A lady walks 10 m to the north, then she turns and continues walking 30 m due east.

Physics
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The distance covered is 40 m and the displacement is 31,6m.

Explanation:

The distance covered is the sum of the two distances (10+30). The displacement is equal to the distance of the hipotenusa of the triangle that the two distances (10 m to north and 30m to east) create. Using the Pythagoras theorem the displacent is equal to the Square root of (30^2 +10^2) .

Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases
olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

Hope you understood

Suppose a rocket ship accelerates upwards with acceleration equal in magnitude to twice the magnitude of g (we say that the rock
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) s_a=98100\ m is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

b) v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1} is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

c) H=294300\ m

d) t_T=544.95\ s

e) Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

acceleration of rocket, a=2g=2\times 9.81=19.62\ m.s^{-2}

time for which the rocket accelerates, t_a=100\ s

<u>For the course of upward acceleration:</u>

using eq. of motion,

s_a=ut+\frac{1}{2}at_a^2

where:

u= initial velocity of the rocket at the launch =0

s_a= height the rocket travels just before its fuel finishes off

so,

s_a=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 19.62\times 100^2

a) s_a=98100\ m is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

<u>Now the velocity of the rocket just after the fuel is finished:</u>

v_a=u+at_a

v_a=0+19.62\times 100

b) v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1} is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

After the fuel is finished the rocket starts to decelerates. So, we find the height of the rocket before it begins to fall back towards the earth.

Now the additional height the rocket ascends before it begins to fall back on the earth after the fuel is consumed completely, at this point its instantaneous velocity is zero:

using equation of motion,

v^2=v_a^2-2gh

where:

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= final velocity of the rocket at the top height

0^2=1962^2-2\times 9.81\times h

h=196200\ m

c) So the total height at which the rocket gets:

H=h+s

H=196200+98100

H=294300\ m

d)

Time taken by the rocket to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

v=v_a+g.t

0=1962-9.81t

t=200\ s

Now the time taken to fall from the total height:

H=v.t'+\frac{1}{2}\times gt'^2

294300=0+0.5\times 9.81\times t'^2

t'=244.95\ s

Hence the total time taken by the rocket to strike back on the earth:

t_T=t_a+t+t'

t_T=100+200+244.95

t_T=544.95\ s

e)

Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.
