In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.

A walker walks 4 blocks west and then 4 blocks south. How much farther did the walker travel than the actual distance between the start and end points?

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance

How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will sink or float?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

Consider the three dip1acement vectors A = (3i - 3j) m, B = (i-4j) m, and C = (-2i + 5j) m. Use the component method to determin
tia_tia [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a.D=A+B+C

D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j

D=2i-2j

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude=\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2 units

By using the formula \mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Direction:\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}

By using the formula

Direction of D:\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}

b.E=-A-B+C

E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j

E=-6i+12j

\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4units

Direction of E=\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}
