Answer:

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction.  Speed is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time required for that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

i'll convert 12,250 meters into 12.250 kilometers (km).  Not needed, but it's my preference.  Time is 1.7 hours:

Speed = (12.250 km)/(1.7 hr) = 7.2 km/hr  (to 2 sig figs)

The direction is southwest, or SW

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

An object is projected horizontally at 18.4 m/s from the top of a 162.7 meter cliff.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  106.03 meters  

Explanation:

The height is given by the formula for motion under the influence of gravity.

  h = -4.9t^2 +162.7

Height is 0 when ...

  0 = -4.9t^2 +162.7

  4.9t^2 = 162.7

  t^2 = 162.7/4.9

  t = √(162.7/4.9)

The horizontal distance traveled in that time is ...

  (18.4 m/s)√(162.7/4.9) s ≈ 106.03 m

The object will strike the ground about 106.03 meters from the base of the cliff.
