A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positi

Answer:

140m east

Explanation:

If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers

A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.

So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m

Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin

Susan, driving north at 53 mphmph , and Shawn, driving east at 63 mphmph , are approaching an intersection. Part A What is Shawn
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph

Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.

ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.

iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.

iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.

We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.

v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁   = 63 - 53 = 10 mph

Resultant velocity,

v = \sqrt{v_{2} ^{2}+ v_{1} ^{2}  }  =\sqrt{63^{2} +53^{2} }

v = 82.32 mph

A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6 uC charge generating an electric field. What is the
kvv77 [185]

The strength of the electric field is 5 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have:

Q=6 \mu C = 6\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge producing the field

r = 100 m is the distance from the charge at  which we want to calculate the field

Substituting into the equation, we find the s trength of the electric field:

E=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(6\cdot 10^{-6})}{(100)^2}=5.4 N/C \sim 5 N/C

a missile is moving 1810 m/s at a 20.0 degree angle. it needs to hit a target 19,500 m away in a 32.0 degree direction in 9.20 s
Ket [755]

Answer:

112 m/s², 79.1°

Explanation:

In the x direction, given:

x₀ = 0 m

x = 19,500 cos 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 cos 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 cos 32.0° = 0 + (1810 cos 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 21.01 m/s²

In the y direction, given:

y₀ = 0 m

y = 19,500 sin 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 sin 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 sin 32.0° = 0 + (1810 sin 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 109.6 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration is:

a² = ax² + ay²

a² = (21.01)² + (109.6)²

a = 112 m/s²

And the direction is:

θ = atan(ay / ax)

θ = atan(109.6 / 21.01)

θ = 79.1°

You're using a wedge to split a log. you are hitting the wedge with a large hammer to drive it into the log. it takes a force of
KIM [24]
The work performed on an object is the force multiplied by the distance it is moved, provided the movement is parallel to the force.  Since that is the case here, we can get the work by W=Fd=1900N x 0.23m = 437J.  This energy is used to split the wood.
