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.

How is newton's first law used in basketball?
arlik [135]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it. This law appears in basketball when the player is shooting the ball. When the player is holding the ball, the ball is at rest but when a player shoots the ball, they use force to throw the ball in the hoop.
