While following the directions on a treasure map, a pirate walks 45.0 m north and then turns and walks 7.5 m east. What single s

Answer:

Displacement = 45.62 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A pirate walks 45.0 m north and then turns and walks 7.5 m east.

We need to find the straight-line displacement taken to reach the treasure. We know that the displacement covered by an object is equal to the shortest path covered by it. It can be given by :

d=\sqrt{45^2+7.5^2} \\\\=45.62\ m

So, the displacement taken to reach the treasure is 45.62 m.

How long does it take for a spaceship to get to the moon.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

about 3 days

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.

You perform nine (identical) measurements of the acceleration of gravity (units of m/s2): 10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.6
AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.01

Explanation:

Given the data:

10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, 9.90

True value = 9.81

Mean value :

Σx / n

Sample size, n = 9

(10.1 + 9.87 + 9.76 + 9.91 + 9.75 + 9.88 + 9.69 + 9.83 + 9.90) / 9

= 88.69 / 9

= 9.854

Standard deviation (σ) :

Sqrt (Σ(X - m)² / n)

[(10.1 - 9.854)^2 + (9.87 - 9.854)^2 + (9.76 - 9.854)^2 + (9.91 - 9.854)^2 + (9.75 - 9.854)^2 + (9.88 - 9.854)^2 + (9.69 - 9.854)^2 + (9.83 - 9.854)^2 + (9.90 - 9.854)^2] / 9

Sqrt(0.113824 / 9)

Sqrt(0.0126471)

σ = 0.1124593

Standard Error = σ / sqrt(n)

Standard Error = 0.1124593 / 9

Standard Error = 0.0124954

Standard Error = 0.01 ( 1 significant digit)

In an electric vehicle, each wheel is powered by its own motor. The vehicle weight is 4,000 lbs. By regenerative braking, its sp
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

so

m = 4000 / 2.20462 =  1814.37 kg

Initial velocity V_{i} = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity V_{f} = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = \frac{1}{2}m(  V_{i}² - V_{f}² )

we substitute

Δk = \frac{1}{2}×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = \frac{1}{2} × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

so

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

A cannonball is fired in such a way
Goryan [66]

Answer:

θ = 53.13° above horizontal

Explanation:

Ignore air resistance.

The time the ball takes to reach its max height will equal the time to travel half the max range R.

√(2h/g) = (R/2)/vcosθ

vsinθ/g = R/2vcosθ

2v²sinθcosθ = Rg

2v²sinθcosθ = 3hg

v² = u² + 2gh

0² = v²sin²θ + 2gh

v²sin²θ = 2gh

v² = 2gh/sin²θ

               2v²sinθcosθ = 3hg

(2gh/sin²θ)2sinθcosθ = 3hg

            (2/sinθ)2cosθ = 3

                            cotθ = 3/4

                                 θ = 53.130

Why can a generator produce electricity?​
sergij07 [2.7K]
Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.
