1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?

Answer:

10.2 km

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.

Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.

This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..

So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..

Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.

Thus;

d² = 2² + 10²

d² = 4 + 100

d = √104

d ≈ 10.2 km

I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement

f an arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h(t)=35t−0.83t
inysia [295]

Answer:

The velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height after t seconds is given by the equation:

h(t)=35t-0.83t^2

We know that the rate of change of displacement is equal to the velocity of an object.

v(t)=\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=\dfrac{d(35t-0.83t^2)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=35-1.66t

Velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds will be :

v(t)=35-1.66t\\\\v(t)=35-1.66(3)\\\\v(t)=30.02\ m/s

So, the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

George and Harriot walk with an average velocity of .95 m/s eastward. If it takes them 30
artcher [175]

Answer:

1.71 km

Explanation:

Convert 30 minutes to seconds:

30 min × (60 s / min) = 1800 s

Find the displacement:

0.95 m/s × 1800 s = 1710 m

Convert to kilometers:

1710 m × (1 km / 1000 m) = 1.71 km

Three capacitors (4.7, 6.5, and 15.5 F) are connected in series across a 50.0-V battery. Find the voltage across the 4.7-F capac
satela [25.4K]

Answer: 50 V

Explanation:

Given

Three capacitors are connected in parallel across 50 V battery

When capacitor are connected in parallel, net capacitance is the sum of all the values

Net capacitance

\Rightarrow C=4.7+6.5+15.5\\\Rightarrow C=26.7\ F

Voltage in parallel circuit is same across each capacitor. Therefore, voltage across 4.7 F capacitor is 50 V
