A student leaves school on his skateboard heading east. He travels at a rate of 15 km/h. At the same time, another student leaves the school heading directly south on a bike at a rate of 20 km/h. At what rate is the distance between the two students increasing when the skateboarder is 3 km from the school and the biker is 4 km from the school?

Do Exercise 3.16 again using analytical techniques and change the second leg of the walk to 25.0 m straight south. (This is equivalent to subtracting B from A —that is, finding R=AB ) (b) Repeat again, but now you first walk 25.0 m north and then 18.0 m east. (This is equivalent to subtract A from B —that is, to find A=B+C. Is that consistent with your result?)
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?
I took 2.28km and converted it to 2280 meters then divided by 3200 and ended up with .71m/s but it keeps saying that its incorrect. Im not sure where I keep messing up. John walks 1.80 kmkm north, then turns right and walks 1.40 kmkm east. His speed is 1.60 m/sm/sduring the entire stroll. What is the magnitude of his displacement, from beginning to end? (2.28) If Jane starts at the same time and place as John, but walks in a straight line to the endpoint of John's stroll, at what speed should she walk if she wants to arrive at the endpoint just when John does?
A driver needs to make a delivery to an office that is 30 km away. The driver has traveled for 45 minutes west down a straight road at 50 km/h. a. Has the driver traveled far enough to reach the office? Support your response. b. Assume the driver has gone far enough and is traveling on the correct road. If he has not yet seen the business, what should he do to make the delivery? Explain your reasoning. Plzzz help
An automobile traveling at the rate of 20 m/s is approaching an intersection. When the automobile is 100 meters from the intersection, a truck traveling at the rate of 40 m/s crosses the intersection. The automobile and the truck are on perpendicular roads. How fast is the distance between the truck and the automobile changing two seconds after the truck leaves the intersection? Please show your complete solution and write clearly and readable. Thank you.
Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance? Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this
A velocity can be negative based on your coordinate system. Is it possible to have a negative speed? Why/why not?
Jill sets out from her home to deliver flyers for her yard sale, traveling due east (+x) along her street lined with houses. After going 500 m she runs out of flyers and has to retrace her steps back to her house to get more. After picking up more flyers, she sets out again on the same path, continuing where she left off, and ends up 1000 m from her house. At this point she turns back toward her house, heading west (-x). After 1750 m she stops to get ice cream (Draw pictures to help with your calculations.) What is Jill’s total displacement to the point where she stops to get ice cream? What is Jill’s total distance traveled? please show work.. thank you
A runner, jogging along a straight-line path, starts at a position 60.0 m east of a milestone marker and heads west. After a short time interval he is 15.7 m west of the mile marker. Choose east to be the positive x-direction. What is the runner’s displacement from his starting point? Enter a positive value if the displacement is toward east of the milestone and a negative value if the displacement is toward west of the milestone.
Kindly help me solve the following problems. Show details and illustrations. Thank you! A car travelling north at 60 mph and a truck travelling east at 45 mph leave an intersection at the same time. At what rate is the distance between them changing 2 hours later?
Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
Solve the given problem by a graphical method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car. You are driving at a constant speed of 45.0 m/s when you pass a trooper on a motorcycle hidden behind a billboard. One second after your car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch you, accelerating at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2. How long does it take the trooper to overtake your car?
