Answer:

the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

Explanation:

Given;

6km due west, and

5km due north

The magnitude of her displacement is calculated by forming a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse side of the triangle is the girl's displacement.

d² = 5² + 6²

d² = 25 + 36

d² = 61

d = √61

d = 7.81 m

The direction of the girl is calculated as;

tan \ \theta = \frac{6}{5} \\\\tan \ \theta = 1.2\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (1.2)\\\\\theta = 50.2^0

Therefore, the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

eduard

The force exerted by a pressure of any gas over a surface its given by the formula P=F/S (where P is pressure, F force and S surface).

We can multiply both sides of the formula by S to obtain the force.

P*S=(F*S)/S

P*S=F

Solve for P=1.80*10^5 Pa and S=4.10*10^-4 m^2 ([Pa] =[N/m^s])

(1.80*10^5 N/m^s) * (4.10*10^-4 m^2) =F

73.8 N =F

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium <br>​
dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.

Who has the greater velocity, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the Earth or you when you have just traveled from
Alik [6]

Answer:

the answer is

Explanation:

constant acceleration

because when the object's velocity is changing then the object is accelerating or decelerating

as acceleration describe changing of velocity so the answer is constant acceleration

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = (Change in velocity) / time taken

Acceleration = (Final velocity - initial velocity) / time

As the object velocity changes by the same amount in each second, it means the acceleration is constant.

An object is moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s for 5 seconds. What is
german

initial velocity (u)=0m/s

final velocity (v)=10m/s

time( t)=5s

acceleration (a)=v-u÷t

acceleration (a)=10-0÷5

acceleration (a)=10÷5

acceleration (a)=2

therefore acceleration (a)=2m/s
