A pizza delivery driver must make three stops on her route. She will first leave the restaurant and travel 4 km due north to the

first house. The next house is 6 km away at 45° south of west according to her map. The final stop is 5 km away at 60° north of west. What is her displacement from the restaurant to the final stop?

<h2>5.3 km</h2>

Explanation:

       This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

       Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors \vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j} as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

       By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors \vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2} in the directions North, 45^{o} South of West and 60^{o} North of West respectively.

       So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

       Displacement vector = 4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}

       Magnitude of Displacement = |-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km

∴ Total displacement = 5.3km

A major contribution of Johannes Kepler to the development of modern astronomy was:________.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

2. Two long parallel wires each carry a current of 5.0 A directed to the east. The two wires are separated by 8.0 cm. What is th
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of magnetic field at given point = 5.33 × 10^{-5} T

Explanation:

Given :

Current passing through both wires = 5.0 A

Separation between both wires = 8.0 cm

We have to find magnetic field at a point which is 5 cm from any of wires.

From biot savert law,

We know the magnetic field due to long parallel wires.

⇒ B = \frac{\mu_{0}i }{2\pi R}

Where B = magnetic field due to long wires, \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times10^{-7}, R = perpendicular distance from wire to given point

From any one wire R_{1}  = 5 cm, R_{2}  = 3 cm

so we write,

∴ B = B_{1} + B_{2}

 B = \frac{\mu_{0} i}{2\pi R_{1} } +  \frac{\mu_{0} i}{2\pi R_{2} }

 B =\frac{ 4\pi \times10^{-7} \times5}{2\pi } [\frac{1}{0.03} + \frac{1}{0.05} ]

 B = 5.33\times10^{-5}  T

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field at given point = 5.33\times10^{-5} T

Compare the catching of two different water balloons.
Stels [109]

Answer:

a. The volume V₁ and V₂

b. The case that involves the greatest momentum change = Case B

c. The case that involves the greatest impulse = Case B

d. b. The case that involves the greatest force = Case B

Explanation:

Here we have

Case A: V₁ = 150-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

Case B: V₂ = 600-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

a. The variable that is different for the two cases is the volume V₁ and V₂

b. The momentum change is by the following relation;

ΔM₁ = Mass, m × Δv₁

The mass of the balloon are;

Δv₁ = Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity

Mass = Density × Volume

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Case A, mass = 150 × 0.997 = 149.55 g

Case B, mass = 600 × 0.997 = 598.2 g

The momentum change is;

Case A: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 149.55 g/1000 × 8 m/s = 1.1964 g·m/s

Case B:  Mass, m × Δv₁ = 598.2/1000 × 8 = 4.7856 g·m/s

Therefore Case B has the greatest momentum change

The case that has the gretest momentum change = Case B

c. The momentum change = impulse therefore Case B involves the greatest impulse

d. Here we have;

Impulse = Momentum change = F_{average} × Δt = mΔV

∴ F_{average} = m·ΔV/Δt

∴ For Case A F_{average} = 149.55×8/Δt =  1196.4/Δt N

For Case B  F_{average} = 598.2×8/Δt =  4785.6/Δt

Where Δt is the same for Case A and Case B,  F_{average}  for Case B >>  F_{average}  for Case B

Therefore, Case B involves the greatest force.
