assuming north-south is along the Y-axis and east-west along the X-axis

X = total X-displacement

from the graph, total displacement in the X-direction is computed as

X = 0 - 20 + 60 Cos45 + 0

X = 42.42 - 20

X = 22.42 m


Y = total Y-displacement

from the graph, total displacement in the Y-direction is computed as

Y = 40 + 0 + 60 Sin45 + 50

Y = 90 + 42.42

Y = 132.42 m

To calculate the magnitude of the net displacement vector, we apply the Pythagorean theorem, yielding

magnitude: Sqrt(X² + Y²) = Sqrt(22.42² + 132.42²) = 134.31 m

Direction: tan⁻¹(Y/X) = tan⁻¹(132.42/22.42) = 80.4 deg north of east

When a charge is placed on a metal sphere, it ends up in equilibrium at the outer surface. Use this information to determine the
Maru [3345]

Answer:

a

The value at a point inside is Zero

b

The electric field is E = 2.7*10^{6} \ N/C

Explanation:

We know from the problem that

The charge magnitude is q = 3.0 \mu C = 3.0 *10^{-6} \ C

The radius of the spherical ball is r = 5.0 \ mm = 0.005 \ m

According to Gauss’s law, the enclosed charge within a conductor is zero which indicates that the electric field within the spherical ball is zero

On the outside, the electric field around the spherical ball is mathematically expressed as

E = \frac{kq}{ a^2}

Here a denotes a point outside the spherical ball with its value of a = 10 \ cm = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1 \ m

and k represents Coulomb's constant, valued at

k = 9*10^{9}\ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.

=> E = \frac{ 3 *10^{-6} * 9*10^9 }{ (0.1)^2}

=> E = 2.7*10^{6} \ N/C

A spring is stretched 6 in by a mass that weighs 8 lb. The mass is attached to a dashpot mechanism that has a damping constant o
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Response:

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Clarification:

To determine mass m=weight/g

  m=8/32=0.25

To calculate the spring constant

Kx=mg    (with c=6 inches and mg=8 pounds)

K(0.5)=8               (6 inches converts to 0.5 feet)

K=16 lb/ft

The governing equation for the spring-mass system is

my''+Cy'+Ky=F  

Inserting the known values yields

0.25 y"+0.25 y'+16 y=4 cos 20 t  ----(1) (given C=0.25 lb.s/ft)

Assuming the steady state equation for y is

y=A cos 2t+ B sin 2t

To determine constants A and B, we must equate this with equation 1.

Next, we find y' and y" by differentiating with respect to t.

y'= -2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t

y"=-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t

Now, substitute the values of y", y' and y into equation 1

0.25 (-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t)+0.25(-2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t)+16(A cos 2t+ B sin 2t)=4 cos 20 t

By comparing coefficients on both sides

30 A+ B=8

A-30 B=0

From this, we find

A=240/901 and B=8/901

Thus, the steady state response

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Select the areas that would receive snowfall because of the lake effect.
Keith_Richards [3271]

Result:

- Grand Marais

- Two Harbors

- Duluth

Explanation:

The locations likely to receive snowfall due to lake effect include Grand Marais, Two Harbors, and Duluth. These areas are situated directly along the shores of Lake Superior, one of the world’s largest lakes. Its substantial water volume significantly influences the local climate, generating a lot of humidity in the air and considerable evaporation, both of which lead to cloud formation and, when temperatures drop adequately, result in significant snowfall rather than rain.
