Vector Displacement and Distance Calculation
<p>Ilustramos el problema con un diagrama de vectores:</p> <p>Punto inicial O. El coche se mueve 52 km al Este, llegando al punto A. Luego se mueve 27 km al Sur, llegando al punto B.</p> <p>\[\vec{OA} = 52 \text{ km Este}, \quad \vec{AB} = 27 \text{ km Sur}\]</p> <p>La distancia es la longitud total del camino recorrido, es decir:</p> <p>\[ \text{Distancia} = |\vec{OA}| + |\vec{AB}| = 52 \text{ km} + 27 \text{ km} = 79 \text{ km} \]</p> <p>El desplazamiento es el vector resultante desde el punto de inicio al punto final, es decir \(\vec{OB}\). Calculamos su magnitud utilizando el teorema de Pitágoras, donde el desplazamiento es la hipotenusa de un triángulo rectángulo con lados 52 km y 27 km:</p> <p>\[ |\vec{OB}| = \sqrt{52^2 + 27^2} \]</p> <p>\[ |\vec{OB}| = \sqrt{2704 + 729} \]</p> <p>\[ |\vec{OB}| = \sqrt{3433} \]</p> <p>\[ |\vec{OB}| \approx 58.59 \text{ km} \]</p> <p>Por tanto, la distancia recorrida es de 79 km y el desplazamiento es aproximadamente de 58.59 km.</p>
Buoyancy and Free Fall in Fluids Problem
<p>1) Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The volume of the car submerged, \( V_c \), can be calculated from the given density of the car, \( \rho_c = 50 \) kg/m³, and the weight of the car, \( W_c = 980 \) N. Using the equation \( W_c = \rho_c g V_c \), where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (\( 9.8 \) m/s²), we can find the volume of the submerged part of the car:</p> <p>\[ V_c = \frac{W_c}{\rho_c g} = \frac{980}{50 \times 9.8} = 2 \text{ m}^3 \]</p> <p>Since 10% of the car is above water, the total volume of the car, \( V_t \), is \( V_t = \frac{V_c}{0.9} \). Therefore,</p> <p>\[ V_t = \frac{2}{0.9} \approx 2.22 \text{ m}^3 \]</p> <p>The buoyant force \( F_b \) on the car is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is \( \rho_w g V_c \), where \( \rho_w = 1000 \) kg/m³ is the density of water. Thus:</p> <p>\[ F_b = \rho_w g V_c = 1000 \times 9.8 \times 2 = 19600 \text{ N} \]</p> <p>2) For the free-falling body, the velocity \( v \) at which it hit the bottom of the pond can be found using the kinematic equation \( v^2 = u^2 + 2as \), where \( u \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is the acceleration, and \( s \) is the distance. In water, the acceleration is less due to upward buoyancy and resistance, \( a' = g - (\rho_w/\rho_s)g - 0.4 \) where \( \rho_s \) is the density of substance. If the body's density is \( \rho_b = 550 \) kg/m³, then:</p> <p>\[ a' = 9.81 - (\frac{1000}{550} \times 9.81) - 0.4 \]</p> <p>\[ a' = 9.81 - 17.84 - 0.4 \]</p> <p>\[ a' = -8.43 \text{ m/s}^2 \] (This is the effective acceleration considering buoyancy and resistance.)</p> <p>Using the kinematic equation with \( u = 0 \) (starting from rest), \( a' \) as the effective acceleration, and \( s = 100 \) m (distance to the bottom of the pond):</p> <p>\[ v^2 = 0 + 2(-8.43)(100) \]</p> <p>\[ v^2 = -1686 \]</p> <p>This yields an imaginary number which is not possible in real-life scenarios, which indicates that with the given parameters, the body would not reach the bottom due to the net upward acceleration. This suggests that an error might have been made in determining the resistance or the acceleration is not constant all the way down. In real-world scenarios, the object might eventually reach a terminal velocity where the net acceleration is zero.</p>
Physics Problem on Force, Motion, and Energy
<p>La solution suivante se base sur les données et les équations fournies dans l'image :</p> <p>1. Pour calculer la force de propulsion que la RS18 doit déployer au départ du Grand Prix de France 2018, on utilise la seconde loi de Newton qui affirme que la force est égale à la masse multipliée par l'accélération (\(F = m \cdot a\)).</p> <p>\(F = m \cdot a = 734 \cdot 1,7 = 1247,8 \ N\)</p> <p>2. Pour calculer la distance d'accélération de 0 à 100 km/h pour la RS18, on peut utiliser la formule de la distance parcourue sous une accélération constante \(d = \frac{1}{2} a t^2\) où \(t\) est le temps pris pour atteindre 100 km/h et \(a\) est l'accélération. Cependant, le temps n'est pas fourni, nous ne pouvons pas calculer cette distance sans cette information supplémentaire.