We conclude that Jeremy walked 2.37km North and 0.59 km West.

<h3>How to get the North and West components?</h3>

We can assume that the distance that he walked is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, like the one you can see in the image below.

There, you can see that the adjacent cathetus would be the displacement in the North direction, while the opposite cathetus would be the displacement in the West direction.

Then we can use the relations.

  • Sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
  • Cos(θ)  = (adacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

With θ = 13.9° and hypotenuse = 2.44km

Solving these two we will get:

sin(13.9°) = Y/2.44km

sin(13.9°)*2.44km = Y = 0.59 km

cos(13.9°) = X/2.44km

cos(13.9°)*2.44km = X = 2.37km

So we can conclude that he walked 2.37km North and 0.59 km West.

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

I hope this helps a little! :)

When a golf ball is hit, it travels at 41 meters per second. The mass of a golf ball is 0.045kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

  75.645 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is related to the mass and velocity by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv²

For the given mass of 0.045 kg, and velocity of 41 m/s, the kinetic energy is ...

  KE = 1/2(0.045 kg)(41 m/s)² = 75.645 J

__

The unit of energy, joule, is a derived unit equal to 1 kg·m²/s².
