Timmy bikes to school 3 kilometers east and 2 kilometers south. What is Timmy's final displacement?

Physics

Answer:

3.6km South East

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point and the direction it is displaced in. To calculate the displacement we can use the pythagoras theorem because the 3km East and the 2km south form the two shorter sides of a right angled triangle between the starting and ending points. So, the displacement is the length C of the triangle which we can calculate as follows:

Pythagoras Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

(2)^2+(3)^2=c^(2)

4+9=c^2

Square root 13 = c

c=3.6km (1dp)

The total displacement is 3.6km and is in the approximate direction of South East (because he travelled east and south).

Hope this helped!

1. A 0.40 kg ball is launched at a speed of 16 m/s from a 22 m cliff.
Masja [62]

Answer:

51.2 J, 86.2 J, 137.4 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 0.40 kg is its mass

v = 16 m/s is its speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.40)(16)^2=51.2  J

The potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

where

m = 0.40 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 22 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting,

U=(0.40)(9.8)(22)=86.2 J

Finally, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy:

E=K+U=51.2 + 86.2=137.4 J

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding
AnnyKZ [126]
Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.

HELP MY GRADES-
belka [17]
If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.
