Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A cross-country skier moves 28 meters westward, then 62 meters eastward, and finally 54 meters westward.

For this motion, what is the distance moved?

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement?

Answer:

a) The distance moved is the summation of all the distance, therefore:

Distance = Distance first moved westward + Distance moved eastward + Final distance moved westward = 28 m + 62 m + 54 m = 144 m

Distance = 144 m

b) Displacement is a vector quantity (has magnitude and direction). The displacement is the shortest distance from the starting to final point.

Total distance westward = 28 m + 54 m = 82 m

Total distance eastward = 62 m

Displacement =  Total distance westward  - Total distance eastward = 82 m - 62 m = 20 m

Displacement = 20 m westward

The displacement has a magnitude of 20 m and the direction is westward

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

-6.6 km/h

Explanation:

In 7hr plane travelled 2020km;

For the first 4hr the average speed was 310km/h;

d=st, s=d/t;

Distance covered in first 4h is d = 310km/h×4h = 1240km;

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ, where g=9.80meter/
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Analysis of structure gives

a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ

Notice that all the expression are right but we want to know of we can simplify the expression further.

We want to analyse if we can still further simplify the expression,

Inspecting the Right hand side of the equation, we notice that the acceleration due to gravity is common to both side, so we can bring it out i.e.

So option a is wrong because the expression can be simplified further to

a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Option b is right and the best option.

Since we are given that, g=9.8m/s²

We can as well substitute that to option a

So we will have

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Also option C is correct but it is not best inserting the values of g directly without simplifying the expression first

So it will have been the best option if it was written as

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

So the best option is B.

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
ikadub [295]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.

Water, with a density of 1000 kg/m3, flows out of a spigot, through a hose, and out a nozzle into the air. The hose has an inner
stepan [7]

Answer:

   P₁ = 2.3506 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Bernoulli's equation and continuity, where point 1 is in the hose and point 2 in the nozzle

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

          A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

Let's look for the areas

          r₁ = d₁ / 2 = 2.25 / 2 = 1,125 cm

          r₂ = d₂ / 2 = 0.2 / 2 = 0.100 cm

          A₁ = π r₁²

          A₁ = π 1.125²

          A₁ = 3,976 cm²

          A₂ = π r₂²

          A₂ = π 0.1²

          A₂ = 0.0452 cm²

Now with the continuity equation we can look for the speed of water inside the hose

           v₁ = v₂ A₂ / A₁

           v₁ = 11.2 0.0452 / 3.976

           v₁ = 0.1273 m / s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation, pa pressure at the nozzle is the air pressure (P₂ = Patm) the hose must be on the floor so the height is zero (y₁ = 0)

           P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = Patm + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

          P₁ = Patm + ½ ρ (v₂² - v₁²) + ρ g y₂

Let's calculate

           P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (11.2² - 0.1273²) + 1000 9.8 7.25

           P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + 6.271 10⁴ + 7.105 10⁴

           P₁ = 2.3506 10⁵ Pa
