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.

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t
Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.
