10. Suppose the tern travels 1.70*10^ km south, only to encounter bad weatherInstead of trying to fly around the stormthe tem tu

ms around and travels 6.00 * 10 ^ 2 10'north wait out the stormIt then tums around again immediately and flies 144 to Antarctica What are the average speed and velocity if it makes this in 122 days ?

We can define average speed as the quotient between the whole distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance, and the velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to displace that quantity.

We will find that:

Average speed =  2.6×10^2 km/day

Velocity = 2.52×10^2 km/day

So we know that:

The tent travels:

1.70×10^4 km to the south

6.00×10^2 km to the north

1.44×10^4 km to the south.

The total distance traveled is just the sum of the 3 above distances:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km +  6.00×10^2 km + 1.44×10^4 km

Notice that the second term has a different exponent than the others, so to have the same exponent we can write:

6.00×10^2 km = 0.06×10^4 km

Now we get:

total distance = 1.70×10^4 km + 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

total distance = (1.70 + 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km

<u>total distance = 3.2×10^4 km</u>

And it travels that distance in 122 days, then the average speed is:

AS = (3.2×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.6×10^2 km/day

Now we need to find the displacement, which is the difference between the final position and the initial position, the displacement will just be:

d =  1.70×10^4 km - 0.06×10^4 km + 1.44×10^4 km

(We add the distance traveled to south and subtract the distance that it travels due north)

d = (1.70 - 0.06 + 1.44)×10^4 km = 3.08×10^4 km

Then the velocity will be:

v = (3.08×10^4 km)/(122 days) = 2.52×10^2 km/day

Because we defined south as positive and north as negative, having a positive velocity means that the direction of the <u>velocity is due south.</u>

mixer [17]

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

Neko [114]

Explanation:

As per Rayleigh criterion, the angular resolution is given as follows:

\theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}

From this expression larger the size of aperture, smaller will be the value of angular resolution and hence, better will be the device i.e. precision for distinguishing two points at very high angular difference is higher.
