Answer:

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is P(x,y) = (x,y), its polar form is defined by:

P(x,y) = (r,\theta) (1)

Where:

r - Norm, measured in meters.

\theta - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} (3)

If we know that x = -3.50\,m and y = -2.50\,m, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}

r \approx 4.301\,m

Since x < 0\,m and y < 0\,m, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)

\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

a box is at rest on a ground. An unbalance force acts on the box causes it to start. The box moves 10 meters in 2 seconds and th

The box stopped moving because there was a negative acceleration in the x direction caused by friction.
To find the average speed, simply divide the displacement by time: 10 / 2 = 5 m/s
