A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a

magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. A vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is B = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east.
How far did the boat travel from the point where the distress call was made to the point where the boat was found? In other words, what is the magnitude of vector C?
A)65.3 km
B)39.7 km
C)26.5 km
D)54.0 km
E)42.5 km

Answer:

d = 39.7 km

Explanation:

initial position of the boat is 45 km away at an angle of 15 degree East of North

so we will have

r_1 = 45 sin15 \hat i + 45 cos15 \hat j

r_1 = 11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j

after some time the final position of the boat is found at 30 km at 15 Degree North of East

so we have

r_2 = 30 cos15\hat i + 30 sin15 \hat j

r_2 = 28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j

now the displacement of the boat is given as

d = r_2 - r_1

d = (28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j) - (11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j)

d = 17.34 \hat i - 35.7 \hat j

so the magnitude is given as

d = \sqrt{17.34^2 + 35.7^2}

d = 39.7 km

An 850-lb force is applied to a 0.15-in. diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 45,000 psi and a tensile strength of 55
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a)Yes will deform plastically

b) Will NOT experience necking

Explanation:

Given:

- Applied Force F = 850 lb

- Diameter of wire D = 0.15 in

- Yield Strength Y=45,000 psi

- Ultimate Tensile strength U = 55,000 psi

Find:

a) Whether there will be plastic deformation

b) Whether there will be necking.

Solution:

Assuming a constant Force F, the stress in the wire will be:

                       stress = F / Area

                       Area = pi*D^2 / 4

                       Area = pi*0.15^2 / 4 = 0.0176715 in^2

                       stress = 850 / 0.0176715

                       stress = 48,100.16 psi

      Yield Strength < Applied stress > Ultimate Tensile strength

                        45,000 < 48,100 < 55,000

Hence, stress applied is greater than Yield strength beyond which the wire will deform plasticly but insufficient enough to reach UTS responsible for the necking to initiate. Hence, wire deforms plastically but does not experience necking.

Water is discharged from a pipeline at a velocity v (in ft/sec) given by v = 1306p(1/2), where p is the pressure (in psi). If th
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\.

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

a=653*0.1667*0.354\\

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\  a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}

What quantity does the Hamiltonian correspond to? Rest mass Potential energy Total energy Kinetic energy Bohr frequency Lagrangi
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The correct option is: Total energy

Explanation:

The Hamiltonian operator, in quantum mechanics, is an operator that is associated with the<u> total energy of the system.</u> It is equal to the sum of the total kinetic energy and the potential energy of all the particles of the system.

The Hamiltonian operator was named after the Irish mathematician, William Rowan Hamiltonis denoted and is denoted by H.
