Answer:

the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

Explanation:

Given;

6km due west, and

5km due north

The magnitude of her displacement is calculated by forming a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse side of the triangle is the girl's displacement.

d² = 5² + 6²

d² = 25 + 36

d² = 61

d = √61

d = 7.81 m

The direction of the girl is calculated as;

tan \ \theta = \frac{6}{5} \\\\tan \ \theta = 1.2\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (1.2)\\\\\theta = 50.2^0

Therefore, the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

Describe the relationship between the length and period of a pendulum in the language of direct proportions
Wittaler [7]

The period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

T is the period

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

From the equation, we see that when the length of the pendulum increases, the period of the pendulum increases as the square root of L, T\propto \sqrt{L}. This means that

The period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

From the equation, we also notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

A mass of 5 kg stretches a spring 20 cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 10 sin t 6 N (newtons) and moves in a medi
nordsb [41]

Answer:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass = 5 kg

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

F = 10 sin(t/6)N

Fd(t) = - 6 N

u(0) = 0.03 m/s

u(0) = 0

u'(0) = 3 cm/s

Step 2:

ω =kL

k = ω/L = m*g /L = (5*9.8)/0.2 = 245 kg/s²

Since Fd(t) = -γu'(t)  we know:

γ =- Fd(t) / u'(t) = 6N/ 0.03 m/s = 200 Ns/m

The initial value problem which describes the motion of the mass is given by

5u" + 200u' + 245u = 10 sin(t/6)   u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

This is equivalent to:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

With u in m and t in s

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.
