Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north, how far are you from your starting point? answer

Physics
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
4 0

Solution:

Since the directions are perpendicular,

So we must use Pythagoras theorem:  

d = √(18.0² + 25.0²) m = 30.8 m

Thus,  

This the required distance from the starting point.

____ is undeniably accepted by scientists all over the world as the primary language of science.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Latin

Explanation:

In order for the scientists to have a common and official name for a particular thing that can be understood by every scientist in the world, a single language has been established for the purpose. The language chosen is the Latin language. The official scientific names are given in this language, so it is a necessity for the scientists to know and understand this language. The terms that are commonly used are regional, and they come in many different languages, which is why this language has been chosen. Occasionally, the ancient Greek language is used as well, though much less than the Latin.

An airplane undergoes the following displacements: First, it flies 40 km in a direction 30° east of north. Next, it flies 56 km
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Distance from start point is 72.5km

Explanation:

The attached Figure shows the plane trajectories from start point (0,0) to (x1,y1) (d1=40km), then going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) (d2=56km), then from (x2,y2) to (x3,y3) (d3=100). Taking into account the angles and triangles formed (shown in the Figure), it can be said:

x1=d1*cos(60), y1=d1*sin(60)\\\\ x2=x1 , y2=y1-d2\\\\ x3=x2-d3*cos(30) , y3=y2+d3*sin(30)

Using the Pitagoras theorem, the distance from (x3,y3) to the start point can be calculated as:

d=\sqrt{x3^{2} +y3^{2} }

Replacing the given values in the equations, the distance is calculated.
