- Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far (in meters) are you from your starting point?arrow_forwardA team is exploring a tresure. They start at the entrance of a national park and makes the following straight line movements: 68 m, north, 50 m, 25° north of west (155° CCW) 34 m, west 42 m, 17° south of east (343° CCW) Determine their position relative to the entrance of the national park. Can this be explained with a lot of detail in irder to understand.arrow_forwardWhile exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 115 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and 185 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance. The figure below suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.arrow_forward
- A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 5.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 4.00 blocks east. (a) What is her resultant displacement? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. blocksarrow_forwardA long-distance runner kept up a pace of 8.0 minutes per 1 km for a total of 6530 seconds. How many miles did the runner travel? Assume that 1 mile is equivalent to 1.61 km. Answer isn't 8.447 8.45 4,800 8.248 13.6 6,530 8.5arrow_forwardTom Cogwagee Longboat, of the Six Nations of the Grand River, is one of Ontario's best known distance runners. In 1907, he set a new Boston Marathon record, beating all of the previous decade's champions by almost 5 minutes! If he ran the 39.2 km course in 2 hours, 24 minutes and 24 seconds, what was his speed? HINT: we'll need our units to be metres per second - what do you need to convert in the question? 0.221 m/s O 0.272 m/s O 4.52 m/s O 17.5 m/sarrow_forward
- Suppose a machine is invented to measure the amount of knowledge in a student’s head in units called “factoids.” One student is measured at F(t) = t³ − 6t² + 9t factoids at time t, where t is measured in weeks. a. Find the rate at which the student is gaining (or losing) knowledge as a function of time (be sure to give the units). b. During what time between t = 0 and 11 is the student losing knowledge? c. Sketch a graph of the function F(t).arrow_forwardCan you go step by step.arrow_forwardOne afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.91 km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) What is the distance they travel? (b) What is the magnitude of the couple's displacement? (c) What is the direction (relative to due east) of the couple's displacement? (a) Number Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number i Unitsarrow_forward
- USE THE CORRECT NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES IN THE ANSWER!arrow_forwardA car is traveling at a speed of 29 m/s on an interstate highway where the speed limit is 76 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding the speed limit? What is the car's speed in mi/h? Observe correct number of significant figures in your final answer.arrow_forwardYou are driving 65.0 miles/hour and you see a police car, so you slow down to 42.5 miles/hour. It takes you 3 seconds to do this. What is your deceleration? (I asked this one before, but someone plugged in -22.5 miles/hr x 2.237 m/s / 1 mile an hour which I didn't understand)arrow_forward
