A hiker travels 45 degrees north of east for 30 km. What is his NORTH (or y) displacement component? Round your answer and inclu

miv72 [106K]

consider X-axis along the east-west direction and north-south direction along Y-axis

A = magnitude of distance traveled by hiker in north-east direction = 30 kilometer

θ = angle of direction of displacement of the hiker relative to x-axis or east direction = 45 degree counterclockwise

A' = component of distance traveled by the hiker along the east direction.

Since the angle is given with the x-axis, the Sin provides the component in Y-direction. hence

Using the equation

A' = A Sinθ

Inserting the values

A' = (30) Sin45

A' = 21.2 km

Q6) Renee buys 5kg of sweets to sell. She pays £10 for the sweets. Renee puts all the sweets into bags. She puts 250g of sweets

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

30% percent profit

Step-by-step explanation:

100 pence in a pound.

1000 grams in a kilogram.

She bought 5000g of sweets.

She pays 10×100=1000 pence.

She put them into 5000÷250=20 bags.

She sells the bags for 65 pence each.

She sells them all for 20×65=1300 pence.

She gets a profit of 300 pence or 3 pounds.

She gets a percent profit of 30%.

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

<em>Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides </em>

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish <u>the two triangles are similar</u>, that is, that t<u>hey have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other. </u>

<u />

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, <u>at the same moment</u>, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.
