Answer:

The magnitude of the student's displacement is less than the distance she walked.

Walking:  11 Blocks

Displacement:  8.54 Blocks

Explanation:

See the attached diagram.  The unit of length is blocks.  We can add the actual blocks walked as shown.  She walked a total of 11 blocks.

Her displacement is the distance measured directly from where she started (line A).  Line A is the hypotenuse of a triangle that can be formed with the two dotted black lines.  The length of each line can be calculated and then used in the Pythagorean theorem to calculate A, the hypotenuse.

That result is 8.54 Blocks, a shorter distance, once she earns her wings.

A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 ° to the horizon at a speed of 50.0 m/s. At the highest poin
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) The fragment speeds of 0.3 kg is 33.3 m / s on the y axis

                                         0.7 kg is 109.4 ms on the x axis

b)  Y = 109.3 m

Explanation:

This is a moment and projectile launch exercise.

a) Let's start by finding the initial velocity of the projectile

       sin 40 = voy / v₀

       v_{oy} = v₀ sin 40

       v_{oy} = 50.0 sin40

       v_{oy} = 32.14 m / s

       cos 40 = v₀ₓ / V₀

       v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 40

       v₀ₓ = 50.0 cos 40

       v₀ₓ = 38.3 m / s

Let us define the system as the projectile formed t all fragments, for this system the moment is conserved in each axis

Let's write the amounts

Initial mass of the projectile M = 2.0 kg

Fragment mass 1 m₁ = 1.0 kg and its velocity is vₓ = 0 and v_{y} = -10.0 m / s

Fragment mass 2 m₂ = 0.7 kg moves in the x direction

Fragment mass 3 m₃ = 0.3 kg moves up (y axis)

Moment before the break

X axis

     p₀ₓ = m v₀ₓ

Y Axis y

    p_{oy} = 0

After the break

X axis

   p_{fx} = m₂ v₂

Axis y

     p_{fy} = m₁ v₁ + m₃ v₃

Let's write the conservation of the moment and calculate

Y Axis  

     0 = m₁ v₁ + m₃ v₃

Let's clear the speed of fragment 3

     v₃ = - m₁ v₁ / m₃

     v₃ = - (-10) 1 / 0.3

     v₃ = 33.3 m / s

X axis

     M v₀ₓ = m₂ v₂

     v₂ = v₀ₓ M / m₂

     v₂ = 38.3  2 / 0.7

     v₂ = 109.4 m / s

The fragment speeds of 0.3 kg is 33.3 m / s on the y axis

                                         0.7 kg is 109.4 ms on the x axis

b) The speed of the fragment is 33.3 m / s and has a starting height of where the fragmentation occurred, let's calculate with kinematics

       v_{fy}² = v_{oy}² - 2 gy

       0 =  v_{oy}²-2gy

       y =  v_{oy}² / 2g

       y = 32.14² / 2 9.8

       y = 52.7 m

This is the height where the break occurs, which is the initial height for body movement of 0.3 kg

      v_{f}² =  v_{y}² - 2 g y₂

      0 =  v_{y}² - 2 g y₂

     y₂ =  v_{y}² / 2g

     y₂ = 33.3²/2 9.8

     y₂ = 56.58 m

Total body height is

      Y = y + y₂

      Y = 52.7 + 56.58

     Y = 109.3 m

Which of the following is an expression of Newton's second law? O A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and
dangina [55]

Answer: is A

The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.

Newton's second law says that "F=ma". what this means is that the force you apply to an object is equal to its mass times how fast it is accelerating.

Hope it helped.

A retail gasoline pump is able to fill a 14.0 gallon automobile tank in 1.50 minutes. What is the mass flow rate deliverd by the
Ludmilka [50]

We have volume of gasoline = 14.0 gallon

Time taken to fill automobile tank = 1.50 minutes

So volume rate = 14.0 gallon/1.50 minutes = 9.33 gallon/ minute

We have density of gasoline = 0.77 kg/L = 6.073 lb/US gal

Mass rate = Density * Volume rate

                 = 9.33 gallon/ minute*6.073 lb/US gal = 56.68 lb/min

So mass flow rate delivered by the gasoline pump in lbm/min = 56.68

Consider two wires made of copper. They have the same diameter but one of them has three times the length of the other. Choose t
boyakko [2]

Answer:

a. Both wires have the same resistivity

Explanation:

For the resistance of a wire , following formula holds good .

R = ρ l / S , R is resistance , l is length , S is cross sectional area and ρ is resistivity of the material that the wire is made of. Resistance is dependent on length and cross sectional area but resistivity does not depend upon length or cross sectional area . It only depends upon the type of material.

If we replace  copper wire with aluminium wire , then resistivity will change .

Hence , since the wire remains made of copper , resistivity will not change.
