A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 119 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 87.7 km/h in a

direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

The magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h

The direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

<h3>Velocity of the truck relative to the car</h3>

The velocity of the truck relative to the car is the resultant velocity of the vehicles.

The resultant velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

<h3>Vertical component of the velocity</h3>

Vyi = 119 km/h

Vy2 = 87.7 km/h x sin(35) = 50.3 km/h

Vy(total) = 119 km/h + 50.3 km/h = 169.3 km/h

<h3>Horizontal component of the velocity</h3>

Vx = -87.7 x cos(35) = -71.84 km

<h3>Resultant velocity</h3>

v = √Vy² + Vx²

v = √[(169.3²) + (-71.84)²]

v = 183.9 km/h

<h3>Direction of the velocity</h3>

θ = arc tan(Vy/Vx)

θ = arc tan(169.3 / -71.84)

θ = -67 ⁰

θ = 67 ⁰ north of west.

Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h and the direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

A spring stretches 5 cm when a 300-N mass is suspended from it. Calculate the spring constant in N / m .
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

Explanation:

Given:

Length of spring stretches = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Force = 300 N

Find:

Spring constant in N / m

Computation:

Spring constant in N / m = Force/Distance

Spring constant in N / m = 300 / 0.05

Spring constant in N / m = 6,000

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 6.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 242 m from poi
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

553.1m

Explanation:

When an object moves at constant velocity we can express this movement like V=x/t, where V is the velocity, x is the displacement and t is the time spent on it.

In that way, the expression x=V.t give us the displacement from t=0s until t=51s, but we have to sum the initial distance from the point A.

x=242m +V.t = 242m + (6.1m/s x 51s) = 553.1m
