Question

A wild pig was chased by the hunters in the jungle at the origin of coordinates at time t₁ = 0. For the time interval from t₁= 0 to t₂ = 12.0 s, the pig's average velocity has x-component -3.8 m/s and y-component 4.9 m/s. At time t₂= 12.0 s,

(a) what are the x- and y-coordinates of the pig?

(b) How far is the pig from the origin?

Answer 1

(a) $x=-3.8\cdot12=-45.6\ (m)$ and $y=4.9\cdot12=58.8\ (m)$ . Answer

(b) $l=\sqrt{45.6^2+58.8^2}=74.4\ (m)$ . Answer
