Atrain at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west for 37.0 min. what are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to east) of its average velocity during this trip?

Magnitude of avg velocity,

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min =

Angle,

Time taken in east of due North direction, t' = 29 min =  

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min =  

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

Displacement in   east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

Now, the overall displacement,

(a) Now, average velocity, is given:

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

(b) angle can be calculated as:

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
