In an effort to protect a rhino, volunteers are following its steps with air monitoring and ground cameras. The rhino starts on

day 1 from ground camera A and walks for 1.5 km west along a straight line as seen from the air. The rhino then moves 0.7 km on a straight line in a direction of 15o east of north toward ground camera B. In this location the rhino may find water and food, therefore the animal stays for the night. On the second day, the rhino moves 2.5 km directly south as recorded from the air by the volunteers. In these two days of tracking how far and in which direction does the rhino travel from camera A?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent each displacement by vectors . i will represent east , -i west , j north and - j south .

Rhino walks 1.5 km west on day 1.

D₁ = - 1.5 i

The rhino then moves 0.7 km on a straight line in a direction of 15o east of north toward ground camera B

D₂ = .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j

On the second day, the rhino moves 2.5 km directly south

D₃ = - 2.5 j

D = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= - 1.5 i + .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.5 i + .181 i + .676 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.32 i - 1.824 j

magnitude  of total displacement

= √ (1.32² +1.824²

= 2.25 km

For direction we shall calculate slope with x axis

Tanθ = - 1.824 / - 1.32

= 54°

So rhino will be towards 54° south of west as both x and y coordinates are negative.

According to the evolutionary perspective of mate selection, why do men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selectio
Alla [95]

C. Each gender has differing attraction cues and priorities.

<h3>Why do men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selection?</h3>

Men and women exhibit different preferences in mate selection because both have different attraction cues and priorities for their partner. These cues and priorities leads to difference in preference of life partner.

So we can conclude that Each gender has differing attraction cues and priorities.

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

If you heat a fixed quantity of gas, which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.a.The volume will always in
kherson [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

there is fix Quantity of gas i.e. mass of gas is constant

From ideal gas Equation

PV=nRT

(a) volume always increases is not true as Pressure can also be increased .

(b)If Pressure is constant along with mass then as Temperature increases, Volume also increases.

(c)true , Product of Pressure and volume depends upon temperature thus it also increases with temperature.

(d)Density of gas may or may not increases

As density is \frac{mass}{volume}

volume may increase or decrease as temperature increase .

(e)false

as it clearly stated that quantity of fixed therefore there is no change in gas

In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>In an experiment, a researcher can make claims about causation if the independent variable changes because of changes made to the dependent variable. Causation works on cause and effect, so the changed independent variable is the cause and the changed dependent variable is the effect. In an experiment the independent variable is changed to determine the dependent variables value, so the two are directly related.</span>

A 5 kg ball is suspended on one cable. Calculate the tension in the cable
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

49N

Explanation:

F=ma

We know the mass is 5kg, and since the ball is suspended on one cable, the acceleration is g, 9.8m/s^2

F=5kg*9.8m/s^2

 = 49N

Hope this helps!
