Answer:

10.88 km

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in terms of i , j unit vectors in the direction of east and north .

4.5 km due west

D₁ = - 4.5 i

6.7 km at an angle of 27° south of west

D₂ = - 6.7 cos27 i - 6.7 sin27j

= - 6.7 x .89 i - 6.7 x .45 j

= - 5.96i - 3 j

Total displacement

= D₁ + D₂

= - 4.5 i - 5.96i - 3 j

= -10.46 i - 3j

Magnitude = √ ( 10.46² + 3²)

= √ ( 109.41 + 9)

= √ 118.41

= 10.88 km .

If you separate vector B into its components. How many components will it have? Those components will be called?

Inessa [10]

The vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

<h3>What is a component vector?</h3>

A component vector is a unit vector that represents a given vector in a particular direction.

A vector can be represented in x - direction and y - direction.

x - component of the vector = Bcosθ
y - component of the vector = Bsinθ

Thus, the vector B will have two components and those components will be called resultant vectors.

Answer:

388.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight = 70N

Height = 5.55m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy at the top of the ladder = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of the body.

Gravitational potential energy = Weight x height

So;

Gravitational potential energy = 70 x 5.55 = 388.5J

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a

Elza [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.
