In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
Caleb left home and traveled toward the city A at an average speed of 57.9 km/h. Some time later, Kim left traveling in the opposite direction with an average speed of 46 km/h. After Caleb has traveled for 1.24 hours they were 117 km apart. Find the number of minutes Kim traveled. Round off only on the final answer expressed in three decimal places. PLEASE SHOW YOUR COMPLETE AND CORRECT SOLUTION. ASAP! Thank you.
Caleb left home and traveled toward the city A at an average speed of 61.1 km/h. Some time later, Kim left traveling in the opposite direction with an average speed of 48.6 km/h. After Caleb has traveled for 1.46 hours they were 144 km apart. Find the number of minutes Kim traveled. Round off only on the final answer expressed in three decimal places.
