A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims d1 = 74.8 m north, makes a turn to the east and con

tinues for d2 = 160.7 km, then follows a big grouper (a kind of fish) for d3 = 75.5 m in the direction θ = 41.8° north of east. Finally, she swims d4 = 198.1 m south.Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

Response:R=1607556m

θ=180degrees

Clarification:

d1=74.8m

d2=160.7km=160.7km*1000

d2=160700m

d3=80m

d4=198.1m

Utilizing an analytical approach:

Rx=-(160700+75*cos(41.8))= -160755.9m

Ry= -(74.8+75sin(41.8))-198.1=73m

Magnitude, R:

R=√Rx+Ry

R=√160755.9^2+20^2=160755.916

R=160756m

Direction,θ:

θ=arctan(Rx/Ry)

θ=arctan(-73/160755.9)

θ=-7.9256*10^-6

It is worth noting that since θ is in the second quadrant, 180 is added

θ=180-7.9256*10^6=180degrees

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock's displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 %
inna [2951]

The height measures 69.68 m

Explanation:

Given data

Before striking the ground =  46 % of the total distance

To establish

the height

Solution

We know here acceleration and displacement, which is

d = (0.5)gt²..............1

Here d is the distance, g is the acceleration, and t is time

So, when an object falls it will be

h = 4.9 t²....................2

For the first part of the inquiry

The falling objects account for

54 % of the total distance

0.54 h = 4.9 (t-1)²...................3

Thus,

Now we possess two equations with unknown variables

We can equate both equations

The first equation already solves for h

Substituting h in the second equation allows us to find t

0.54 × 4.9 t² = 4.9 (t-1)²  

t = 0.576 s and  3.771 s

We choose here 3.771 s since 0.576 s is negligible; the distance covered in the last second before it impacts the ground is 46 % of the entire fall.

Thus, selecting t = 3.771 s

Then h from equation 2

h = 4.9 t²

h = 4.9 (3.771)²

h =  69.68 m

Thus, the height is 69.68 m

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that
Maru [3232]

Answer:

The correct option is 80 dB.

Explanation:

The transformation of sound intensity level into sound intensity utilizes the formula

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

Where I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

[D] results in 100 dB

100 = 10 log (I/I₀)

Log (I/I₀) converts to 10

(I/I₀) = 10¹⁰

I is determined as I₀ × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻¹² × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻² W/m²

Sound intensity inversely relates to the square of the distance from the source.

I ∝ (1/d²)

I can be expressed as k/d²

When d = 1 m, the intensity is 10⁻² W/m²

Thus, 0.01 = k/1

Providing that k = 0.01 W

For d = 20 m, we can calculate I

I = 0.01/20² = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

With four neighbors mowing their lawns concurrently,

I = 4 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁴ W/m⁻²

The sound intensity level in decibels is represented as

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

[D] = 10 log (10⁻⁴/10⁻¹²)

[D] = 10 log (10⁸)

[D] = 10 × 8 = 80dB

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. What multiple of the time constant τ gives the time the cap
Maru [3232]
a) 0.13*τ; b) 2.08*τ. To describe the discharging process of a capacitor through a resistor, consider the following: Q(t) = Qo * exp(-t/τ) to signify a loss of 1/8 of its charge. In this scenario, Q(t) = 7/8 * Qo = 7/8 * exp(-t/τ). By rearranging, we have ln(7/8)*τ = -t, thus t = -ln(7/8)*τ = 0.13. For a loss of 7/8 of its charge, we use Q(t) = 1/7 * Qo * exp(-t/τ), leading to t = -ln(1/8)*τ = 2.08.

To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to
kicyunya [3136]

Answer:

a)  τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b) τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c) α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

Explanation:

a) The torque can be expressed as

        τ = r x F

To tackle this equation, using the determinant approach is the most straightforward method

        \tau =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\F_{x}&F_{y} &F_{z}\end{array}\right]  

The resulting expression is

      τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b) Now let's compute

     τ = i ^ (0.075 1.4 -0.035 8.4) + j ^ (0.035 2.8 - 4.07 1.4) + k ^ (4.07 8.4 - 0.075 2.8)

     τ = i ^ (- 0.189) + j ^ (-5.6) + k ^ (33,978)

     τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c) To find angular acceleration, we use

       τ = I α

       α = τ / I

The moment of inertia being a scalar means that only the magnitude of each component changes, orientation remains constant.

           

     α = (-0.189i^  -5.6 j^  + 33.978k^) / 241

     α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

Tiana jogs 1.5 km along a straight path and then turns and jogs 2.4 km in the opposite direction. She then turns back and jogs 0
inna [2951]

Answer:

Distance: 4.6 km Displacement= -0.2 km

Explanation:

The overall distance covered: 1.5 + 2.4 + 0.7 = 4.6 km

Displacement calculation: 1.5 - 2.4 + 0.7 = -0.2 km

The displacement could also simply be stated as 0.2 km depending on whether negative value is preferred.
