You are lost at night in a large, open field. Your GPS tells you that you are 122.0 m from your truck, in a direction 58.0o east
of south. You walk 72.0 m due west along a ditch. How much farther, and in what direction, must you walk to reach your truck?
1 answer:
Answer:
The person is 187[m] farther and 70° south to east.
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by drawing a sketch of the location of the person and the truck, then we will draw the displacement vectors and finally the length of the vector and the direction of the vector will be measured in order to give the correct indication of where the person will have to move.
First we establish an origin of a coordinate system.
We can see in the attached schema that the red vector is the displacement vector from the last point to where the truck is located.
The length of the vector is 187 [m], and the direction is 70 degrees south to East.

The correct answer is:
<span>B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force
In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
</span>
<span>because the acceleration is zero: a=0.
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.</span>

Answer:
<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>
When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob is and the the acceleration decreases as
towards the mean position.
The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.
