A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a

straight line) of the hiker from the camp?

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.

butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=2500J,b=1000K,c=1000J,d=14.142m/s

Explanation:

V²=U²+2gh

V²=0 + 2×10×10=200m/s

a).kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²=(1/2)25×200=2500

potential energy=mgh

p.e=25×10×10=2500J

pe+ke=2500+2500=5KJ

b).mgh=25×10×4=1000J

c). V²=U²+2gh

V²=0+2×10×4

V²=80

kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

=(1/2)25×80

=1KJ

d). From my first paragraph V²=200

V=√200

V=14.142m/s
