On his fishing trip Justin takes the boat 25 km south. The fish aren’t biting so he goes 10 km west. He follows a school of fish
vodomira [7]

Distance is 50 km

Displacement is 10 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance toward south, x = 25 km

Distance towards west, y = 10 km

Distance towards north, z = 15 km

(a) Total distance, D = ?

Total distance, D = x + y + z

                       D = 25 + 10 + 15

                       D = 50km

(b) Displacement, d = ?

Displacement = final position - initial position

                      = 10 - 0 km

                      = 10km

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.40
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

53.895 m.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.

make s the subject of the equation,

s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2

Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)  a = 0.380 m/s².

Substitute into equation 2

s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)

s = 40.96/0.76

s = 53.895 m.

Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.

a crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one
prohojiy [21]

The fundamental frequency of the tube is 0.240 m long, by taking air temperature to be 37^oC is 367.42 Hz.

A standing wave is basically a superposition of two waves propagating opposite to each other having equal amplitude. This is the propagation in a tube.

The fundamental frequency in the tube is given by

f=\frac{v_T}{4L}

where, v_T=v\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

Since, T=37+273 K = 310 K

v = 331 m/s

\therefore v_T=331\sqrt{\frac{310}{273} } = 352.72 \ m/s

Using this, we get:

f=\frac{352.72}{4(0.240)} \\f=367.42 \ Hz

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 367.42 Hz.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane-parallel plates. An electron is released from
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • given S = distance from the first = 3.20cm = 0.032m, t = 1.30×10−8 s
  • q = 1.6 x 10_19C
  • using S = at^2/2
  • acceleration = 0.032 X 2 /(1.30×10−8)^2

a = 3.79 x 10^14m/s^2

  • From F = ma
  • F = qE
  • ma = qE

E = ma /q = 9.11 x 10^-31 x 3.79 x 10^14 / 1.6 x 10^-19

E = magnitude of this electric field. = 2156.3N/C

b) Find the speed of the electron when it strikes the second plate ; V^2 = 2as

= 2 X 3.79 x 10^14 X 0.032

= 4.92 X 10^6m/s
