Answer:

a1 = -2.89 units

a2 = 3.17 units

magnitude = 4.2896 units

direction = 132.35 degrees

Explanation:

We can write the vector in component form as: <-2.89, 3.17>

That means that its i and j components are:

a1 = -2.89 units

a2 = 3.17 units

The magnitude of the vector is given by:

\sqrt{(-2.89)^2 +3.17^2} \approx 4.2896

The vectors direction can be found from the tangent function, ad noticing that the vector must reside on the Second Quadrant:

arctan(-3.17/2.89) + 180^o\approx 132.35^o

What is the kinetic energy of a 620.0 kg roller coaster moving with a velocity of 9.00 m/s?
Darina [25.2K]
The kinetic energy of a moving object is calculated through the equation,
                         KE = 0.5mv²
where m is the mass and v is the velocity. 
Substituting the known values,
                         KE = 0.5(620 kg)(9 m/s)²
                           KE = 25,110 J
Thus, the kinetic energy is equal to 25,110 J.

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
