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.

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot
Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

A bullet travels at 850 m/s. how long will it take a bullet to go 1 km?
Dmitrij [34]
The speed of bullet =
850 m/s

Distance given = 1 km = 1000m

S = D/t
t • S = D/t • t
St = D
St/S = D/S
t = D/S
t = 1000m/850m/s
t = 1.176 s

It will take the bullet 1.176 or about 1.18 seconds to go 1 km.

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =
sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)

Explain how friction keeps a nail in place in a block of wood. If you try pull out the nail which way does friction act?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.
