It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.
Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90 S
= 1.32 N + 4.75 W
D = 
D = 4.93 Km
direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west
Question: What was his initial velocity?
Answer: 3.62 m/s
Answer:
750 people
Explanation:
From the question,
Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city
N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1
Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.
Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.
Substitute into equation 1
N = 50(1.5×10)
N = 750 people.
Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.
