3.7. A dog searching for a bone walks 3.50 m south, then 8.20 m at an angle 23.1 degrees north of east, and finally 15.0 m west.

(a) What is the magnitude of the dog’s total displacement? (b) What is the direction of the dog’s total displacement where directly east is taken as zero degrees and counter-clockwise is positive?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement of dog in vector form , in terms of i , j , i representing east  and  j representing north .

Dog travels 3.5 m south .

Displacement D₁ = - 3.5 j

then dog travels 8.2 m , 23.1 degree north of east

Displacement D₂ = 8.2 cos23.1 i + 8.2 sin23 j

D₂ = 8.2 cos23.1 i + 8.2 sin23.1  j

= 7.54 i + 3.22 j  

Third displacement

D₃ = - 15i

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= - 3.5 j + 7.54 i + 3.22 j  -15i

= - 7.46 i - 0.28 j

Magnitude of displacement = √ ( 7.46² + .28²)

= √(55.65 + .08 )

= 7.46 m

b ) Direction of displacement

If Ф be angle , displacement makes with west direction

TanФ =  .08 / 55.65 = .00143

Ф = .082 degree south of west or almost west .

From east , this angle = 180 + .082 = 180.082 , counterclockwise .

A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a 6.10 m
natita [175]

Answer:

n = 5 approx

Explanation:

If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back

\frac{v_1}{v} = e ( coefficient of restitution ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10} }

and

\frac{v_1}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.

From the two equations we can write that

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }

So on

e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }\times \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }\times... \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_{n-1} }

(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} })^n=\frac{2.38}{6.1}= .00396

Taking log on both sides

- n / 2 = log .00396

n / 2 = 2.4

n = 5 approx

How to calculate final speed when the mass is 40,000kg height id 2.5km and 500,000N of force
Tju [1.3M]

The final speed when the mass is 40,000kg height is 2.5km and 500,000N of force is 176.8 m / s

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = m a

F = Force

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

m = 40000 kg

F = 500000 N

a = F / m

a = 500000 / 40000

a = 12.5 m / s²

a = v / t

v = d / t

v = Velocity

t = Time

d = Distance

d = 2.5 km = 2500 m

a = d / t²

12.5 = 2500 / t²

t² = 200

t = 14.14 s

v = 2500 / 14.14

v = 176.8 m / s

Therefore, the final speed is 176.8 m / s
