Complete Question
A field mouse trying to escape a hawk runs east for 5.0m, darts southeast for 3.0m, then drops 1.0m down a hole into its burrow. What is the magnitude of the net displacement of the mouse?
Answer:
The values is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance it travels eastward is 
The distance it travel towards the southeast is 
The distance it travel towards the south is 
Let x-axis be east
y-axis south
z-axis into the ground
The angle made between east and south is 
The displacement toward x-axis is
The displacement toward the y-axis is
Now the overall displacement of the rat is mathematically evaluated as
The answer is C. Hope this helps.
According to my research I found questions with the same info with option choices and they are:
A.) How many people in the study had the flu?
B.) How many people were included in the study?
C.) What was the average age of the people in the study?
D.) What was the most common occupation of people in the study?
Among those options the answer would be the second choice B)
Answer:
1.5 m
Explanation:
Let the distance from the box to the pivot be c.
Let the distance from the pivot to the effort be y.
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Effort force (Fₑ) = 7 N
Force of resistance (Fᵣ) = 14 N
Distance from the box to the pivot (c) = 0.75 m
Distance from the pivot to the effort (y) =?
Clockwise moment = Fₑ × y
Anticlock wise moment = Fᵣ × c
Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment
Fₑ × y = Fᵣ × c
7 × y = 14 × 0.75
7 × y = 10.5
Divide both side by 7
y = 10.5 / 7
y = 1.5 m
Therefore, the distance from the pivot to the effort is 1.5 m
The kayaker has velocity vector
<em>v</em> = (2.50 m/s) (cos(45º) <em>i</em> + sin(45º) <em>j</em> )
<em>v</em> ≈ (1.77 m/s) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )
and the current has velocity vector
<em>w</em> = (1.25 m/s) (cos(315º) <em>i</em> + sin(315º) <em>j</em> )
<em>w</em> ≈ (0.884 m/s) (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> )
The kayaker's total velocity is the sum of these:
<em>v</em> + <em>w</em> ≈ (2.65 m/s) <em>i</em> + (0.884 m/s) <em>j</em>
That is, the kayaker has a velocity of about ||<em>v</em> + <em>w</em>|| ≈ 2.80 m/s in a direction <em>θ</em> such that
tan(<em>θ</em>) = (0.884 m/s) / (2.65 m/s) → <em>θ</em> ≈ 18.4º
or about 18.4º north of east.
