At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ =  63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal
azamat

Answer: 0.145 seconds

Explanation:

Given that Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal speed of 119.7 m/s. How long did the ball take to reach home plate 17.3 m away

Since the speed is horizontal

Using the formula for speed which is

Speed = distance/time

Where

Speed = 119.7 m/s

Distance covered = 17.3 m

Time is what we are looking for

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

119.7 = 17.3/ time

Make time the subject of formula

Time = 17.3 / 119.7

Time = 0.145 seconds.

Therefore, it will take 0.145 seconds to reach the home plates

A risk-free, zero-coupon bond with a $5000 face value has ten years to maturity. The bond currently trades at $3650. What is the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The Yield to Maturity of the bond is YTM = 3.20%

Explanation:

Mathematically the Yield to Maturity of the bond  YTM is as follows

           YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

Where C is the amount of payment to be made = $0

           P is the price i.e the present value =$3650

           F is the face value of the bond=$5000

          n is the year of maturity of the bond = 10 years

            YTM = \frac{0+\frac{5000-3650}{10} }{\frac{5000+3650}{2} } * \frac{100}{1}

                      =3.20%

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

W=-Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

W=-\mu mg d (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d

And solving for \mu, we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767
