If you illustrate the problem, you will somewhat come up with the figure shown. The missing value is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Using the pythagorean theorems, the value is determined to be

x = √(0.7^2 + 2.4^2)
x = 2.5 km

2.5 km is the magnitude of the distance. If you want to incorporate the displacement, the answer is reported as 2.5 km, southeast. The direction is determined from the starting point to the endpoint.

Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not equilibrium at all? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.

Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion abou
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

Explanation:

When the fluorescent lamp emits a light it has the shape of its emission spectrum, this light collides with the atoms of Nitrogen and excites it, so these wavelengths disappear, lacking in the spectrum seen by the observed, for which we would see an absorption spectrum

The nitrogen that was exited after a short time is given away in its emission lines, in general there are many lines, so the excitation energy is divided between the different emission lines, which must be weak

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation
