We first determine the vertex by using the formula,<span>-b/2a = vertex, in order to get the values for the t-coordinate. That is why we got
</span>
v_y=26.5 sin(53)=21.163v_x=26.5 cos(53)=15.948
then
let x=0since you are going to land on a 3m tally=-.5(9.8)t^2+ 21.163*t
y=0=-4.9t+21.163t=4.31
vx*4.31= total distance travelled=68.88m
Then for the first wheel, you have 15.948m=vxdetermine the time when he reaches 23 meters, that is
23/15.948=1.44218 sec
substitute t with1.44218 sec, then determine the height.
h(1.44218)=20.329
determine vertex by using a graphing calculatort=2.1594s h=22.85m
using the time value of the vertex, determine horizontal distance travelled
34.438m away from cannon
it would be..... C
sorry if I am wrong I tryed to think, At least I try!
as it is given that
now we will have
now the magnitude of this vector is given as
now to find the direction we can use
Total distance: 56 meters. Magnitude and direction of displacement: 20 meters South.
Explanation:
The term distance refers to space between one point and other, or the total space a body or object covered while moving. In the case presented, this can be calculated by adding the partial distances given. This means the total distance is 56 meters as 26 meters + 18 meters + 12 meters = 56 meters.
On the other hand, displacement considers the distance from the initial position to the final position, and the direction of movement. This means partial distances should not be added but each movement should be considered according to the direction. The process is shown below:
-The first movement was 26 meters southward; this means by the end of this movement the distance between the initial position was 26 meters south.
- The second movement was 18 northward; this means the kayaker moved 18 meters towards the position. This changes the displacement to 8 meters South as 26 meters south - 18 meters north = 8 meters to the South.
-The last movement was 12 meters sound; this means the kayaker increased the distance from the original position 8 meters to the South + 12 meters to the South = 20 meters South (total displacement.)
