The displacement is 18.03 steps, and the direction is 47.25°

<h3>How to get the displacement?</h3>

We know that displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

We assume the initial position (0, 0). Let's define the positive x-axis as the east and the positive y-axis as the north.

First, the student moves 8 steps east, so she is at:

(0 + 8, 0)

Then she moves 6 steps northeast, so the new position is:

(6*cos(45°) + 8,  6*cos(45°))

Finally, she moves 9 steps due north, so we have:

(6*cos(45°) + 8,  6*cos(45°) + 9)

Then the final position is:

(12.24, 13.24)

So the displacement is:

D = (12.24, 13.24) - (0, 0) =  (12.24, 13.24)

The magnitude of the displacement is:

|D| = \sqrt{12.24^2 + 13.24^2} = 18.03

So the magnitude is 18.03 steps.

And the direction is given by the arctangent of the quotient between the y-component and the x-component:

\theta = Arctg(13.24/12.24) = 47.25 \°

PLS HELP ASAP! Given a cone with a height of 6 cm and a base diameter of 6 cm, what is the volume of the cone? Use 3.24 for π
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

56.52 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{volume \: of \: cone =  \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2}h }

Diameter= 2 ×radius

Radius

= 6 ÷2

= 3cm

Height, h= 6cm

Volume of the cone

=  \frac{1}{3} (3.14)( {3}^{2} )(6)

= 56.52 cm³

Algebra help please?
spin [16.1K]

Answer is 3 seconds


When the bullet reaches the ground, ground being x in graph (and here its s which is  = 0)

s = -16t^2 + 48t

s = 0, solve for t

0 = -16t^2 + 48t

0 = t ( -16t + 48)

0 = 16t ( - t + 3)

now you have two equation

0 = 16t and 0 = -t +3 ( you can look at the graph line touches x twice)


0 = 16 t

0 = t ( you know its false, because time = 0)


You are left with

0 = -t + 3

t = 3


It takes 3 seconds for the bullet to return to the ground.

// Hope this helps.
