Answer:

250 m

Explanation:

Since North and East are 90 degrees from each other, we can treat this as a right-angled triangle, with the distance in each direction being the sides and the distance from the starting point being the hypotenuse.

Hence, sqrt(150^2+200^2) = 250 m.

Hope this helped!

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

$T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Inserting the values

$T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}$

T = 31.1 N

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x)=(2.0J/m3)x3−(15J/m2)x2+(36J/m)x−23JU(x)=(2.0J/m

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:x=2 and x=3

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy for a certain mass is

$U(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x-23$

and we know force is given by

$F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}$

$F=-(2\times 3x^2-15\times 2x+36)$

For Force to be zero F=0

$\Rightarrow 6x^2-30x+36=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-5x+6=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-2x-3x+6=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(x-3)=0$

Therefore at x=2 and x=3 Force on particle is zero.

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave? why?Give reason

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it. The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.
