Answer:

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is -15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}.

Explanation:

speed of cyclist = 12 km/h east

speed of wind = 5 km/h south west

Write the speeds in the vector form

\overrightarrow{vc} = 12 \widehat{i}\\\\overrightarrow{vw} = - 5 (cos 45 \widehat{i} + sin 45 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is

\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = \overrightarrow{vw}-\overrightarrow{vc}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = - 3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}  - 12 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} =-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}

A 27.0-m steel wire and a 48.0-m copper wire are attached end to end and stretched to a tension of 145 N. Both wires have a radi
algol13

Answer:

The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of steel wire= 27.0 m

Length of copper wire = 48.0 m

Tension = 145 N

Radius of both wires = 0.450 mm

Density of steel wire \rho_{s}= 7.86\times10^{3}\ kg/m^{3}

Density of copper wire \rho_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the linear density of steel wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{s}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{s}=7.86\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{s}=5.00\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the linear density of copper wire

Using formula of linear density

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}A

\mu_{c}=\rho_{s}\times\pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

\mu_{c}=8.92\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(0.450\times10^{-3})^2

\mu_{c}=5.67\times10^{-3}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{s}}}

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v_{s}=170.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave along the steel wire

Using formula of velocity

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_{c}}}

v_{c}=\sqrt{\dfrac{145}{5.67\times10^{-3}}}

v_{c}=159.9\ m/s

We need to calculate the time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires

t=t_{s}+t_{c}

t=\dfrac{l_{s}}{v_{s}}+\dfrac{l_{c}}{v_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{27.0}{170.3}+\dfrac{48.0}{159.9}

t=0.458\ sec

t=458\ ms

Hence, The time taken by the wave to travel  along the combination of two wires is 458 ms.

A team exerts a force of 10 N towards the south in a tug of war. The other, opposite team, exerts a force of 17 N towards the no
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the question:

Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N

Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N

Net Force, \vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}

\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N

Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher

Therefore,

\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N towards North

Why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?
almond37 [142]
Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

Consider two identical insulated metal spheres, A and B. Sphere A initially has a charge of -6.0 units and sphere B initially ha
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<em>-2 units of charge</em>

Explanation:

charge on A = Qa = -6 units

charge on B = Qb = 2 units

if the spheres are brought in contact with each other, the resultant charge will be evenly distributed on the spheres when they are finally separated.

charge on each sphere will be = \frac{Qa + Qb}{2}

charge on each sphere =  \frac{-6 + 2}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = <em>-2 units of charge</em>

A 1.40-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force F→ . where L = 1.40 kg. What is the tensio
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

T=13.72N

Explanation:

The tension before the ball is released have no angle is in rest at the same axis of the weight so:

∑F=0

Using Newton law in this case the ball is tied so tension before become to swing is

∑F=FN-T=0

T=F_{N}

T=m*g

T=1.40Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

T=13.72N
