You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a veloc- ity of 6.0 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk m

oving directly away from the balloon in a direction due north. The speed of the hawk relative to you is 2.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the hawk’s velocity relative to the ground? Express the directional angle rel- ative to due east.

Answer:

6.32 m/s at an angle of 18.43° northeast

Explanation:

We represent the hawk's velocity as follows:

v_{Hawk}=v_{balloon}+v_{HawkRelativetoBalloon}=6 x+2 y

We set east as the positive x direction and north as the positive y direction. Hence, the magnitude is simply calculated using the square root of the squared components:

|v_{hawk}|=\sqrt[]{6^2+2^2}=\sqrt{40}≈6.32 m/s

And the angle in relation to east is given by:

arctan(\frac{2}{6} )=18.43 \°

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice th
Softa [2668]

Response:

The new resistance is half of the original resistance.

Explanation:

Resistance in a wire is represented by:

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of the material

L and A are the physical dimensions

If a wire is exchanged for one where all linear dimensions are doubled, i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

The updated resistance of the wire can be calculated as follows:

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance equals half of the original resistance. Thus, this provides the solution needed.

A kangaroo jumps to a vertical height of 2.8 m. How long was it in the air before returning to earth
serg [3231]
The kangaroo reaches a maximum vertical altitude of 2.8 m, which can be calculated using the formula 2.8 = 1/2 * 9.8 * t^2. Thus, applying the equation s = ut + 1/2at^2.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
Keith_Richards [2911]

The frequency of a sound remains constant as it departs from the source. It does not alter.

The voices of swimmers do not modify in frequency when transitioning to or from the water. Only their speed and wavelength vary.

Result: 168N

The calculation shows 16 - 10 equals 6
and 6 divided by 10 equals 0.6
. Therefore, F equals 280 multiplied by 0.6 equals 168.
