Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

What are the parts of a wedge and their function?​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides. This force causes the object to split apart

If there no motion then there is no force acting? true or false
goblinko [34]

Answer:

false.

Explanation:

If a object is at rest it does not means that no force is acting on the object.

There can be a scenario that all to forces acting on the object balance each other and the net force required for motion is zero.

So, the given statement is false.
