An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive dis- placements. The first is 75 km 30.0° west of north, and

the second is 155 km 60.0° east of north. What is the total displacement of the airplane?

Answer: displacement of airplane is 172 km in direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Explanation:

In constructing the two displacements it is noticed that the angle between the 75 km vector and the 155 km vector is a right angle (90 degrees).

 

Hence if the plane starts out at A, it travels to B, 75 km away, then turns 90 degrees to the right (clockwise) and travels to C, 155 km away from B. Angle ABC is 90 degrees, hence we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for AC

 

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AC^2 = 752 + 1552  ; from this we get AC = 172 km (3 significant figures)

 

Angle BAC = Tan-1(155/75) ; giving angle BAC = 64.2 degrees

 

Hence AC is in a direction (64.2 - 30) = 34.2 degrees East of North

 

Therefore the displacement of the airplane is 172 km in a direction 34.2 degrees East of North

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

\omega = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J

Energy used in one acceleration

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J

Number of accelerations would be given by

n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

An antibaryon composed of two antiup quarks
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

(2) −1 e

Explanation:

A quark is the lightest elementary particles which form hadron such as proton and neutron. A quark has fractional charge.

Up, charm and top quarks have +\frac{2}{3} e charge where as down, strange and bottom quarks have -\frac{1}{3}e charge.

The antiparticle of up quark is antiup quark and has charge -\frac{2}{3}e charge.

The antiparticle of down quark is antidown quark and has charge +\frac{1}{3}e charge.

An antibaryon is composed of two anti-up quark and one anti-down quark.

Net charge of the anti-baryon is:

2\times (-\frac{2}{3} e)+1\times (+\frac{1}{3})e=-1e

Thus, antibaryon has -1e charge.

Which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materia
masha68 [24]

Infiltration

Explanation:

The component of the hydrologic cycle affected by impervious building such as concrete and asphalt is infiltration.

  • Water infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.
  • Concretes and other materials can prevent water from going down into the earth.
  • This affects the ground water system in place.
  • It leads to increase in surface run off and might cause inundation of an area.
  • Infiltration is a very important component of water cycle.
  • It takes water to plant root and recharges groundwater systems.
  • Impervious structures takes this capability away.

1. A 3.0 kg mass is tied to a rope and swung in a horizontal circle. If the velocity of the mass is 4.0 ms and
saul85 [17]

10.67m/s²

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

   Centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   v is the velocity of the body

    r is the radius of the circle

  putting in the parameters:

   Centripetal acceleration = \frac{4^{2} }{0.75}

    Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m  \frac{v^{2} }{r}

          m is the mass

 Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

                              = 3 x 10.67

                              = 32N
