The resultant displacement of the man is 109.77 km in the direction N60°E.

<h3>Displacement</h3>

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specified direction.

To calculate displacement, the straight line from starting point to end point of travel is taken and calculated.

<h3>Resultant displacement of the man </h3>

In the example above, a man walks 95 km, East, then 55 km, north.

The two distances form a right-angled triangle with two sides 95 and 55 units. The hypotenuse gives the resultant displacement, D.

Using Pythagoras rule:

D^2 = 95^2 + 55^2

D^2 = 12050

D = 109.77

Thus, the resultant displacement is 109.77 km

To calculate the direction:

Let the direction be y

y + x = 90°

tan x = 55/95

tanx x = 0.578

x = 30°

Then, y = 90 - 30

y = 60°

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the man is 109.77 km in the direction N60°E.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

<u>So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.</u>

The center of gravity of a loaded truck depends on how the truck is packed. If it is 4.0 m high and 2.4 m wide, and its CG is 2.

Vitek1552 [10]

The slope of the road can be given as the ratio of the change in vertical

distance per unit change in horizontal distance.

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked without tipping over is approximately <u>54.55 %</u>.

Reasons:

Width of the truck = 2.4 meters

Height of the truck = 4.0 meters

Height of the center of gravity = 2.2 meters

Required:

The allowable steepness of the slope the truck can be parked without tipping over.

Solution:

Let, <em>C</em> represent the Center of Gravity, CG

At the tipping point, the angle of elevation of the slope = θ

Where;

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}}$

The steepness of the slope is therefore;

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}} \times 100$

Where;

$\overline{AM}$ = Half the width of the truck = $\dfrac{2.4 \, m}{2}$ = 1.2 m

$\overline{CM}$ = The elevation of the center of gravity above the ground = 2.2 m

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{1.2}{2.2} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%$

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \mathbf{\dfrac{2.2}{1.2}} = \dfrac{11}{6}$

$Elevation \ of \ the \ road \ \theta = arctan\left( \dfrac{6}{11} \right) \approx 28.6 ^{\circ}$

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked is <u>54.55 %</u>.
