Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19 km

tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2

\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

Air only has a density of 1.3kg/m². What is the mass of<br>3m^3 of air?​
Katarina [22]

Answer:

m = 3.9 [m³]

Explanation:

We must remember that the density of the substance is defined as the relationship between mass over volume. That is expressed in the following equation:

Ro = m/V

where:

Ro = density = 1.3 [kg/m³]

m = mass [kg]

V = volume = 3 [m³]

Now replacing the values.

m =Ro*V\\m = 1.3*3\\\\m=3.9[m^{3}]
