Answer:

The displacement of RV for the two days is 118.85 km at an angle of 67.75° with the east direction.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance moved in the East direction (d) = 45 km

Distance moved in the North direction (D) = 110 km

Displacement is defined as the difference of final position and initial position.

Let us draw a diagram representing the above situation.

Point A is the starting point and point C is the final position of RV.

So, the displacement of RV in two days is given as:

Displacement = Final position - Initial position = AC

Now, triangle ABC is a right angled triangle with AB = 45 km, BC = 110 km, and AC being the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2\\\\AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for AC. This gives,

AC=\sqrt{(45\ km)^2+(110\ km)^2}\\\\AC=\sqrt{2025+12100}\ km\\\\AC=\sqrt{14125}\ km\\\\AC=118.85\ km

Now, the direction of displacement with the east direction is given as:

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{BC}{AB})\\\\\theta =\tan^{-1}(\frac{110}{45})=67.75^\circ

Therefore, the displacement of RV for the two days is 118.85 km at an angle of 67.75° with the east direction.

Calculate the volume of 19 kilograms of petrol if the density of petrol is 800 kg/m?​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

i hope this will help you :)

Explanation:

mass=19kg

density=800kg/m³

volume=?

as we know that

density=mass/volume

density×volume=mass

volume=mass/density

putting the values

volume=19kg/800kg/m³

so volume=0.02375≈0.02m³

What do you mean by reflection of sound​
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Reflection of sound waves also leads to echoes. Echoes are different than reverberations. Echoes occur when a reflected sound wave reaches the ear more than 0.1 seconds after the original sound wave was heard. ... Reflection of sound waves off of curved surfaces leads to a more interesting phenomenon.

The motorcycle travels with a constant speed v0 along the path that, for a short distance, takes the form of a sine curve. Deter
Alexandra [31]

Let at any instant of time the speed is vo and the angle made by the bike with the horizontal is given

now we have

component of speed in x direction given as

v_x = v_0cos\theta

component of speed in y direction will be

v_y = v_0sin\theta

now from above two equations we can say that here

\theta = angle with the horizontal at any instant

and since here it is a sine curve so we know that

y = sin(x)

so we have slope of graph

tan\theta = \frac{dy}{dx} = cos(x)
