Refer to the diagram shown below.
Define unit vectors along the x and y axes as respectively
Then the three successive displacements, written in component form, are respectively
The total displacement for the first leg of the trip is
Answer:
or (-0.6, 0.8)
Let
upthrust = T
weight = W = mg
Air resistance = F
When balloon is descending, air resistance acts upwards (positive)
By Newton's first law, the net force on the balloon is zero, or
T+F-W=0......................(1)
Let w=weight of material dumped so that balloon now travels upwards at constant speed.
Air resistance acts against motion, namely downwards.
The Newton's equation now reads
T-F-(W-w)=0................(2)
Subtract (2) from (1)
T+F-W - (T-F-(W-w)) = 0
Solve for w
w=2F, or
the WEIGHT of material to be released equals twice the resistance of air.
Solution: The correct order is: C, A, B
The statement of the problem:
How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?
Hypotheis:
If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.
If the Earth was flat, the angle measured at different places at the same time of the day would be same.
Observation:
In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.
Answer:
the hypotenuse = 13.78 cm
Ф = 27.44°
θ = 62.56°
explanation:
The resultant static friction force is equal to 20 N to the left.
Why?
I'm assuming that you forgot to write the question of the exercise, so, I will try to complete it:
"A 50-n crate sits on a horizontal floor where the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.50 . A 20-n force is applied to the crate acting to the right. What is the resulting static friction force acting on the crate?"
So, if we are going to calculate the resulting static friction force, it means that there is no movement, we must remember that the friction coefficient will give us the maximum force before the crate starts to move.
We can calculate the static friction force by using the following formula:
Since the crate is not moving (static), the static friction force acting on the crate will be equal to the applied force.
Calculating we have:
Hence, the static friction force is equal to 20 N to the left (since the applied force is acting to the right)
So,
Since the static friction force is equal to the applied force, the crate does not start to move.
Have a nice day!
