A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 3.20 km east. The truck makes a right turn and travels 2.45 km south to arrive a
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Displacement of the delivery truck, d_1=3.2\ km (due east)

Then the truck moves, d_2=2.45\ km (due south)

Let d is the magnitude of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse. The net displacement is given by :

d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}

d=\sqrt{3.2^2+2.45^2}

d = 4.03 km

Let \theta is the direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse from south of east.

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2.45}{3.2})

\theta=37.43^{\circ}

So, the magnitude and direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse is 4.03 km, 37.4° south of east.

What is the speed of the animal from 0-20s? <br><br> 50 m/s<br> 0.4 m/s<br> 20 m/s<br> 2.5 m/s
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.

In the time interval 0-20 s, we have

d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m

t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{50 m}{20 s}=2.5 m/s

If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of c
Sloan [31]

Answer:

q = 4.87 X 10^ -14 C

Explanation:

As d=0.350 mm

The ink drop will be accelerated by the electric field between the plates:

a = F/m

d = a(D0 / v)^2 / 2 ...... 1

a = qE/m ............... 2

Substituting 2  into 1:

d = (qE/m)(D0 / v)^2 / 2

q = 2mdv^2 / [E(D0)^2]

q = 2(1.00e-11 kg)(3.50e-4 m)(15.0 m/s)^2 / [(7.70e4 N/C)(2.05e-2 m)^2]

q = 4.87e-14 C
