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)
levacccp [35]

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].

A 2.13-kg object on a frictionless horizontal track is attached to the end of a horizontal spring whose force constant is 5.00 N
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

17.54N in -x direction.

Explanation:

Amplitude (A) = 3.54m

Force constant (k) = 5N/m

Mass (m) = 2.13kg

Angular frequency ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(5/2.13)

ω = 1.53 rad/s

The force acting on the object F(t) = ?

F(t) = -mAω²cos(ωt)

F(t) = -2.13 * 3.54 * (1.53)² * cos (1.53 * 3.50)

F(t) = -17.65 * cos (5.355)

F(t) = -17.57N

The force is 17.57 in -x direction

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

25% part (c) assume that d is the distance the cheetah is away from the gazelle when it reaches full speed. Derive an expression
levacccp [35]

maximum speed of cheetah is

v_1 = v_{max}

speed of gazelle is given as

v_2 = v_{g}

Now the relative speed of Cheetah with respect to Gazelle

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = v_{max} - v_g

now the relative distance between Cheetah and Gazelle is given initially as "d"

now the time taken by Cheetah to catch the Gazelle is given as

d = v_{12}* t

so by rearranging the terms we can say

t = \frac{d}{v_{12}}

t = \frac{d}{v_{max} - v_g}

so above is the relation between all given variable
