If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?
Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1

\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}

and the direction will be north-east.

if a spring has a spring constant of 2 N/m and it is stretched 5 cm, what is the force of the spring?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.1 N

Explanation:

Considering the relationship between force,

spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law

The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be

F=2*0.05=0.1 N
