A dog travels north for 18 meters, east for 8 meters, South for 27 meters and then west for 8 meters. What is the distance the d

og traveled and what is the displacement of the dog.

I'm really not sure if this is right but I'll try.
The distance that the dog traveled is probably all of the distances added up. I would guess that it's 67 meters in total. 
The displacement is a little more tricky but you pretty much have to put a mental map in your head. Since East and West are both 8 meters, they cancel each other out. He travels more southern and that means the displacement is 9 meters south of his original location

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet XX. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in
mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion to get the acceleration due to gravoty of the rock on the planet.

S = ut+ 1/2at² where;

S is the distance of the rock above the surface of the planet = 100m

u is the initial velocity = 15m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken by the rock to reach the ground = 10s

Since the rock is thrown upward the acceleration due to gravity will be negative i.e a= -g

The equation becomes S = ut- 1/2gt²

Substituting the given value to get the time t

100 = 15(10)- 1/2g(10)²

100 = 150-50g

100-150 = -50g

-50 = -50g

g = -50/-50

g = 1m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration due to gravity of the rock when it is on Planet XX is 1m/s²</em>

If the 80 ohm resistor fails, will the 50 ohm and 100 ohm resistor continue to operate? Why or why not?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

No, the 50 ohm and 100 ohm resistor will not continue to operate.

Explanation:

A closed circuit is the circuit in which there is no break between the negative and the positive end of the battery.

When in this, combinational circuit the 80 ohm resistor fail then there will not any continue supply of current in the circuit due to the breakage because the electron will flow from negative end of the battery to positive end if their is no breaking in the circuit.

Therefore the 50 ohm and 100 ohm circuit will not continue to operate because of the breaking of the circuit and current will not flow.

3. What conclusion can you make about the electric field strength between two parallel plates? Explain your answer referencing P
KIM [24]

Answer:

From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases

Explanation:

I cannot  find any attached photo, but we can proceed anyways theoretically.

The electric field strength (E) at any point in an electric field is the force experienced by a unit positive charge (Q) at that point

i.e

E=\frac{F}{Q}

But the force F

F= \frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}

But the electric field intensity due to a point charge Q at a distance r meters away is given by

E= \frac{\frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}}{Q} \\\\\E= \frac{Q1}{4\pi er^2 }

<em>From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases</em>

The famous cliff divers of Acapulco leap from a perch 35 m above the ocean. How fast are they moving when they reach the surface
Rus_ich [418]

1) 26.2 m/s

The mechanical energy of the divers at any point of their vertical motion is sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:

E=K+U = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh

where

m is the mass of the diver

v is the speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height above the water

When the diver is on the cliff, v = 0 (he is at rest), so K=0 and the initial mechanical energy is just potential energy:

E_i = mgh

where h=35 m is the height of the cliff.

When the diver hits the water above, h = 0, so U=0 and the final mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

since the total mechanical energy is conserved, we have

E_i = E_f\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

And solving the equation for v, we find the speed when they reach the surface of the water:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(35 m)}=26.2 m/s

2) It is converted into thermal energy of the water

When the diver enters the water, he suddenly feels another force acting against the motion of the diver: the resistance of the water. The resistance of the water acts upward, slowing down the diver until he stops.

In this process, the speed of the diver (v) decreases, and therefore the kinetic energy of the diver decreases as well, until it becomes zero.

However, this does not mean that the conservation of energy has been violated. In fact, the kinetic energy of the diver has been converted into thermal energy of the molecules of water surrounding the diver.
