Answer:

distance in east is 1273.78 m

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 1.32 m/s west =

hike = 5.21 km = 5.21 × 10³ m

average velocity = 3.49 m/s west

average velocity = 0.687 m/s east

to find out

distance in east

solution

we consider here distance in east  is = x

so distance from starting point = 5.21 × 10³ - x        ...................1

and we can say time required to reach end

time required = distance / speed

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32}    ................2

and

time required for 6.44 km west

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}    ................3

and time required for distance x

time required = \frac{x}{0.687}    ................4

so from equation 2 , 3 and 4

\frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32} = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}  + \frac{x}{0.687}

x = 1273.78 m

so distance in east is 1273.78 m

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.
