Answer:

B) 40 km West

Explanation:

Let position of B is origin so with respect of City B the position of A is given as

$r_A = 30 km$ south of city B

now Bus starts from City A and travels a distance of 50 km at 37 degree North of East to reach city C

so it is

$r_{CA} = 50(cos37\hat i + sin37 \hat j)$

$r_{CA} = 40\hat i + 30\hat j$

now the position of C is given with respect to A

in order to find the position of C with respect to B we can say

$r_C = r_{CA} + r_A$

$r_C = 40\hat i + 30\hat j + (-30 \hat j)$

$r_C = 40 \hat i$

so in order to reach at city B from city C bus has to travel 40 km towards West

To exercise, a man attaches a 4.0 kg weight to the heel of his foot. When his leg is stretched out before him, what is the torqu

Masja [62]

Answer:

B. τ = 16 Nm

Explanation:

In order to find the torque exerted by the weight attached to the heel of man's foot, when his leg is stretched out. We use following formula:

τ = Fd

here,

τ = Torque = ?

F = Force exerted by the weight = Weight = mg

F = mg = (4 kg)(10 m/s²) = 40 N

d = distance from knee to weight = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Therefore,

τ = (40 N)(0.4 m)

<u>B. τ = 16 Nm</u>

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

Zanzabum

(a) $3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa$

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

$p=\frac{I}{c}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

$I=1000 W/m^2$

and substituting $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we find the radiation pressure

$p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa$

(b) $4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

$A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2$

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

$F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N$

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

$m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2$

The energy from 0.015 moles of octane was used to heat 250 grams of water. The temperature of the water rose from 293.0 K to 371

arsen [322]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) -5448 kJ/mol

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat required by water.

$q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

q = heat required by water = ?

m = mass of water = 250 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = $4.18J/g.K$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of water = 293.0 K

$T_2$ = final temperature of water = 371.2 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=250g\times 4.18J/g.K\times (371.2-293.0)K$

$q=81719J$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of combustion of octane.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of combustion of octane = ?

q = heat released = -81719 J

n = moles of octane = 0.015 moles

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta H=\frac{-81719J}{0.015mole}$

$\Delta H=-5447933.333J/mol=-5447.9kJ/mol\approx -5448kJ/mol$

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of octane is -5448 kJ/mol.

What effect might the stitches on a baseball have on a path of a baseball

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Those stitches are what "chews" into the wind when you like to throw a breaking ball. Additionally, a knuckleball that barely spins eats at the wind using the stitches on the ball and this enables it to drop, sail or rise.

<span>In short, the stitches makes the ball air resistant or cut into air making it faster.</span>
