Margaret walks to the store using the following path 0.630 mi west, 0.370 mi north, 0.180 mi east. assume north to be along the

+y-axis and west to be along the -x-axis. what is the magnitude of her total displacement?

Answer:

d = 0.583 mi

Explanation:

d = √((-0.630 + 0.180)² + 0.370²)

d = √(-0.450² + 0.370²) = 0.582580... = 0.583 mi

direction would be arctan(0.370/ -0.450) = 39.42780... = 39.4° N of W

Answer:

$\theta=53.13^o$

Explanation:

<u>2-D Projectile Motion</u>

In 2-D motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration, while the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration due to gravity. The basic formulas for this type of movement are

$V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta$

$V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt$

$x=V_{ox}t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle x_{max}=\frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}$

$\displaystyle y_{max}=\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}$

The projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three times its maximum height. We need to find the angle \theta at which the object should be launched. The range is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the projectile, so we establish the base condition:

$x_{max}=3y_{max}$

$\displaystyle \frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}=3\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}$

Using the formulas for $V_{ox}, V_{oy}:$

$\displaystyle \frac{2V_{o}cos\theta V_{o}sin\theta}{g}=3\frac{V_{o}^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

Simplifying

$4cos\theta sin\theta=3sin^2\theta$

Dividing by $sin\theta$

$4cos\theta=3sin\theta$

Rearranging

$tan\theta=\frac{4}{3}$

$\theta=arctan\frac{4}{3}$

$\theta=53.13^o$

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto

mixas84 [53]

I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit.

The total amount of energy doesn't change. Energy is never created,
and it never disappears. If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere.

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show. They are all
fakes. They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
