Answer:

 Length of displacement vector = 7.51 m

Explanation:

 Consider east as positive X axis and North as positive Y axis.

 Eric headed 6 meters east, Displacement = 6 i

 Then he headed X meters north, Displacement = X j

 Total displacement = 6 i + X j

  Angle it makes with horizontal axis, θ = tan⁻¹(X/6) = 37°

  X/6 = tan 37

   X = 4.52 m

Total displacement = 6 i + 4.52 j

Magnitude = \sqrt{6^2+4.52^2} =7.51m

 Length of displacement vector = 7.51 m

A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc
Harman [31]

Answer:

E=88200\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of car, m=1500\ kg
  • distance of skidding after the application of brakes, d=15\ m
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.4

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

f=\mu_k.N

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8

f=5880\ N

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

E=f.d

E=5880\times 15

E=88200\ J is the dissipated energy.

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.
