Answer:

Resultant displacement = 1222.3 m

Angle is 88.3 degree from +X axis.

Explanation:

A = 550 m north

B = 500 m north east

C = 450 m north west

Write in the vector form

A = 550 j

B = 500 (cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = 353.6 i + 353.6 j

C = 450 ( - cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = - 318.2 i + 318.2 j

Net displacement is given by

R = (353.6 - 318.2) i + (550 + 353.6 + 318.2) j

R = 35.4 i + 1221.8 j

The magnitude is

R = \sqrt{35.4^{2}+1221.8^{2}}R = 1222.3 m

The direction is given by

tan\theta =\frac{1221.8}{35.4}\\\\\theta = 88.3^{o}

A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment. (a) calculate the average force
iragen [17]

(a) -1.5\cdot 10^6 N

First of all, we need to calculate the acceleration of the person, by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u ^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 1.00 cm = 0.01 m is the displacement of the person

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.01)}=-20000 m/s^2

And the average force on the person is given by

F=ma

with m = 75.0 kg being the mass of the person. Substituting,

F=(75)(-20000)=-1.5\cdot 10^6 N

where the negative sign means the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the person.

b) -1.0\cdot 10^5 N

In this case,

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d  = 15.00 cm = 0.15 m is the displacement of the person with the air bag

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.15)}=-1333 m/s^2

So the average force on the person is

F=ma=(75)(-1333)=-1.0\cdot 10^5 N

for an object that is speeding up in the positive direction what does the displacement vs. time graph look like
avanturin [10]

For an object that is speeding up in the positive direction, its positive displacement is greater every second, and the AMOUNT greater every second is greater than the AMOUNT greater was in the previous second.

So the graph of displacement vs. time is rising as time goes on, and the rise is becoming steeper as time goes on.

The graph is <em>curving upward</em> as time goes on.

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen nuclei, each of massm= 2.7×10−26kg,separated by a distance 1.2×10−10m, and surrounded
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

, b)   I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia of point masses is

                 I = m r²

   

The nuclei have a very small size (10-15 m) so we can consider them punctual.

The distance to the center of mass passing through the middle of the two nuclei of equal mass

       r = 0.6 10⁻¹⁰ m

The moment of total inertia

       I = I₁ + I₂ = 2 I₀

       I = 2 2.7 10⁻²⁶ (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)²

       I = 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ Kg m²

The kinetic energy of the rotation is

      w = h / 2π

      K = ½ I w²

      K = ½ 1,944 10⁻⁴⁶ (h / 2π)² = ½ 1.944 10⁻⁴⁶ (6.63 10⁻³⁴ / 2π)²

      K = 2.16 10⁻¹¹⁴ J (1eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

      K = 2.16 10⁻⁹⁵ eV

B) the moment of inertia of the electron in the orbit, we can calculate it with the parallel axis theorem

       I =I_{cm} + m R²

       I = m_{e} r² +  m_{e} R²

Where R we calculate it by Pythagoras

      R² = (0.6 10⁻¹⁰)² + (0.5 10⁻¹⁰) 2

      R = √ (0.61 10⁻²⁰)

      R = 0.78 10⁻¹⁰ m

      I = 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.5 10⁻¹⁰)² + 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.78 10⁻¹⁰)²

      I = (2,275 +5.54) 10⁻⁵¹

      I = 7,915 10⁻⁵¹ Kg m²

The rotation energy of the electron

      K = ½ I w²

If the angular velocity is the electrons outside the core, its kinetic energy is much lower by an order 10⁵, but the angular velocity of the electrons is much higher.
