Answer:

The solution is given below:

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below

As we know that

Speed = distance ÷ time

where

distance is 2000 km

And, the time is 2.5 hours

SO, the speed is

= 2,000 ÷ 2.5

= 800 km/h

Now the distance would be the same i.e. 2,000 km

but the time is 2 hours

So, the speed is

= 2,000 km ÷ 2 hours

= 1,000 km/hr

The direction should be opposite to the first airplane

Swinging a golf club or baseball bat are examples of ______________ stretching.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Static stretching is the answer.

Explanation:

Static stretching is the most common form that greatly improves flexibility. However, static stretches does little to contract the muscles needed to generate powerful golf swings. Dynamic stretches help improve your range of motion while reducing muscle stiffness.

Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20? west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0? south of west. how far are y

Gnesinka [82]

The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ . From the figure we know that:

$\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |=12m \\ \\ \left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |=20m \\ \\ \theta_{A}=20^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_{B}=40^{\circ}$

From geometry, we know that:

$\overrightarrow{R}=\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}$

Then using vector decomposition into components:

$For \ A: \\ \\ A_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |sin\theta_A=-12sin(20^{\circ})=-4.10 \\ \\ A_y=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |cos\theta_A=12cos(20^{\circ})=11.27 \\ \\ \\ For \ B: \\ \\ B_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |cos\theta_B=-20cos(40^{\circ})=-15.32 \\ \\ B_y=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |sin\theta_B=-20sin(40^{\circ})=-12.85$

Therefore:

$R_x=A_x+B_x=-4.10-15.32=-19.42m \\ \\ R_y=A_y+B_y=11.27-12.85=-1.58m$

So if you want to find out <span>how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ , that is:
</span>
$\left | \overrightarrow{R} \right |=
\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-19.42)^2+(-1.58)^2}=\boxed{19.48m}$

Finally, let's find the <span>compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:

</span> $\theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{\left | R_y \right |}{\left | R_x \right |}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{1.58}{19.42}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+4.65^{\circ}=185.85^{\circ}$
