You went 100 miles north and 14

Physics

Answer:

82 degrees

Explanation:

consider your staying point to be the center of a circle. this center has the coordinates (0, 0).

the radius of the circle is the distance you walked East (14 miles).

I assume your teacher means as "angle of displacement" the angle between the East-West line going through your starting point and the direct line from your starting point to your current position.

then the 100 miles North is tan(displacement angle)×14.

as it is the same, if you first went North and then East, or the other way around. you end up at the same point, with the same coordinates.

so, again.

100 = 14×tan(angle)

tan(angle) = 100/14 = 50/7 = 7.142857...

the displacement angle is then 82 degrees.

A ball rolls at a speed of 6cm/s. How far does the ball roll in 40 seconds ? ____cm

sesenic [268]

Answer:

240cm

Explanation:

Speed = 6cm/s

Time = 40 seconds

Speed= distance/time

6cm/s = distance/40seconds

Distance = 6×40

Distance = 240cm

Hence, in 40 seconds, the ball must have rolled the distance of 240cm

Can someone help me ASAP

Phantasy [73]

Well I don't know. Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A, B, C, and D all have the same TOTAL length, but A has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of each wave in A must be shorter than each wave in B, C, or D.

The correct choice is A . Looking at the picture did the trick !

A rocket travels vertically at a speed of 1300 km/hr.1300 km/hr. The rocket is tracked through a telescope by an observer locate

Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

initial velocity, $u=1300 km.hr^{-1}$

distance of telescope from the launch pad, $d=13 km$

time after which the observation starts, t = 3 min.

Now, from the equation of motion:

$s=u.t-\frac{1}{2} g.t^{2}$

$s= (1300\times \frac{5}{18}) \times (3\times 60)- \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times (3\times 60)^{2}$

$s=-93760 m$

Which indicates that the after the given time the rocket would have fallen down on the ground if it did not had an acceleration of its own.
