The direction of its displacement wil be
c.northeast
In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by
and the direction will be north-east.
The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
Let's call
the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
where m is the mass of the car.
The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.
