Answer:
16 km
Explanation:
Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.
The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.
11^2 + 11^2 = c^2
121 + 121 = c^2
242 = c^2
c = 15.56
Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.
To do this we may use things that are good conductors - are painted dull black -
Have a air flow around them Maximised.
Answer: The average velocity is -0.965m/s
Explanation: The first step is to calculate the two velocities is both directions. A velocity is a distance per unit time.
V=d/ t
=-5.7/2.1
=-2.7m/s
For the other direction the velocity is
V=7.3/9.5
=0.77m/s
The average velocity the add the velocities and divide them by 2.
V=-2.7+0.77/2
V= 0.965m/s
