Answer 1

1.

length of pole will be

using pythagoras theoram

L^2 = H^2 + D^2

L = sqrt (13.4^2 + 9.54^2)

L = 16.45 m

2.

Again using pythagoras

D^2 = south^2 + west^2

D = sqrt (2.25^2 +3.15^2)

D = 3.871 m

3.

average velocty = displacement/total time

displacement = final position - initial position = 0 m

average velocity = 0/T = 0 m/sec

4.

v^2 = u^2 +2*a*s

a = 9.81 m/sec^2

s = 15 m

u = 0 m/sec

v = sqrt (u^2 + 2*a*s)

v = sqrt (0^2 + 2*9.81*15)

v = 17.15 m/sec
