Answer:

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.

Why do seat belts help protect passengers when a car stops quickly? Explain your answer in terms of forces and motions.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

If the driver is wearing a seat belt, the seat belt rather than the windshield applies the unbalanced force that stops the driver's forward motion. The force from the seat belt is applied over a longer time, so the force causes less damage.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:The main formula is v² = u² + 2as

Explanation:

S=½(u +v)t

t = v+u/a

S=½(v-u)(v+u/a)

S=½v²+uv-uv-u²/a

2as=v²-u²
