You are lost at night in a large, open field. Your GPS tells you that you are 122.0 m from your truck, in a direction 58.0o east

of south. You walk 72.0 m due west along a ditch. How much farther, and in what direction, must you walk to reach your truck?

Answer:

The person is 187[m] farther and 70° south to east.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by drawing a sketch of the location of the person and the truck, then we will draw the displacement vectors and finally the length of the vector and the direction of the vector will be measured in order to give the correct indication of where the person will have to move.

First we establish an origin of a coordinate system.

We can see in the attached schema that the red vector is the displacement vector from the last point to where the truck is located.

The length of the vector is 187 [m], and the direction is 70 degrees south to East.

A small lead ball, attached to a 1.25-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled

cluponka [151]

Explanation:

Radius of the circular path, r = 1.25 m

Angular velocity of the ball, $\omega=3\ rev/s=18.84\ rad/s$

It is placed 1.5 meters above the ground. Using the conservation of energy to find the height of the ball.

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Since, $v=r\times \omega$

$h=\dfrac{(r\omega)^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{(1.25\times 18.84)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

h = 28.29 meter

So, the ball will rise to a maximum height of 1.5 m + 28.29 m = 29.796 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. the system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg · m2. the father

-Dominant- [34]

<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = $\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2$

T = $4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy$

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = $-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant$

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

$L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant$

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange equation = $4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0$

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

The equilibrium fraction of lattice sites that are vacant in silver (Ag) at 600°C is 1 × 10-6. Calculate the number of vacancies

algol [13]

Answer :

The number of vacancies (per meter cube) = 5.778 × 10^22/m^3.

Explanation:

Given,

Atomic mass of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Density of silver = 10.35 g/cm^3

Converting to g/m^3,

= 10.35 g/cm^3 × 10^6cm^3/m^3

= 10.35 × 10^6 g/m^3

Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms/mol

Fraction of lattice sites that are vacant in silver = 1 × 10^-6

Nag = (Na * Da)/Aag

Where,

Nag = Total number of lattice sites in Ag

Na = Avogadro's number

Da = Density of silver

Aag = Atomic weight of silver

= (6.022 × 10^23 × (10.35 × 10^6)/107.87

= 5.778 × 10^28 atoms/m^3

The number of vacancies (per meter cube) = 5.778 × 10^28 × 1 × 10^-6

= 5.778 × 10^22/m^3.

A weather balloon is rising vertically from a launching pad on the ground. A technician standing 300 feet from the launching pad

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Let

h = height of balloon (in feet).

θ = angle made with line of sight and ground (in radians).

h = 300 tanθ

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta$

now $\dfrac{dh}{dt}$ can be written as

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}$

$\dfrac{d\theta }{dt} = \dfrac{1}{120}\at \ \theta =\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

When θ = π/4,

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta$

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 600$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =600\times \dfrac{1}{120}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s$
