Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Katarina [22]

Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

m is the mass of object

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}

m = 0.25 kg

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}

k = 24.09 N/m

or

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

Please help me! Uniform acceleration problem sheet:
Brrunno [24]

From the calculation, the value of the acceleration is 5.8 m/s^2.

<h3>What is uniform acceleration?</h3>

The term uniform acceleration refers to a situation in which the velocity increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals.

Given the fact that the car started from rest and reached a velocity of  780.34 mph or 348.84 m/s in 1 minute of 60 seconds;

v = u + at

a = v/t

a = 348.84 m/s/ 60 seconds

a = 5.8 m/s^2
