A person going for a walk follows the path shown in Figure P3.35. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths. At the end of the walk, what is the persons resultant displacement measured from the starting point? Figure P3.35
A high-tech drone flies over Miami, FL in a direction 50.4 west of north with a speed of 35.4 km/h. Three hours later, the drone suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 19.2 km/h. How far (in kilometers) from Miami, FL is the drone 4.50 h after it passes over the Miami. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
1. A boy walks 20 m west, 12 m in direction of 30 degrees north of west and 40m in direction of 60 degrees south of west in 5 minutes. Determine magnitude and direction of his average velocity.
A student drove to the university from their home and noted that the odometer reading of their car increased by 14.0 km. The straight-line distance (that is, the magnitude of displacement) between the student's home and the university is 10.0 km. This trip took 30.0 min. The student then returned home by the same path 7.00 hours after they left home. Whch of the following statement is correct? The average speed of the student during this whole day is 20.0 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 28.0 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 2.00 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 0 km/hour.
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 500 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 42 m/s and 37.0° angle with respect to the ground. How long does it take for the ball to reach its the maximum height, in seconds? Use g = 10.0 m/s. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
1) A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 15.8 km. The trip took 25.9 min. a) What was her average speed, in meters per second? b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25° south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in meters per second? c) If she drove back home using the same path she took out to the university and arrives 7.9 h after she first left home, what was her average speed for the entire trip, in meters per second?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A student drove to campus from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 12 km. The trip took 18 minutes. If the straight line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25 degrees south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in km/hr?
An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
