"A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 kilometers due east and then 1.4 kilometers due north. The vectors in the diagram below

represent these two displacements.
On the diagram in your answer booklet, use a ruler to construct the vector representing the hiker’s resultant displacement."

Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35  [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!

What is the kinetic energy k of an electron with momentum 1.05×10−24 kilogram meters per second?
fiasKO [112]
Momentum = mv
where m is the mass of an electron and v is the velocity of the electron.

v = momentum ÷ m
   = (1.05×10∧-24)÷(9.1×10∧-31) = 1,153,846.154 m/s

kinetic energy = (mv∧2)÷2
                       = (9.1×10∧-31 × 1,153,846.154∧2) ÷2
                      = (1.21154×10∧-18) ÷ 2
                      = 6.05769×10∧-19 J

You need to put a metal rod
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
-- Put the rod into the freezer for a while.  As it cools,
it contracts (gets smaller) slightly.

-- Put the cylinder into hot hot water for a while.  As it heats,
it expands (gets bigger) slightly.

-- Bring the rod and the cylinder togther quickly, before the
rod has a chance to warm up or the cylinder has a chance
to cool off.

-- I bet it'll fit now.

-- But be careful . . . get the rod exactly where you want it as fast
as you can.  Once both pieces come back to the same temperature,
and the rod expands a little and the cylinder contracts a little, the fit
will be so tight that you'll probably never get them apart again, or even
move the rod.

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.47. You may want to review (Pages 141 - 145) . Part A How fast was the
shusha [124]

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 1500kg

Coefficient of friction, μk = 0.47

Distance, x = 68m

Speed, s = ?

We know,

Force, F = ma

and

F = μ X m X g

Therefore,

μ * m * g = m * a

μ * g = a

Let, g = 9.8m/s²

So,

a = 0.47 * 9.8 m/s^2

a = 4.606m/s^2

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

where, v is the final velocity

           u is the initial velocity

           a is the acceleration

           s is the distance

If the car comes to rest, the final velocity, v becomes 0.

So,

u^2 = 2 * 4.606 * 68\\\\u^2 = 626.416m/s\\\\u = 25m/s

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .
