How are a symbol and a model both examples of a representation?

Physics
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A symbol and a model are both examples of a representation because they are presented in place of the real thing.

Explanation:

A symbol is a sign, a letter, mark, token, figure, or image used to stand in place of an object, function, or process.  For example, co2 is used in Chemistry to represent carbon dioxide.  There are many symbols representing other objects or meanings.  Mathematically, we can state that "a" equals 40.  "a" is a symbol representing the numerical value "40." Similarly, a model is a representation of a structure or a person on a smaller scale.  For example, Architects produce models of buildings and other projects that they design.

The compass of an airplane indicates that it is headed due north and its airspeed indicator shows that it is moving through the
yarga [219]

Answer:

Airplane speed relative to the ground is 260 km/h and θ = 22.6º  direction from north to east

Explanation:

This is a problem of vector composition, a very practical method is to decompose the vectors with respect to an xy reference system, perform the sum of each component and then with the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry find the result.

Let's take the north direction with the Y axis and the east direction as the X axis

         Vy = 240 km / h            airplane

         Vx = 100 Km / h              wind

a) See the annex

Analytical calculation of the magnitude of the speed and direction of the aircraft

         V² = Vx² + Vy²

         V = √ (240² + 100²)

         V = 260 km/h

Airplane speed relative to the ground is 260 km/h

         Tan θ = Vy / Vx

         tan θ = 100/240

         θ = 22.6º

           

Direction from north to eastb

b) What direction should the pilot have so that the resulting northbound

          Vo = 240 km/h      airplane

          Vox = Vo cos θ

          Voy = Vo sin  θ

          Vx = 100 km / h      wind

To travel north the speeds the x axis (East) must add zero

         Vx -Vox = 0

         Vx = Vox = Vo cos θ

         100 = 240 cos θ

          θ = cos⁻¹ (100/240)

          θ = 65.7º

North to West Direction

The speed in that case would be

           V² = Vx² + Vy²

To go north we must find Vy

          Vy² = V² - Vx²

          Vy = √( 240² - 100²)

          Vy = 218.2 km / h

A 80 kg parent and a 20 kg child meet at the center of an ice rink. They place their hands together and push. The parent pushes
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

force acting on the parent = 25 N .

Explanation:

According to third law of Newton , there is equal and opposite reaction to every action . Here force by the parent on child is action and the force by child on parent is reaction . The former is given as 25 N so force by child on parent will also be 25 N .

Answer is 25 N .

Two workers in a holiday boutique are filling stockings with small gifts and candy. Kate has already filled 5 stockings and will
Vlad [161]

This question is stated in a complicated way, but all the information we need is right there waiting to be untangled.

We'll start the clock when Todd arrives.  At that time:

-- Kate has 5 done.  Todd has none yet.  Todd is 5 units behind.

From then on:

-- The clock is running.  Kate adds 4 an hour to her total.  Todd adds 5 an hour.

-- She started out 5 ahead of Todd when he arrived, but Todd does 1 more than Kate every hour.

-- So Kate's 'lead' shrinks by 1 every hour.

-- So <em>Todd will catch up with Kate</em> <em>in 5 hours</em>.

That's the answer to the question ... How long ?  It doesn't ask us how many stockings have been filled, but that's easy for us to figure out:

-- Kate had 5 done when the clock started.  She fills 4 every hour.  After 5 hours, she has (5 x 4) = 20 more filled, and a total of 25 ready to sell.

-- Todd started out with none done.  He fills 5 every hour.  After 5 hours, he has (5 x 5) = 25 filled and ready to sell.  He has caught up with Kate in 5 hours.
