Answer:

 Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° north of west.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y direction and east represent positive x direction. Unit vector along x direction is represented by i and vector along unit vector along y direction is represented by j

Initial displacement = 17 miles north = 17 j miles

Final displacement = 24 miles at an angle of 40° west of north = 24 miles at an angle of 130° to positive x -axis

                               = (24 cos 130 i + 24 sin 130 j )

                               = (-15.43 i + 18.36 j ) miles

Total displacement = 17 j + (-15.43 i + 18.36 j) = -15.43 i + 35.36 j

Magnitude of displacement =\sqrt{(-15.43)^2+35.36^2} =38.58 miles

Angle to positive x -axis = tan⁻¹(35.36/-15.43) = 113.57°

Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° west of north.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The
nordsb [41]

Answer:

t=6.96s

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

v_{oy}=96ft/s

y_{o}=112ft

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}

Solving for t using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112

t=-0.999s or t=6.96s

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?
dezoksy [38]
The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.
