displacement is 4 km in north direction.


Explanation:

we are given

 A runner traveled 15 kilometers north first

then backtracked 11 kilometers south

we have to find displacement=d=?

assume that  east side represents +ve x- axis(horizontal)

and

north represent +ve y - axis (vertical)

we can take  x-axis (horizontal) as  i

and y-axis (vertical) as j.

Displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 km north

<u>Answer:</u>

 Resultant displacement is 4 km north.

<u>Explanation:</u>

    Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

   A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping,

   So initial displacement, 15 kilometers north = 15 j km

        Second displacement, 11 kilometers south = -11 j km

   Total displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 j km

   Total displacement is 4 km north.

zhuklara [117]

Answer: The cake would be 100F after about 47 minutes

Explanation:

Initial temperature = 210F

Time at 140F = 30 minutes

At 140F the cake has lost (210-140)F

= 70F

70F is lost on 30minutes

Rate of temperature reduction

= (70/30) F/min

= 7/3F/min

To lose 110F from 210 to 100F

Temp/time = 7/3

110/t = 7/3

Cross multiply

t = 330/7

t = 47.1429minutes ~ 47min

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m
