A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car's displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is 20 miles

Explanation:

You would use a^2+b^2=c^2 to get the displacement.

So 16^2+12^2=c^2

400=c^2

c=20

solmaris [256]

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision:

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

Being:

p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}

p_{f}=(M+m) V

Where:

M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg the mas of the peregrine falcon

V_{i}=45 m/s the initial speed of the falcon

m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg is the mass of the pigeon

U_{i}=0 m/s the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

V the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V (2)

Finding V:

V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m} (3)

V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg} (4)

V=30 m/s (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} (6)

Where:

F is the force exerted on the pigeon

\Delta t=0.015 s is the time

\Delta p is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i} (7)

\Delta p=mV (8) Since U_{i}=0

Substituting (8) in (6):

F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t} (9)

F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s} (10)

Finally:

F=480 N

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

A jet transport has a weight of 2.25 x 106 N and is at rest on the runway. The two rear wheels are 16.0 m behind the front wheel
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of jet

W = 2.25 × 10^6 N

It is at rest on the run way.

Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel

Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel

A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.

Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.

Check attachment for better understanding

So,

Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment

W × 5.4 = N × 16

2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N

N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16

N = 7.594 × 10^5 N

B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.

Using the second principle of equilibrium body.

Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces

ΣFy = 0

Nr + Nr + N — W = 0

2•Nr = W—N

2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5

2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6

Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2

Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Period of brightness variation and luminosity.

Explanation:

The Cepheid variables are used as distance indicators. This requires estimation of periods and (usually) intensity-mean magnitudes in order to establish a period—apparent luminosity relation. It is particularly important for the techniques employed to be as accurate and efficient as possible.
