Answer:
a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b) 70.2º north-west
Explanation:
This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition
vector 1 moves 26 km northeast
let's use trigonometry to find its components
cos 45 = x₁ / V₁
sin 45 = y₁ / V₁
x₁ = v₁ cos 45
y₁ = v₁ sin 45
x₁ = 26 cos 45
y₁ = 26 sin 45
x₁ = 18.38 km
y₁ = 18.38 km
Vector 2 moves 45 km north
y₂ = 45 km
Unknown 3 vector
x3 =?
y3 =?
Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point
R_y = 70 km
we make the sum on each axis
X axis
Rₓ = x₁ + x₃
x₃ = Rₓ -x₁
x₃ = 0 - 18.38
x₃ = -18.38 km
Y Axis
R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃
y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂
y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45
y₃ = 6.62 km
the vector of the third leg of the journey is
v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km
let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length
v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)
v₃ = 19.54 km
to find the angle let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y₃ / x₃
θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)
θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))
θ = -19.8º
with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is
θ’= 180 -19.8
θ’= 160.19º
I mean the address is
θ’’ = 90-19.8
θ = 70.2º
70.2º north-west
Answer:
The length of the solar day will get shorter.
Explanation:
- The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
- Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
- If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.
Answer:
Corpuscular theory of light
Explanation:
In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.
Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
