If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?

Physics

vodomira [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

 Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

 First walking 1.2 km north,  displacement = 1.2 j km

 Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

 Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

 Magnitude = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km

 Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0 = 36.87⁰ east of north.

a driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch, and then resumes driving for the next 2.0 h through a di
daser333 [38]

Answer:

v = 98.75 km/h

Explanation:

Given,

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₁ = 135 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 1.5 h

The halting time, tₓ = 46 minutes

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₂ = 215 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 2 h

The average speed of the vehicle before stopping

                                    v₁ = d₁/t₁

                                        = 135/1.5

                                       = 90 km/h

The average speed of vehicle after stopping

                                    v₂ = d₂/t₂

                                         = 215/2

                                        = 107.5 km/h

The total average velocity of the driver

                                      v = (v₁ +v₂) /2

                                         = (90 + 107.5)/2

                                         = 98.75 km/h

Hence, the average velocity of the driver, v = 98.75 km/h
