Answer:

The east component of the helicopter's displacement is 125 km.

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement is, $S=250\ km$

The direction of displacement is 60° south of east.

The direction is shown in the figure below. From the figure, the horizontal component of the displacement vector is the east component.

Thus, the east component of displacement is given as:

$S_{x}=S\cos 60\°\\S_x=250\times \frac{1}{2}=125\ km$

Hence, the east component of the helicopter's displacement is 125 km.

The half-life equation $m=m_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^n$ in which n is equal to the number of half-lives that have passed can be altered to solve for n.

$n = \frac{log(\frac{m}{m_{0}} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})}$

$\frac{log(\frac{.25}{1} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})} = 2$

Then, the number of half-lives that passed can be multiplied by the length of a half-life to find the total time.

2 * 5700 = 11400 yr

Answer:

When an object changes speed (increases/decreases) it results in acceleration/de acceleration, its velocity also changes.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.An object can accelerate when speed increases, decreases or direction changes. All these instances involves a change in velocity.Velocity is a vector quantity thus it has magnitude and the direction.Acceleration due to change in direction is centripetal acceleration.The expression for finding acceleration is;

a=change in velocity/change in time

a=Δv/Δt in m/s²
