Answer:

The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.

Explanation:

Understanding

The trip has four stages, one in each cardinal directions
Each stage lasts only 1 hour, but the distance traveled is different

Displacement in East = Distance traveled in east - Distance traveled in west

Displacement in East = 2 - 1 = 1 mile

Displacement in south = Distance traveled in south - Distance traveled in north

Displacement in south = 4 - 3 = 1 mile

Total Displacement = $\sqrt{1^{2} +1^{2}$

Total displacement = $\sqrt{2}= 1.41 miles$

Analysis

The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.

No, of course not. The biker at the end of the journey have a net displacement of 1.41 miles in the south-east direction

The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.

No, the hiker walked slowest from 12:00-1:00

The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.

No, the hiker walked fastest from 11:00-12:00

The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.

Yes, the hiker walked fasteset from 11:00-12:00,

A.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest stage

b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage

c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage

d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel

Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

$V =\pi r^2 h$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048$

$V= 22.23\m^3$

$V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter$

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

$P=\dfrac{E}{V}$

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}$

$P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L$

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped? assume t

Ivenika [448]

Time taken by the package to reach the sea level= 13.7 s

height=h=925 m

initial velocity along vertical= vi=0

acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8 m/s^2

using the kinematic equation h= Vi*t + 1/2 gt^2

925=0(t)+1/2 (9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2=925

t= 13.7 s

If you walk at an average speed of 5 km/h for 30 minutes, how

Inessa05 [86]

The distance that would be accumulated during the journey is 2.5 meters

The parameters given in the question are written below;

average speed= 5 km/hr

time = 30 minutes

convert 30 minutes to hours

= 30/60

= 0.5 hours

Distance-= speed × time

= 5 × 0.5

= 2.5 meters

Hence the distance of the entire journey is 2.5 meters

On a horizontal surface is located

Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

n - w = 0

where n = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and w = weight of the object. Hence n = w = mg = 196 N, where m = 20 kg and g = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of static friction µ is such that

80 N = µ (196 N) → µ = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of kinetic friction ν is

40 N = ν (196 N) → ν = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: µ and ν are the Greek letters mu and nu)
