Draw an x y axis

3 miles west is 3 miles to the left, -3
4 miles south is 4 miles down, -4

connect the the point to the origin, that side is what you are looking for 
that side is also hypotenus

using Pythagorean theorem

sqrt(-4^2 + 3^2)
sqrt(25)
5 

your displacement is 5

If an object undergoes a change in momentum of 10 kg m/s in 3 s ,then the force acting on it is
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Force = 3.333 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Change in momentum = 10 Kgm/s

Time = 3 seconds

To find the force acting on it;

In Physics, the change in momentum of a physical object is equal to the impulse experienced by the physical object.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force * time = mass * change in velocity

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = force * 3

Force = 10/3

Force = 3.333 Newton

In what order does light pass through structures of the eye? lens, cornea, retina cornea, pupil, lens pupil, iris, lens pupil, c
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

Explanation:

When light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer covering of the eye), you can then see that object. The cornea bends, or refracts, the rays that pass through the round hole of the pupil.

A speedboat moving at 28 m/s approaches a no-wake buoy marker 91 m ahead. The pilot slows the boat with a constant acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

7.5 m/s

Explanation:

We can find its velocity when it reaches the buoy by applying one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled

From the question:

u = 28 m/s

a = -4 m/s^2

s = 91 m

Therefore:

v^2 = 28^2 + 2 * (-4) * 91\\\\v^2 = 784 + -728 = 56\\\\v = \sqrt{56}\\ \\v = 7.5 m/s

The velocity of the boat when it reaches the buoy is 7.5 m/s.
