Explanation:

A girl goes for a walk. Her motion is recorded on the coordinate plane below. On the plane, each block represents 1 km.

(a) We need to find the displacement of the girl. The displacement of a particle is equal to the shortest path covered by her. In the given graph, the initial position of the particle is A and finally it comes to point B. So, the displacement of the girl is 4 km.

(b) The distance walked by the girl is equal to the total path covered by her during her entire motion. So, the distance walked by the girl is 2 km + 4 km + 2 km = 8 km.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suvat
we have s, u, v and we want a
the suvat equation with these values in is: v^2 = u^2 - 2as
so a = (-v^2 + u^2)/-2s
plug numbers in
a = (-85^2 + 0^2)/-2*36 = 7225/72 = 100.3... ms^-2

A bullet is fired into the air at an angle of 45°. How far does it travel before it is 1,000 feet above the ground? (Assume that

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

It travels 1414 feets.

Explanation:

Let's take the length the bullet travels l as the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the height it reaches one of its sides. Since we got the angle α at which it was fired and the height h it reached, we can calculate l using the sin(α) function:

$sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}\\sin(\alpha)=\frac{h}{l}\\l=\frac{h}{sin(\alpha)}$
