If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra
blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

y=\sqrt{1+x^3}

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now at (2,3)

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s

As the wavelength of light decreases,<br> What happens
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Waves. Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. ... The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Explanation:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. ... Mechanical and electromagnetic waves with long wavelengths contain less energy than waves with short wavelengths.

Hey guys, i'm at 10 grade at school i have a physics question about stress tension and young modulus ? Please this is my questio
makvit [3.9K]
Use the eq. of Young modulus Y=(F/A)/(∆l/lo)
dimana ∆l is the elongation of wire, lo is its initial length.
So ∆l = (F/A)lo/Y.
∆l = (1000N/(6.5 × 10^-7 m^2))×(2.5m)/(2.0 × 10^-11 N/m^2)
Use calculator to finish it.

A sand core used to form the internal surfaces of a steel casting experiences a buoyancy force of 225 n. the volume of the mold
pashok25 [27]

Newton’s second law gives us the relationship of force F, mass m and acceleration a. The formula is given as:

<span>F = m a                  --> 1</span>

However we also know that the relationship of mass m, density ρ, and volume V is:

<span>m = V ρ                 --> 2</span>

Therefore substituting equation 2 to equation 1:

F = ρ V a = ρ V g

where a is acceleration due to gravity, ρ is density of water and V is the volume of the casting, therefore:

F = (1x10^-3 kg/cm^3) (4840 cm^3) (9.8 m/s^2)

F = 47.432 kg m/s^2

F = 47.432 N

 

Going back to equation 1:

47.432 N = m (9.8 m/s^2)

m = 4.84 kg

 

<span>Hence the weight of the final casting is 4.84 kg</span>
