A hungry rat is placed in a maze. It walks the following path to find a piece of cheese. 4.0m N, 7.5 m E, 6.8 m S, 3.7 m E, 3.6
storchak [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall take the help of vector form of displacement . Taking east as i and north as j

4.0m N = 4 j

7.5 m E = 7.5 i

6.8 m S = - 6.8 j

3.7 m E, = 3.7 i

3.6 m S = - 3.6 j

5.3 m W = - 5.3 i

3.7 m N, = 3.7 j

5.6 m W = - 5.6 i

4.4 m S = - 4.4 j

4.9 m W = -  4.9 i

Total displacement = 4j +7.5 i -6.8j+3.7i-3.6j-5.3i+3.7j-5.6i-4.4j-4.9i

= -4.6 i -7.1 j

magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{(4.6^2+7.1^2)}

= 8.46 m

Direction

Tanθ = 7.1/ 4.6

θ = 57⁰ south of west .

distance walked = 4+7.5 +6.8+3.7+3.6+5.3+3.7+5.6+4.4+4.9

= 49.5 m

How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?
Ymorist [56]
The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

A pendulum is transported from sea-level, where the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.80 m/s2, to the bottom of Death Valley. A
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration due to gravity at the point is g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets say the acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of Death valley is g'

as the period of the pendulum is decreased by 3.00%

T' = 0.97 T  

T is the period of the pendulum at sea level  and T' is the period of the pendulum at bottom of Death valley

therefore from the relation

T = 2π√(l/g)

g'/g = T²/T'²

g' = (T²/ (0.97T)²)g

g' = 1.063g

g' = 10.417 m/s²

therefore the value of g in Death Valley is 10.417 m/s²
