Answer:
Final coordinates in meters : (2.17, -8.6)
Explanation:
We have the equation
displacement Δd = average velocity x time
In this case there are two components of displacement corresponding to the two components of average velocity
[tex]v_{avg}(x) = 1.70 \; m/s[/tex]
[tex]v_{avg}(y) = -1.50 \; m/s[/tex]
Time traveled is t = 2.60s
So the x component is toward east (+x) axis and y component is due south(-y axis)
[tex]\sf{x \;displacement \;} \Delta_x = v_{avg}(x) x t= 1.70m/s \; \times \; 2.60 = 4.42 m\\\\[/tex]
Since the original x-coordinate was at -2.25m, the end x coordinate is
x = -2.25 + 4.2 = 2.17
The y-displacement
[tex]\sf{y \;displacement \;} \Delta_y = v_{avg}(y) x t\\\\ = - 1.50m/s \; \times \; 2.60 = - 3.9 m\\\\\\\\[/tex]
The starting y-coordinate was at y = -4.70m
So final y-coordinate = -4.7 - 3.9 = -8.6m
Final coordinates in meters : (2.17, -8.6)
What is the Gravitational pull of something that weighs 254.4 Newtons and is at a 40 Degree angle?
An object weighing 254.4 N and inclined at a 40° angle has a gravitational pull of 2380.5.
The formula of a Force is F=Mg.
Where M is the mass of an object, and g is the gravity.
[tex]F_{1}[/tex]=254.4× 10, Value of gravity ≈ 10.
= 2544
Here F ≠ Mg, due to an angle of 40°.
∴ [tex]F_{ax}= mass. cos \alpha[/tex] .
= 254.4× cos 40
As cos40 =0.766
= 254.4 × 0.766
= 194.88
To find a Normal force, use the formula of Gravitational pull.
[tex]F_{total} = F_{1}-F_{bx}[/tex] , here [tex]F_{bx} = M. sin\alpha[/tex] =163.5
= 2544-163.5
=2380.5
Hence Gravitational pull is 2380.5

a rubber boot is at rest on an inclined plane. when the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to 35.8°, the boot begins to slide down the incline. then, when the angle is decreased to 30.2°, the speed of the boot is constant. what are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the boot and the incline? static kinetic
The boot and incline have 0.859 as their static and kinetic friction coefficients.
How to simplify the equations of kinetic and mechanical energy?We start for the first angle where the given angle is 36.5 ° and the acceleration is zero.
The force equations would be given by:
F = m g sin θ
N = m g cos θ
Fr = μs N
Where μ is coefficient of friction (static)
If we make a sum of forces in the direction in which the block moves we will have the sin θ Component and that of the friction force, so
∑ F = 0
F - Fr = 0
F = Fr
mg sin θ = μ N
m g sin θ = μ m g cos θ
solving for the coefficient, then
μ = sin θ / cos θ = tan θ
substitute the value in the above equation, we get
μ = tan (36.5)
μ = 0.740
We apply the same consideration for the angle of 30.5°, then we know that
μk = tan θ
substitute the value of θ, in the above equation, we get
μk = tan (30.5)
μk = 0.859
Therefore, the value coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the boot and the incline is 0.859.

Use the picture above to explain what is happening with the visible light in terms of: reflection, absorption, refraction and transmission. Use specific
details from the picture in your answer!
Since the picture is not provided, I have given how reflection, absorption, refraction and transmission of visible light works.
There are electrons present in the atoms and molecules of objects. A visible light wave will have certain frequency. If the frequency of the light wave matches with the frequency that causes the electron to vibrate, the electrons will absorb the energy of light for vibrational motion. During the vibrational motion, the vibrational energy is converted into thermal energy. This is how light is absorbed.
The waves that do not match the frequencies are reflected if the object is opaque and is transmitted if the object is transparent. If the object is has high refractive index, the light bends and comes out the other side, It is called as refraction.

