     We must decompose the displacement vector to find the new displacement to the west.

d_{x}=v.cos\O \\ d_{x}=200. \frac{1}{2}  \\ d_{x}=100km
  
     Adding all displacements to West, It comes:

\Delta S= d_{o}+d_{x} \\ \Delta S= 150+100 \\ \boxed {\Delta S= 250 km}

If you notice any mistake in English, please let me know, because I'm not native.

masha68 [24]
<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
 Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
 Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>

two objects are thrown from the top of a tall building and experience no appreciable air resistance. one is thrown up and the ot
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.  

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

A cube of plastic 1.2x10^-5 km on a side has a mas of 1.1 g. what is its density in g/cm^3?
Mamont248 [21]
Density = mass / volume

mass = 1.1 g

volume = length of side ^ 3 = [1.2 * 10^-5 km * 100000 cm/km]^3 = [1.2 cm]^3 = 1.728 cm^3

density = 1.1 g / 1.728 cm^3 = 0.64 g / cm^3
