A cyclist makes the following trip along two vectors; he travels 9km to the north and then travels 6km to the east​
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Final distance from the origin: 10.82 km. the vector points as shown in the attached image.

Angle with respect to the east: 56.31^o

Explanation:

Please refer to the attached image. The cyclist's trip is indicated with the green arrows (9 km to the north followed by 6 km to the east.

So his final position is at the tip of this last vector, and indicated by the orange vector drawn form the point where the trip starts to the cyclist's final location.

We observe that this orange vector is in fact the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, and we can estimate the distance from the origin by the Pythagorean theorem:

d=\sqrt{9^2+6^2} \\d=\sqrt{81+36} \\d=\sqrt{117} \\d=10.82 \,\,km

Notice that this is NOT the actual number of km that the cyclist pedaled to reach the final point.

Now, to find the value of the angle \theta, we need to use trigonometry, and in particular the tangent function gives us the ratio between the side of the triangle "opposite" to the angle, divided the side "adjacent" to the angle:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opp}{adj} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{9}{6}\\tan(\theta)=\frac{3}{2}\\

Now we can find the value of the angle by using the arctan function:

tan(\theta)=\frac{3}{2} \\\theta=arctan(\frac{3}{2} )\\\theta= 56.31^o

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)
worty [1.4K]

Answer: \sqrt{2}

The linear momentum p is given by the following equation:

p=m.v   (1)

Where m is the mass and v the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy K is given by:

K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}   (2)

Which is the same as:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}  

2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}   (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of \sqrt{2} or 2^{1/2}:

Applying this in (2):

K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}>>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

What energy is calculated from an object’s mass, height, and the acceleration due to gravity? A. elastic kinetic B. elastic pote
Alex777 [14]

Answer: C. gravitational kinetic

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy is the energy calculated from an object's mass height and the acceleration due to gravity. The gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of the position of the object in a gravitational field.