</p> <p>3. La distance séparant les deux véhicules à l’arrêté de la vitesse de la lumière est donnée comme \(d = 300000 - 144 = 299856 \ km\).</p> <p>4. La nouvelle règle concernant la masse des pilotes a pour but de ne pas pénaliser les pilotes plus lourds. En effet, si la masse minimale du système voiture-pilote est fixée indépendamment de la masse du pilote, un pilote plus léger pourrait bénéficier d'une voiture plus lourde et donc sujette à de meilleures performances de par sa plus grande adhérence et sa facilité de répartition des masses pour le balancement et la stabilité du véhicule.</p> <p>5. La masse influe sur le mouvement en vertu de la seconde loi de Newton qui stipule que l'accélération est inversement proportionnelle à la masse pour une force donnée. Une masse plus importante nécessiterait une force de propulsion plus grande pour atteindre la même accélération. Cela influence directement les stratégies de course, notamment la gestion de l’énergie et de la force appliquée durant les différentes phases de la course.</p>
Determining Uniform Speed from Given Data
<p>To determine if an object has uniform speed, we compare the distances traveled in equal time intervals. If the distances are equal, the speed is uniform. Without the complete data, we cannot solve this. However, the general approach would be:</p> <p>1. Find the distance traveled in each time interval. If the intervals are given as \( t_1, t_2, t_3, \ldots \) and the distances are \( d_1, d_2, d_3, \ldots \), ensure that each \( t_i \) is equal.</p> <p>2. Calculate the speed for each interval: \( v_i = \frac{d_i}{t_i} \).</p> <p>3. Compare the speeds: if \( v_1 = v_2 = v_3 = \ldots \), the object has uniform speed.</p> <p>Unfortunately, without complete data, we cannot provide a numerical solution.</p>
Relative Motion Problem Involving Two Vehicles
<p>Sean \( x \) y \( y \) las distancias recorridas por el automóvil y el autobús respectivamente en el mismo intervalo de tiempo \( t \).</p> <p>La velocidad del automóvil es de 60 km/h y la del autobús es de 50 km/h.</p> <p>Como la suma de las distancias recorridas por ambos debe ser igual a 150 km, tenemos la ecuación:</p> <p>\[ x + y = 150 \]</p> <p>El espacio recorrido se puede expresar a través del producto de la velocidad y el tiempo, así que podemos escribir:</p> <p>\[ x = 60t \] \[ y = 50t \]</p> <p>Reemplazamos estas expresiones en la primera ecuación:</p> <p>\[ 60t + 50t = 150 \]</p> <p>Combinamos términos semejantes:</p> <p>\[ 110t = 150 \]</p> <p>Despejamos el tiempo \( t \):</p> <p>\[ t = \frac{150}{110} \]</p> <p>Simplificamos la fracción dividiendo numerador y denominador por 10:</p> <p>\[ t = \frac{15}{11} \]</p> <p>Convertimos este tiempo a horas y minutos, sabiendo que 1 hora = 60 minutos:</p> <p>\[ t = 1 \frac{4}{11} \text{ horas} \]</p> <p>Para convertir \( \frac{4}{11} \) horas a minutos, multiplicamos por 60 minutos/hora:</p> <p>\[ \frac{4}{11} \times 60 \text{ minutos/hora} = \frac{240}{11} \text{ minutos} \]</p> <p>\[ \frac{240}{11} \text{ minutos} \approx 21.82 \text{ minutos} \]</p> <p>Así que el tiempo aproximado en que se encuentran es de 1 hora con aproximadamente 22 minutos.</p> <p>Para calcular la distancia recorrida por el automóvil (\( x \)) en este tiempo, multiplicamos su velocidad por el tiempo:</p> <p>\[ x = 60 \times 1 \frac{4}{11} \]</p> <p>\[ x = 60 \times \left(1 + \frac{4}{11}\right) \]</p> <p>\[ x = 60 + \frac{240}{11} \]</p> <p>\[ x \approx 60 + 21.82 \]</p> <p>\[ x \approx 81.82 \text{ km} \]</p> <p>Por lo tanto, el automóvil ha recorrido aproximadamente 81.82 km cuando ambos vehículos se encuentran.</p>

Analysis of Resultant Forces in Different Configurations
