Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

$=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m$

Here the direction is

$\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}$

Then the direction is $26.6^{o}$ North-west.

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed

dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = $\frac{frequency}{speed of light}$

$20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz
