You are standing on a street corner with your friend. You then travel 14.0 m due west across the street and into your apartment

building. You travel in the elevator 22.0 m upward to your floor, walk 12.0 m north to the door of your apartment, and then walk 6.0 m due east to your balcony that overlooks the street. Your friend is standing where you left her.
Now how far are you from your friend?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall express each displacement vectorially , i for each unit displacement towards east , j for northward displacement and k for vertical displacement .

14 m due west = - 14 i

22.0 m upward in the elevator = 22 k

12 m north = 12 j

6.00 m east = 6 i

Total displacement = - 14 i + 22 k + 12 j + 6 i

D = - 8 i + 12 j + 22 k

magnitude = √ ( 8² + 12² + 22² )

= √ ( 64 + 144 + 484 )

= √ 692

= 26.3 m

Net displacement from starting point = 26.3 m .

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

How much acceleration can most humans stand before they pass out?
kumpel [21]
Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.

An electromagnetic wave is traveling the +y direction. The maximum magnitude of the electric field associated with the wave is E
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.83x10^-9 T

Direction is towards +z axis.

Explanation:

E = cB

E = magnitude of electrical 0.25 Em

c = speed of light in a vacuum 3x10^8 m/s

Therefore,

B = E/c = 0.25 ÷ 3x10^8

B = 0.83x10^-9 T

Magnetic fueld of a EM wave acts perpendicularly to its electric field, therefore it's direction is towards the +Z axis
