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 force of 60 N is applied to a skier to pull him along a horizontal surface so that his speed remains constant. If the coeffici
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1200\ \text{N}

Explanation:

F = Force on the skier = 60 N

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.05

w = Weight of skier

Force is given by

F=\mu w

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{F}{\mu}

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{60}{0.05}=\dfrac{6000}{5}

\Rightarrow w=1200\ \text{N}

Weight of the skier on which the force is being applied is 1200\ \text{N} .

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The correct option is;

E. motion of tectonic plates.

Explanation:

The Moon is formed from the Earth, and so have similar composition. However, the smaller size of the moon as well as the low temperature of the Moon's mantle compared to the interior of the earth, contribute the state of the Moon having no active tectonic plate motion and no convection.

The convection in the mantle, drives Earth's tectonic plate motions. The mantle within Earth moves at a rate of some centimeters annually, while the Moon, geologically is a dying world.
