The displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

Displacement is defined as the distance moved by a body in a specified direction

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram given, we can see that AB is the displacement

To get the length AB, we will have to use the Pythagoras theorem:

AB^2=2^2+ 6^2\\AB^2 ^2=4+36\\AB^2=40\\AB=\sqrt{40}\\AB= 6.3 miles\\

From the diagram, we can also se that the direction of the displacement in the South West direction.

Hence the displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

A ball of mass m is thrown into the air in a 45° direction of the horizon, after 3 seconds the ball is seen in a direction 30° f
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Velocity (magnitude) is 98.37 m/s

Explanation:

We use the vertical component of the initial velocity, which is:

v_{0y}=v_0*sin(45)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0

Using kinematics expression of vertical velocity (in y direction) for an accelerated motion (constant acceleration, which is gravity):

v_{y}=v_{0y}+a*t=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0-9.8t

Now we need to find v_y as a function of v_0. We use the horizontal velocity, which is always the same as follow:

v_x=v_0cos(45\º)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0=v_{t=3}*cos(30\º) \\

We know the angle at 3 seconds:

v_y(t=3)=v_{t=3}*sin(30\º)\\v_{t=3}=\frac{v_y}{sin(30\º)}

Substitute  v_{t=3} in  v_x and then solve for  v_y

\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0=\frac{v_y*cos(30\º) }{sin(30\º)} \\v_y=\frac{\sqrt{6} }{6}v_0

With this expression we go back to the kinematic equation and solve it for initial speed

\frac{\sqrt{6} }{6} v_0 =\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0-29.4\\v_0(\frac{\sqrt{6}-3\sqrt{2}}{6} )=-29.4\\v_0=98.37 m/s

Answer:

the third law (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).

Explanation:

The skateboarder pushes backwards on the road (that is he applies a force on the road in a direction opposite the direction of intended motion). By Newton's third law, this action of the skateboarder causes an equal reaction of the road on the skateboarder in the opposite direction. Newton's third law states that action and reaction are equal but opposite in direction. So, the road in response to this backward force pushes the skateboarder in the forward direction causing the skateboarder and the skateboard to move in the forward direction.
