An athlete runs four laps of a 400 m track. What is the athlete's total displacement?​

Physics

7 0

Answer:

○ 0 \checkmark

Explanation:

Even if the athelete runs four laps of a 400 m track, its displacement will be 0 because the displacement is the shortest distance from its to final position. And, here the final and initial position is same since he comes to its initial position after covering certain distance. So, displacement is 0.

pantera1 [17]

Addition of vectors:

vector u

has a magnitude of 20 and a direction of 0º with respect to the horizontal, vector v has a magnitude of 40 and a direction of 60º with respect to the horizontal.

a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant to the nearest whole

number.

Vector Sum:

The resultant of two vectors is simply the vector sum of the vectors. There are a handful of ways to present the resultant factor; the notation that shows the vector magnitude and direction is called the polar vector notation. An example of a vector presented in polar vector notation is

a∠θ where a is the magnitude and θis the angle that the vector makes with the horizontal axis.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's first present the vectors in rectangular vector notation.

For the vector →u of magnitude 20 and direction 0∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →u=^i20.

For the vector →v

of magnitude 40 and direction 60∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →v=^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘.

The resultant vector →w is the vector sum of the vectors, i.e.

→w=→u+→v

=^i20+^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘

=^i(20+40cos60∘)+^j(40sin60∘)

=^i40+^j20√3

For a vector ^ix+^jy, the magnitude of the vector is √x2+y2 and the direction above the horizontal axis is θ=tan−1(yx).

Let's use the formulas:

|→w|∠θ=√(40)2+(20√3)2∠tan−1(20√340)≈52.9∠40.9∘

The magnitude of the vector is about 53 units in the direction 41-degrees above the horizontal axis.

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju
denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) h=250\ m

b) \Delta h=0.0835\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • upward acceleration of the helicopter, a=5\ m.s^{-2}
  • time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, t_a=10\ s

a)

<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>

using the equation of motion,

h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2

h=250\ m

b)

  • time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), t_f=7\ s
  • acceleration after deploying the parachute, a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2

where:

u= initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

t_f= time of free fall

h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2

h_f=240.1\ m

<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>

v_f=u+g.t_f

v_f=0+9.8\times 7

v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2

where:

u= initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

t_h= time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

h= height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2

t_h=7.1429\ s

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

<u>remaining time,</u>

t'=t_h-t_f

t'=7.1428-7

t'=0.1428\ s

<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>

h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2

h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2

h'=9.8165\ m

<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>

\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')

\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)

\Delta h=0.0835\ m