if a wooden box and a steel box with identical shapes are holding under water, the wooden box tends to float when released but the steel box sinks. this is because the buoyant force experiences by the wooden box is larger than that experiences by the steel box.
The buoyant force is same for both boxes. Steel box sinks because its density is higher than water and the density of wood is lower than water.
An object that is fully or partially submerged in a fluid will experience an upward push called the buoyant force. Another name for this upward thrust is up thrust. An object's propensity to float in a fluid is known as buoyancy. Any object submerged in a liquid or gas experiences an upward force known as the buoyant force when there is gravity present.

a particle of charge q and mass m is accelerated from rest through a potential difference v, after which it encounters a uniform magnetic field b. if the particle moves in a plane perpendicular to b, what is the radius of its circular orbit?
The radius of its circular orbit is calculated to be 1/B √(2qV/m)
If the field is vacuum, then the magnetic field is dominant factor determining the motion. As the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle then continues to follow curved path until it forms a complete circle. As the magnetic force is perpendicular to velocity, so that no work is done on the charged particle. The kinetic energy of the particle and speed remain constant. The direction of motion is usually affected but not the speed.
The speed of particle just before entering into magnetic field is v₀
qV = 1/2*m *v₀²
v₀= √(2qV/m)
Radius of the circular path is given by
r= mv₀/qB

Decreasing.
Determination of a wave's amplitude:
The amplitude of a sound wave determines how loud or loud it is. A louder sound has a bigger amplitude, and a softer sound has a smaller amplitude.
Higher pitch and sharper edges result from decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency. As a result, increasing the frequency makes sounds sharper while increasing the amplitude or intensity increases the volume.
A sound wave's amplitude measures the height of the wave. When a sound is made, the maximum displacement of the medium's vibrating particles from their mean position determines the amplitude of the sound wave.

Assuming that the night will remain clear, calm, and unsaturated, the predicted minimum temperature is 32°f. suddenly, the wind speed increases and remains gusty throughout the night. The minimum temperature will most likely be higher than predicted due to mixing.
As wind speed increases, it moves the air molecules at a greater frequency due to collisions, and hence, the overall kinetic energy of the molecules increases making them move at a higher speed.
When the night is calm and clear then the surface of earth will be cooler than usual as the air molecules move at normal speed. However, when the wind speed increases, it draws warmer air from the surrounding which is mixed downward on the earth's surface preventing the temperature from dropping.

compressed?
Answer:
[tex]0.7\; {\rm m}[/tex].
Explanation:
If spring with spring constant [tex]k[/tex] is compressed by [tex]x[/tex] relative to the equilibrium, the elastic potential energy [tex]E[/tex] stored in that spring will be [tex]E = (1/2)\, k\, x^{2}[/tex].
For the spring in this question, it is given that [tex]E = 196\; {\rm J}[/tex] whereas [tex]k = 800\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}[/tex]. The displacement [tex]x[/tex] needs to be found.
Note that [tex]\begin{aligned}E &= 196\; {\rm J} = 196\; {\rm N \cdot m} \end{aligned}[/tex] (one joule is the work done when a force of [tex]1\; {\rm N}[/tex] is applied over a distance of [tex]1\; {\rm m}[/tex].)
Rearrange the equation [tex]E = (1/2)\, k\, x^{2}[/tex] to find displacement [tex]x[/tex] in terms of potential energy [tex]E[/tex] and spring constant [tex]k[/tex]:
[tex]\begin{aligned} x^{2} = \frac{2\, E}{k}\end{aligned}[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned} x &= \sqrt{\frac{2\, E}{k}} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 196\; {\rm N \cdot m}}{800\; {\rm N\cdot m^{-1}}}} \\ &= \sqrt{0.49\; {\rm m^{2}}} \\ &= 0.7\; {\rm m} \end{aligned}[/tex].
In other words, the spring has been compressed by [tex]x = 0.7\; {\rm m}[/tex] from the equilibrium.
