Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

belka [17]

Answer:

<u>Informed Consent- The study didn't conform this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Debriefing- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Confidentiality- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

<u>Protection from harm- The study conforms this ethical standard.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Informed consent</u> is described as a procedure whereby researchers tend to provide details about specific research they are going to conduct, the risk & benefits involved in the study, different alternatives involved in the procedure, etc.

<u>Debriefing </u>is described as a process that is being conducted in any of the different psychological research encompassing human participants after specific research is completed. The researcher tends to describe the details of the research to the participants.

<u>Confidentiality</u> is described as one of the different code of ethics followed by health workers or psychologists. While practicing confidentiality, a psychologist tends to promise his or her participants that he or she will keep everything a secret whatever is being discussed or shared between both of them.

<u>Protection from harm</u> determines that the psychologists conducting research follows the ethics in which he or she has to protect all the participants from any kind of harm.

Richardson pulls a toy 3.0 m across the floor by a string, applying a force of0.50 N. During the first meter, the string is para
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Total Work done =0.65 joule

Explanation:

Work done is given Mathematically as

W=F *d

Where w=work done in joules

F=applied force

d= distance moved

The work done to move the toy accros the first meter is

W1=0.5*1

W1=0.5joule

The work done to move the toy across the next 2m at an angle of 30° is

.W2=0.5*2cos30

W2=0.5*2*0.154

W2=0.154joule

Hence total work done is

W1+W2=0.5+0.154

Total Work done =0.65 joule

A child is riding a bike at a speed of 6m/s with a total kinetic energy of 1224J. If the mass of the child is 30kg, what is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

 Mass of bike = 38 kg.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the expression, KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Here speed of child riding bike = 6 m/s

Mass of child = 30 kg

Total kinetic energy = 1224 J

Let the mass of bike be, m kg

So, total mass of child and bike = (m + 30) kg

Substituting,

  1224 = \frac{1}{2}* (m+30)*6^2\\ \\ m+30=68\\ \\ m=38kg

So, mass of bike = 38 kg.

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work