For problem F2-1: <p>The two forces can be added using vector addition. Let's break them down into their x and y components. \(F_{1x} = 6 \cos(45^\circ), F_{1y} = 6 \sin(45^\circ)\) \(F_{2x} = -2 \sin(45^\circ), F_{2y} = 2 \cos(45^\circ)\) \(R_x = F_{1x} + F_{2x}\) \(R_y = F_{1y} + F_{2y}\)</p> <p>The magnitude of the resultant force \(R\) can be found using Pythagoras' theorem: \(R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}\) The direction \(\theta\) relative to the x-axis is: \(\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{R_y}{R_x}\right)\)</p> For problem F2-2: <p>To find the resultant force acting on the hook, we add the two forces vectorially. \(F_{1x} = 200 \cos(30^\circ), F_{1y} = 200 \sin(30^\circ)\) \(F_{2x} = -500 \sin(60^\circ), F_{2y} = 500 \cos(60^\circ)\) \(R_x = F_{1x} + F_{2x}\) \(R_y = F_{1y} + F_{2y}\)</p> <p>Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force \(R\) is: \(R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}\)</p> For problem F2-3: <p>The resultant force is the vector sum of the three forces. \(F_{1x} = 800 \cos(30^\circ), F_{1y} = 800 \sin(30^\circ)\) \(F_{2x} = -600\) \(F_{3x} = -600 \cos(45^\circ), F_{3y} = -600 \sin(45^\circ)\) \(R_x = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}\) \(R_y = F_{1y} + F_{3y}\)</p> <p>The magnitude of the resultant force \(R\) is: \(R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}\) And the direction \(\theta\) measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis is: \(\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{R_y}{R_x}\right)\)</p>
Calculating Work Done by a Force at an Angle
<p>The work \( W \) done by a force when moving an object through a displacement \( d \) at an angle \( \theta \) to the direction of the force is given by:</p> <p>\[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \]</p> <p>Given that the force \( F \) is \( 50 \text{N} \), the displacement \( d \) is \( 10 \text{m} \), and the angle \( \theta \) is \( 30^\circ \):</p> <p>\[ W = 50 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) \]</p> <p>First, calculate \( \cos(30^\circ) \):</p> <p>\[ \cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]</p> <p>Then compute the work done \( W \):</p> <p>\[ W = 50 \cdot 10 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]</p> <p>\[ W = 500 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]</p> <p>\[ W = 250\sqrt{3} \text{J} \]</p> <p>Therefore, the work done by the force is \( 250\sqrt{3} \) joules.</p>

Physics Problem: Stopping a Car on a Wet Road
The image contains a physics problem written in Italian. It describes a car with good pneumatics on a wet road that is able to brake with a constant deceleration of 4.92 m/s². There are two questions (Va) and (Vb) being asked based on this scenario: (Va) How much time does it take to stop when the initial velocity is 24.6 m/s? (Vb) How much space is needed to stop? Let's solve each question one at a time. For (Va): Time to stop (t) We can use the formula for deceleration (a) to find the time (t) it takes for the car to come to a stop with an initial velocity (u): v = u + at Since the final velocity (v) is 0 when the car stops, and we have the values for u and a, we can rearrange the formula to solve for t: 0 = 24.6 m/s + (-4.92 m/s²)t -24.6 m/s = -4.92 m/s²t t = 24.6 m/s / 4.92 m/s² t = 5 seconds For (Vb): Space needed to stop (d) We can use the formula that relates initial velocity, final velocity, deceleration, and distance: v² = u² + 2ad Again, the final velocity (v) is 0, and we have the other values: 0 = (24.6 m/s)² + 2*(-4.92 m/s²)d 0 = 605.16 m²/s² - 9.84 m/s²*d 9.84 m/s²*d = 605.16 m²/s² d = 605.16 m²/s² / 9.84 m/s² d = 61.5 meters So, the answers are: (Va) The time it takes for the car to come to a stop is 5 seconds. (Vb) The space needed for the car to stop is 61.5 meters.
Solving for Acceleration Due to Gravity in Physics Problem
The image shows a physics problem that reads: "If a ball is dropped and attains a velocity of 29.4 m/s in 3.00 s, what is the acceleration due to gravity?" To solve for the acceleration due to gravity, we can use the kinematic equation that relates initial velocity (v_i), final velocity (v_f), acceleration (a), and time (t): \[ v_f = v_i + at \] For an object that is dropped, the initial velocity is zero (\( v_i = 0 \)), so the equation simplifies to: \[ v_f = at \] We can now solve for acceleration (a) using the final velocity (v_f) and time (t) provided: \[ a = \frac{v_f}{t} \] Plugging in the given values: \[ a = \frac{29.4 \text{ m/s}}{3.00 \text{ s}} \] \[ a = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 \] So, the acceleration due to gravity is \( 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 \), which is consistent with the average acceleration due to gravity on Earth.
