There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

From the top of a cliff, a person tosses a pebble straight downward with an initial velocity of -9.0 meters/second. After 0.50 s
Irina-Kira [14]
Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

Vector ~A has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. When vector ~B is added to ~A, the resultant vecto
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.

Explanation:

Resultant of vectors = vector sum of all the vectors

Vector A = 29j

Vector B = ?

Resultant of vector A and B = R = -14j

R = A + B

-14j = 29j + B

B = -14j - 29j = - 43j

Hence, the magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 6.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 242 m from poi
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

553.1m

Explanation:

When an object moves at constant velocity we can express this movement like V=x/t, where V is the velocity, x is the displacement and t is the time spent on it.

In that way, the expression x=V.t give us the displacement from t=0s until t=51s, but we have to sum the initial distance from the point A.

x=242m +V.t = 242m + (6.1m/s x 51s) = 553.1m
