Answer: 5km by straight line, 7km by route.

Explanation:

The distance by route is 3km south and then 4km east, notice that the distances are perpendicular to each other, so the total distance traveled (by a straight line) is:

D = √((3km)^2 + (4km)^2) = √(9km^2 + 16km^2) = (√25)km = 5km

So the distance by a straight line that he needs to go back to where he started is 5km, and if he wants to get back by route, he must do 4km to the west and then 3km to the north, so a total of 7km

a plane travels 2.5 km at an angle of 35 degrees to the ground and then changes Direction and travels 5.2 km and an angle of 22

Bess [88]

We can solve for the resultant x and y components by using the sine and cosine functions.

resultant x = 2.5 cos 35 + 5.2 cos 22 = 6.87 km

resultant y = 2.5 sin 35 + 5.2 sin 22 = 3.38 km

The resultant displacement is calculated using hypotenuse equation:

displacement = sqrt (6.87^2 + 3.38^2)

displacement = 7.66 km

The resultant angle is:

θ = tan^-1 (3.38 / 6.87)

θ = 26.20°

Therefore the magnitude and direction is:

7.66 km, 26.20° to the ground

A butcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg.How would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once

LekaFEV [45]

Answer and Explanation:

The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.
By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.

a stone is vertically thrown upward with the velocity of 72km/hr find the maximum height reached the height

erik [133]

Answer:

y = 20.38 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve these problems, we must use the following kinematics equation.

$v_{f} ^{2} =v_{i} ^{2}-(2*g*y)$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 72 [km/h]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

y = vertical elevation [m]

We need to convert [km/h] to [m/s]

$72[\frac{km}{h}]*[\frac{1h}{3600s}]*[\frac{1000m}{1km} ] = 20 [m/s]$

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the acceleration acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the body. And the final speed is zero, because when the body reaches the maximum height, the Stone does not move its speed has been reduced to its entirety.

0 = (20)^2 - (2*9.81*y)

20^2 = 2*9.81*y

y = 20.38 [m]
