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 = \sqrt{N^2 + W^2}

D = 4.93 Km

direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

A 2,300-kg truck is traveling down a highway at 32 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the truck?
kondor19780726 [428]

m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg

v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s

K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?

kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as

K = (0.5) m v²

inserting the values

K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²

K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)

K = (1150) (1024)

K = 1177600 J

hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J
