Question 1163044: 1. A cabinet is pulled across a cemented floor with a rope that makes an angle of 40degrees with the floor. What is the component of the force parallel to the floor if 80-N force is exerted?
2. What is the height in centimeters of a person who is 5 feet 7 inches tall?
3. The wind blows toward 40 degrees with a velocity of 50km/h. What is the vertical component of the wind’s velocity?
4. Ruth walks 5 km North, then 4 km South and finally 3 km East. Find her final displacement.
5. A car travels from rest and attains a speed of 60 m/s in 20 seconds. How far has the car traveled in 20 sec?

.

(2)  To solve problem (2), use the facts  1 foot = 12 inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm.




(5)  The distance "how far"  = ,  where "a" is the acceleration  a =  =  = 3 m/s^2.


     Thus  "how far" =  =  = 3*200 = 600 meters.


     Interesting, that this distance is the same as if you multiply the average speed of 30 m/s by the time 20 seconds


        "how far" =  = 30 m/s * 20 s = 600 meters.


    It is the same as  "how far" = .


    Memorize these formulas and the method of solution (!)


In the future, do not post more than 1 problem / question per post.

2. What is the height in centimeters of a person who is 5 feet 7 inches tall?
It's a conversion.
Look it up.
------------
3. The wind blows toward 40 degrees with a velocity of 50km/h. What is the vertical component of the wind’s velocity?
No vertical info is given.
Winds are North & South, and vertical. No vertical info is given.

4. Ruth walks 5 km North, then 4 km South and finally 3 km East. Find her final displacement.
Use graph paper.

5. A car travels from rest and attains a speed of 60 m/s in 20 seconds. How far has the car traveled in 20 sec?
---
Assuming the acceleration is uniform, its average speed is 30 m/s
30*20 = 600 meters.
We should not have to make assumptions. It should be specified.
