In an effort to protect a rhino, volunteers are following its steps with air monitoring and ground cameras. The rhino starts on

day 1 from ground camera A and walks for 1.5 km west along a straight line as seen from the air. The rhino then moves 0.7 km on a straight line in a direction of 15o east of north toward ground camera B. In this location the rhino may find water and food, therefore the animal stays for the night. On the second day, the rhino moves 2.5 km directly south as recorded from the air by the volunteers. In these two days of tracking how far and in which direction does the rhino travel from camera A?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent each displacement by vectors . i will represent east , -i west , j north and - j south .

Rhino walks 1.5 km west on day 1.

D₁ = - 1.5 i

The rhino then moves 0.7 km on a straight line in a direction of 15o east of north toward ground camera B

D₂ = .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j

On the second day, the rhino moves 2.5 km directly south

D₃ = - 2.5 j

D = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= - 1.5 i + .7 sin15 i + .7cos15 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.5 i + .181 i + .676 j - 2.5 j

= - 1.32 i - 1.824 j

magnitude  of total displacement

= √ (1.32² +1.824²

= 2.25 km

For direction we shall calculate slope with x axis

Tanθ = - 1.824 / - 1.32

= 54°

So rhino will be towards 54° south of west as both x and y coordinates are negative.

Give some examples of why it is important to understand how ocean currents flow
lawyer [7]

Explanation:

Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis Effect which also influences ocean currents

Atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature because...
ExtremeBDS [4]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) atoms are more stable when they combine with other atoms

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Atoms are the smallest particles of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • <em><u>Atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature. Nearly all substances are made up of combinations of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds, which are forces of attractions between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that join the atoms together.</u></em>

2. If a rock fell down a cliff and hit the bottom of the ravine at 4 seconds, how fast was the rock
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: -39.2 m/s or 39.2 m/s directed downwards

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of Free Fall, where the main condition is that the initial velocity must be zero V_{o}=0, and the acceleration is constant (acceleration due gravity).

So, in order to calculate the final velocity V of the rock just at the moment it hitsthe bottom of the cliff, we will use the following equation:

V={V_{o}}^{2}+gt

Where:

g=-9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (directed downwards)

t=4 s is the time it takes to the rock to fall down the cliff

V=(-9.8 m/s^{2})(4 s)

V=-39.2 m/s This is the rock's final velocity and its negative sign indicates it is directed downwards
