Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction=55.52\°

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance d between two points:

d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}} (1)

d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}} (2)

d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}} (3)

d=34.45 m (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}  (5)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}  (6)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}  (7)

Finding \theta:

\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})  (8)

\theta= 55.52\°  (9) This is the direction of the vector

A ball is thrown downward at 12 m/s from a windowsill 35 m above the ground. At the same time, another ball is thrown upward at
wariber [46]

Answer:

The second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 12 m/s

height of fall, h = 35 m

initial velocity of the second, v = 12 m/s

Time taken for the first ball to land;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =\sqrt{ \frac{2*35}{9.8}}\\\\t = 2.67 \ s

determine the maximum height reached by the second ball;

v² = u² -2gh

at maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 12² - (2 x 9.8)h

19.6h = 144

h = 144 / 19.6

h = 7.35 m

time to reach this height;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_1 =  \sqrt{\frac{2*7.35}{9.8}}\\\\t_1 = 1.23 \ s

Total height above the ground to be traveled by the second ball is given as;

= 7.35 m + 35m

= 42.35 m

Time taken for the second ball to fall from this height;

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2*42.35}{9.8} }\\\\t_2 = 2.94 \ s

total time spent in air by the second ball;

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 1.23 s + 2.94 s

T = 4.17 s

Time taken for the second ball to land after the first ball is given by;

t = 4.17 s -  2.67 s

T = 1.5 s

Therefore, the second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.
