Answer:
a) 0m
b) 6m
Explanation:
First, we need to remember:
Displacement: Difference between final and initial position.
Distance traveled: Total distance traveled.
a) If the final position is the same as the initial position, then:
final position = initial position
And we know that:
displacement = final position - initial position = 0
Then the displacement of the book is zero.
b)
We can assume that the book traveled along the perimeter of the table.
The table is a rectangle of width 1.2m and length 1.8m
Remember that for a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is:
P = 2*L + 2*W
Then the perimeter of the table is:
P = 2*1.2m + 2*1.8m = 6m
This means that the distance traveled by the book is 6 meters.
Free fall without air resistance:
g=9.81 m/s²
t=235 s
h=?
h=0.5*g*t²
h=0.5*9.81*235²
h=270879m =270 km
Airplane with nose up: The plane's speed through the air is the square root of (80 m/s squared) plus (120 m/s squared. The whole picture is a right triangle, and the plane's speed is the hypotenuse. The angle is the angle whose tangent is (80/120). You can get it from a calculator, a book, a slide rule, or online from the site that rhymes with floogle.
The man pulling the load is also a right triangle. The horizontal component is (hypotenuse) times (cosine of the angle). The vertical component is (hypotenuse) times (sine of the same angle). Fill in what you know, look up the sin and cos of 25 degrees and write those in too, and then you can solve for what you have to find.
