Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 3.90m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 1.50 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the ? and ?‑components if North is the +? direction and East is the +? direction. a) ?-component (m/s): ?-component (m/s): b) Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter‑clockwise from due East.
Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 4.65 m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 2.10 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the x- and y-components if North is the +y-direction and East is the +x-direction. x-component: m/s Y-component: m/s Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter-clockwise from due East. magnitude & direction: at a angle counter-clockwise from due East

people love to play with balls nowadays especially during quarantine as theres not much to do. lets say we have a ball that hits another ball that is at the rest. after they hit and smash each other, the first ball moves 4m/s on the platform and makes an angle of 25 degrees while the other ball has a speed of 3m/s.. FIND a)get the angle b3tween da d1rection of motion of da second one (ball) and the original direction of motion of da first one. b) find da original sp33d of the first one c)let me ask u this question. is the kinetic energy is being conserving?
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?
