Adhira loves to ride her bike around the neighborhood. She starts riding 1.2 miles at 30° S of E. Then, she rides another 2.0 mi

les at 20° W of S. Next, she rides 1.6 miles at 30° S of W. And finally, she rides 2.6 miles at 15° W of N. What is her final displacement from her starting point?

Answer:

D = 1.8677 miles , θ = 24.28º at South of West

Explanation:

This is an exercise in adding vectors, the easiest way to solve them is to decompose the vectors and add each component algebraically. Let's use trigonometry

first displacement. d = 1.2 miles to 30º south of East

     cos ( 360-30) = cos (-30) = x₁ / d

     sin (-30) = y₁ / d

     x₁ = d cos (-30)

     y₁ = d sin (-30)

     x₁ = 1.2 cos (-30) = 1,039 miles

     y₁ = 1.2 sin (-30) = -0.6 miles

second shift. d = 2.0 miles to 20º West of South

       cos (270-20) = x₂ / d

       cos (250) = y₂ / d

       x₂ = 2.0 cos 250 = -0.684 miles

       y₂ = 2.0 sin250 = -1.879 miles

Third displacement. d = 1.6 miles to 30º South of West

       cos (180 + 30) = x₃ / d

       sin (210) = y₃ / d

       x₃ = 1.6 cos 210 = -1.3856 miles

       y₃ = 1.6 sin 210 = -0.8 miles

Fourth displacement. d = 2.6 miles to 15º West of North

       cos (90 + 15) = x₄ / d

       sin (105) = y₄ / d

       x₄ = 2.6 cos 105 = -0.6729 miles

       y₄ = 2.6 sin 105 = 2,511 miles

having all the components we add

x-axis  (West-East direction)

       X = x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + x₄

       X = 1.039 -0.684 - 1.3846 - 0.6729

       X = -1.7025 miles

   

       Y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃ + y₄

       Y = -0.6 -1.879 -0.8 +2.511

       Y = -0.768

The modulus of this displacement is we use the Pythagorean theorem

      D = √ (X² + Y²)

      D = √ (1.7025² + 0.768²)

      D = 1.8677 miles

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

       tan θ = Y / X

       θ = tan⁻¹ Y / x

       θ = tan⁻¹ (0.768 / 1.7025)

       θ = 24.28º

as the two components are negative this angle is in the third quadrant

therefore in cardinal direction form is

         θ = 24.28º at South of West

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

An object of mass m is hung from a spring and set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T.
sergejj [24]

Answer:\sqrt{2}T

Explanation:

Given

object of mass m is suspended from spring and set in oscillation with time Period T

We know Time period of a mass in oscillation is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where k=spring constant

When mass m is replaced by a mass of 2 m time period is given by

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}T

i.e. New time period becomes \sqrt{2} times of previous one
