While playing a scavenger hunt game, Anthony walks 48.0 m to the south and then walks 12.0 m to the west. What single straight-l

ine displacement could Anthony have taken to reach this point?

As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.

Which statement best defines inertia? An object's motion is unaffected by any external forces acting upon it. An object responds
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

An object responds to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force

Explanation:

The inertia of a body can be defined with the help of Newton's second law

          F = m a

Where F is the applied force, a is the acceleration of the body and m is the mass

the force and the acceleration are vectors that point in the same direction and m is a scalar constant that relates the two vectors, this scalar constant is called masses and it measures the resistance of the bodies to the change of motion.

From the previous statement we see that the statement that best describes inertia is:

An object responds to force by tending to move in the direction of the force.

How did mount st. Helen get its name
steposvetlana [31]

The modern name, Mount St. Helen's, was given to the volcanic peak in 1792 by seafarer and explorer Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. He named it in honor of fellow countryman Alleyne Fitzherbert, who held the title 'Baron St. Helen's.

You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the
Brrunno [24]

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.


Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.


In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.


Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.



Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.


Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.
