A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?

Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.

Helga [31]
I think you almost got it.

At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.

With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set

v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7

or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.

Answer: 129.5 m

Explanation:

310 + 115 + 25 + 68 = 518

518 / 4 = 129.5 m

i think. Sorry if this is wrong
