Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
1 answer:
<u>Answer</u>
The combined displacement is 2km north
<u>Explanation</u>
Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.
Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.
We now add to obtain,
This will simplify to
Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

Answer:
-1.43 m/s relative to the shore
Explanation:
Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:
where are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively.
are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for
So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore
Answer:
Explanation:
The density of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
V is its volume
In this problem,
m = 42 kg
V = 22 m^3
Substituting into the equation, we find the object's density:
