A person starts at the origin and then walks 6 m to the west, and then 8 m south.
zmey [24]

please mark brainliest

Explanation:

Let the east direction to be i^ and north direction be j^.

Thus displacement of the man   S=8i^+6j^

So, magnitude of displacement  ∣S∣=62+82=100=10 m

a boy throw a ball upward from the top of a cliff 73m high.Calculate the time in which ball will fall on the ground and the velo
LekaFEV [45]

The ball rises for v/g seconds; which equals 14.7/9.8=1.5 seconds . After this time, it’s height will be:


h(t)=g/2(1.5)²+14.7(1.5)


=-4.9 x 2.25 + 22.05


=11.025m


The ball then falls for 49+11.025=60.025m, which takes:


g/2t²=60.025


t²=12.25


t=3.5 secs


Total time: 1.5+3.5=5 seconds

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

Anne releases a stone from a height of 2 meters. She measures the kinetic energy of the stone at 9.8 joules at the exact point i
insens350 [35]
A. 0.5kg

To get this answer you need to follow the equation of KE=0.5*mv^2 
But we don't have the m part in the equation. So just plug in the numbers to see which works best, though I can tell you before we do that the answer would be a. 

As you may know, gravity, is a force of 9.8 m/s. And we want to get 9.8 Joules. So if we take a half a kg stone, release it at one meter, we get half of the normal gravity pull, 4.90 Joules. That means if we take half a kg stone and drop it at a doubled height, we get 9.8 Joules.

That is also to say that if we have a 1kg stone and drop it at one meter you will get the normal pull of gravity in Joules, 9.8J. 

Be careful though, this does not mean if you drop a 1kg stone and a .5 kg stone the 1kg will hit first. This simply means that the 1kg stone will have twice the Joules that the .5kg stone has.
