A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the

moving van. (2) How far is the van from its starting point? (Hint: it is the magnitude of the displacement vector).

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will <u>also</u> still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong
