The distance is 17 km

The displacement of the boat is about 12 km at 70° S of W

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Vector is quantity that has magnitude and direction.

One example of a vector is displacement.

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

This problem is about Vector Diagram.

<em>On his fishing trip Justin rides in a boat 12 km south.</em>

d_1 = -12 \widehat{j}

\texttt{ }

<em>The fish aren’t biting so they go 4 km west.</em>

d_2 = -4 \widehat{i}

\texttt{ }

They then follow a school of fish 1 km north.

d_3 = 1 \widehat{j}

\texttt{ }

\texttt{Total Distance} = 12 + 4 + 1 = 17 \texttt{ km}

\texttt{ }

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = -12 \widehat{j} - 4 \widehat{i} + 1 \widehat{j}

d = -4 \widehat{i} - 11 \widehat{j}

\texttt{Total Displacement} = \sqrt{4^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{137} \approx 12 \texttt{ km}

\texttt{Direction of Displacement} = \theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{11}{4} \approx 70^o \texttt{ south of west}

In finding the distance that covers we simply add the three km which is 
12 + 4 + 1 = 17km

17 km is the distance they cover.

We are going to use the displacement formula which is
d = vt + 1/2 at^2
d = 11.7 km

11.7 is the displacement

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Answer:

Range = 22.61 m

Explanation:

We can use the formula for the Range in flat ground, given by:

Range=v_i^2\frac{sin(2\theta)}{g}

which for our case renders:

Range=15^2\frac{sin(80^o)}{9.8} \approx 22.61\,\,m
