Answer: 6.24 km

Explanation:

Given

The magnitude of the first vector(say) $\left | a\right |=5\ km$

the magnitude of the second vector(say) $\left | b\right |=7\ km$

the angle between them is $120^{\circ}$

The resultant vector magnitude is given by

$\left | \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}$

$\left | \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+2\times 5\times 7\cdot \cos 120^{\circ}}\\\left | \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{74-35}=\sqrt{39}\\\left | \vec{R}\right |=6.24\ km$

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

= (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

= 150/90

= 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

= 30/90

= 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.

Hence, $\Delta E$ = 0. And, as $\Delta E$ = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.
