-- Bob covered a distance of (32m + 45m) = 77 meters.
-- His displacement is the straight-line distance and direction
from his starting point to his ending point.
The straight-line distance is
D = √(32² + 45²)
D = √(1,024 + 2,025)
D = √3,049 = 55.22 meters
The direction is the angle whose tangent is (32/45) south of east.
tan⁻¹(32/45) = tan⁻¹(0.7111...) = 35.42° south of east.
A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away at a rate of 2 ft/sec.
a.) How fast is the top of the ladder moving down the wall when the base of the ladder is 12 feet from the wall?
Answer:
dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec
Explanation:
Given that:
dz/dt = 0,
dx/dt = 2,
dy/dt = ?
Hence, we have the following
Using Pythagoras theorem
We have 25ft as the hypotenuse, y as the opposite or height of wall, and x as the base of the triangle
X² + y² = z²,
12² + y² = 25²,
y² = 25² - 12²
y = √481
Therefore, we have the following:
2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt,
= 2z dz/dt,
= 12 (2) √481 dy/dt,
= √481 dy/dt = -24,
= dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec
Therefore, final answer is -1.094ft/sec

Hope this helps you out if you could please leave 5 stars or brainiest thank you
At angular speed of 3 rev/s, the object moves a distance equal to 3 times the circumference of the circle each second, or a distance of 3 • 2<em>π</em> (1.20 cm) ≈ 22.6 cm.
So, with a linear speed of 22.6 cm/s = 0.226 m/s, the object has a centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> of
<em>a</em> = (0.226 m/s)² / (0.012 m) ≈ 18.8 m/s²
directed toward the center of the circle.
