Answer:
Explanation:
This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.
The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.
On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.
Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives
For the y-direction gives
Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity
Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.
Answer:
The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km
Explanation:
Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km
the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km
The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.
R' = x' + y'
