A student walks 350 m [S], then 400 m [E20°N], and finally 550 m [N10°W]. Using the component method, find the resultant (total)

displacement). Round your answer to the appropriate significant figures. Round your angle to the nearest degree.

In component form, the displacement vectors become

• 350 m [S]   ==>   (0, -350) m

• 400 m [E 20° N]   ==>   (400 cos(20°), 400 sin(20°)) m

(which I interpret to mean 20° north of east]

• 550 m [N 10° W]   ==>   (550 cos(100°), 550 sin(100°)) m

Then the student's total displacement is the sum of these:

(0 + 400 cos(20°) + 550 cos(100°), -350 + 400 sin(20°) + 550 sin(100°)) m

≈ (280.371, 328.452) m

which leaves the student a distance of about 431.8 m from their starting point in a direction of around arctan(328.452/280.371) ≈ 50° from the horizontal, i.e. approximately 431.8 m [E 50° N].

How does the input distance of a single fixed pulley compare to the out- put distance?
ololo11 [35]

A pulley is another sort of basic machine in the lever family. We may have utilized a pulley to lift things, for example, a banner on a flagpole.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The point in a fixed pulley resembles the support of a lever. The remainder of the pulley behaves like the fixed arm of a first-class lever, since it rotates around a point. The distance from the fulcrum is the equivalent on the two sides of a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of one. Hence, a fixed pulley doesn't increase the force.

It essentially alters the direction of the force. A moveable pulley or a mix of pulleys can deliver a mechanical advantage of more than one. Moveable pulleys are appended to the item being moved. Fixed and moveable pulleys can be consolidated into a solitary unit to create a greater mechanical advantage.

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
guapka [62]
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state.  There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.

What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio
pantera1 [17]
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
