Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

                            h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

                                 h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

                                        t² = \frac{2h}{g}

                                         t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

                                         t = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }

                                         t = 6.62 s

Answer:

u_K=0.862

Explanation:

The force of friction between the quails feet and the ground is:

F=m*a

F_K=m*a

F_K=u_k*m*g

u_K*m*g=m*a_c

u_K*g=a

u_K=\frac{a_c}{g}

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

So the coefficient of static is solve

u_K=\frac{\frac{v^2}{r}}{g}

u_K=\frac{v^2}{r*g}=\frac{(2.6m/s)^2}{0.80m*9.8m/s^2}

u_K=0.862

A delivery truck travels 2.8 km North, 1.0 km East, and 1.6 km South. The final displacement from the origin is ___km to the ___
34kurt

Answer:

The final displacement from the origin is <u>1.6</u> km to the <u>NE</u>

Explanation:

The directions in which the delivery truck travels are;

1) 2.8 km North = 2.8·\hat j, in vector form

2) 1.0 km East = 1.0·\hat i, in vector form

3) 1.6 km South = -1.6·\hat j, in vector form

Therefore, to find the final displacement, Δx, of the delivery truck, we add the individual displacements as follows;

Final displacement, Δd = 2.8·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i +(-1.6·\hat j) = 1.2·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i

Final displacement, = 1.0·\hat i + 1.2·\hat j

Where;

Δx = The displacement in the x-direction = 1.0·\hat i

Δy = The displacement in the y-direction = 1.2·\hat j

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector is given as follows

\left | d \right | = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) = √(1² + 1.2²) ≈ 1.6 (To the nearest tenth)

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector ≈ 1.6 km

The direction of the resultant vector is positive for both the east and north direction, therefore, the direction of the resultant vector = NE

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the delivery truck is approximately 1.6 km, NE from the origin.
