Answer:

10.88 km

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in terms of i , j unit vectors in the direction of east and north .

4.5 km due west

D₁ = - 4.5 i

6.7 km at an angle of 27° south of west

D₂ = - 6.7 cos27 i - 6.7 sin27j

= - 6.7 x .89 i - 6.7 x .45 j

= - 5.96i - 3 j

Total displacement

= D₁ + D₂

= - 4.5 i - 5.96i - 3 j

= -10.46 i - 3j

Magnitude = √ ( 10.46² + 3²)

= √ ( 109.41 + 9)

= √ 118.41

= 10.88 km .

A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o

inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

$M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh$

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh$

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega_i^2) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2 ) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 - \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 - \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\$

$h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)$

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

$h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m$

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Irina-Kira [14]

If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive

<h3>Laws of electrical attraction</h3>

This states that

Like charges attract
Unlike charges repel

Now, given that a negatively charged plastic comb is brought close to, but does not touch, a small piece of paper. If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, this implies that both the negatively charged plastic comb and the paper have opposite charges.

Since the charge on the plastic comb is negative, this means that the charge on the paper must be positive

So, if the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive
