A dog runs 50 meters north 40 meters east and 20 meters south what is the displacement

1 answer:

3 0

So....
imagine the x and y axis or draw it on a piece of paper, a white board or even on your wall if you like. I'm kidding just draw it on a piece of paper

50m up and 20m down
the dog's displacement is 50 - 20 which is 30
your answer is 30m north

Citrus2011 [14]

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force

patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) $53^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, $\theta = 37.0^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

$F_{N} = mgcos\theta$

$F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N$

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

$90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}$

Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour in 2.22 s starting from rest. Assuming that they have constan

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$10.07m/s^2$

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: $v_{i}=0mph$ (starts from rest)

final velocity: $v_{f}=50mph$

time: $t=2.22s$

Since we need the answer in $m/s^2$ , we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

$v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s$

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

substituting the known values:

$a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2$

the acceleration is 10.07 $m/s^2$

What role does actin and myosin play in the process of muscle contraction?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and myosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another. The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of myosin to actin filaments, allowing myosin to function as a motor that drives filament sliding.
