We have that
<span>A (-8, -2) and B(16,6)

step 1
find the distance AB in the x coordinates
dABx=(16-(-8))-----> 24 units

step 2
find coordinate x of P (Px)
Px=Ax+(3/5)*dABx------> Px=(-8)+(3/5)*24----> 6.4

step 3
F</span>ind the distance AB in the y coordinates
dABy=(6-(-2))-----> 8 units

step 4
find coordinate y of P (Py)
Py=Ay+(3/5)*dABy------> Py=(-2)+(3/5)*8----> 2.8

the coordinates of P are (6.4,2.8)

see the attached figure

A miniature quadcopter is located at xi = −1.75 m and yi = −5.70 m at t = 0 and moves with an average velocity having components
Black_prince [1.1K]

The quadcopter's average velocity is given in terms of change in position by

\vec v_{\rm av}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}\,\vec\imath+\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}\,\vec\jmath

where \Delta x=x_f-x_i, the difference in the quadcopter's final and initial positions and \Delta t=(1.60-0)\,\mathrm s=1.60\,\mathrm s.

The x-component of the average velocity is 2.70 m/s, so

2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\dfrac{x_f-(-1.75\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\rm s}\implies \boxed{x_f=2.57\,\mathrm m}

and the y-component is -2.50 m/s, so

-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\dfrac{y_f-(-5.70\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\rm s}\implies\boxed{y_f=-9.70\,\mathrm m}
