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

When the space shuttle coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed about the earth, is it accelerating? if so, in what directio
pochemuha
Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer is 1/16

Explanation:

1. Persistence of vision refers to the optical illusion that occurs when visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye. 2. The persistence of vision for normal eye is 1/16 if a second.

At what speed will a box be falling at a time t = 0.75 s after being dropped?
IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

Initial speed(u)= 0 m/s (Ball is dropped)

time(t)= 0.75 s

acceleration(a)= 10 m/s² (gravity)

Final speed(v)= u+at

v=0+(10)× 0.75

v=7.5 m/s

Speed is 7.5 m/s
