7 0

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Assuming that the hiker starts walking from the origin O as shown in the figure.

First, he walks 200 m west to point A (say), then he walks 100 m north to the final point B (say) as shown in the figure.

The final point B is in the north-west direction, therefore, the resulting point is in the north-west direction.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

If you see a lightning stroke and then, 15 seconds later, hear the thunder, the lightning is about ____ miles away
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

We can assume that the light coming from the lightning reach instantaneously our eyes (because light travels very fast, 3\cdot 10^8 m/s), so the time between the lightining and the hearing of the thunder is equal to the time that sound takes to each us.

Sound travels in air approximately at speed

v = 343 m/s

So the distance it covers in a time of t = 15 seconds is

d=vt=(3403 m/s)(15 s)=5145 m

And using the conversion from meters to miles,

1 mile = 1609 meters

we find

d=\frac{5145 m}{1609 m/miles} = 3.2 miles

a 550 kg car accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 15 s by applying a constant force. how large of a force is exerted? Please sho
Novay_Z [31]
You'll be using the equation f = m a, or force = mass x acceleration

First, you have to find the acceleration. The acceleration needed is the average acceleration over the 15 seconds is accelerated. So, you take the change in speed (25m/s - 15m/s) to get a change of 10m/s. 
The average acceleration (acceleration per second) is found by dividing total acceleration by the time it took. So, it's 10 / 15, which equals .6. This is a, your acceleration
Now just plug it into the equation F = m a, because it already gives you the mass of the car
F = 550 x .6
Solve that to get F = 366.6. F is measured in Newtons (N), so your answer is 366.6N

A student swings a container of water in a vertical circle of radius 1.0 m. Calculate the minimum speed of the container so that
12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration requirement must equal gravity at the top of the circle

mg = mv²/R

  v = √Rg

  v = √(1.0(9.8))

  v = 3.1304951...

  v = 3.1 m/s
