A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km

A cyclist turns a corner with a radius of 50m at a speed of 10m/s. What is the cyclist's acceleration?
miv72 [106K]

2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 50m

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cyclist

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist is directed inside of the corner because his motion is inward. This is a form of centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by;

     a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

v is the velocity

r is the radius

   a =  \frac{10^{2} }{50} = 2m/s²
