The 3 cm vector represents 63 km.

Since a 1 cm long vector represents a displacement of 21 km, we need to find the number of kilometers a 3 cm vector represents.

Let x represent the displacement the 3 cm vector represents.

By ratio, we have 1 cm: 21 km = 3 cm : x

So, 1 cm/21 km = 3 cm/x

Cross-multiplying, we have

x × 1 cm = 3 cm × 21 km

x = 3 cm × 21 km/1 cm

x = 63 km

So, the 3 cm vector represents a displacement of 63 km.

A submarine sends a signal and receives an echo after 5 seconds. Calculate the speed of sound if distance of object from submari
Reil [10]

speed = distance \div time
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

7250 \div 5 = 1450
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

Assign a positive velocity to the red box and negative velocity to the blue box. Are they moving in opposite direction?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.
