Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles α = 41.4° and β

= 27.7° up from the x-axis respectively. if the vector sum a b c = 0, what are the magnitudes of a and b?

The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] =  a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})

Because \vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0, the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
 or
 a + 0.847b = 0                            (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
 or
 a + 1.4228b = 52.926                (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

When a golf club hits a 0.0459 kg ball at rest, it exerts a 2380 N force for 0.00100 s. What is the speed of the ball afterwards
aksik [14]

Answer:

51.85m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 0.0459kg

Force  = 2380N

Time taken  = 0.001s

Unknown:

Speed of the ball afterwards  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion:

   F = m x \frac{v - u}{t}  

F is the force

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

        2380  = 0.0459 x \frac{v- 0}{0.001}  

        0.0459v  = 2.38

                   v = 51.85m/s

Why do deer depend on plants to survive
jarptica [38.1K]
Deer depend on plants to survive because they are herbivores. Herbivores are animals that only eats plants and fruits in order to survive. Deer's meal includes grass and evergreen plants. If grass is unavailable, they eat whatever food like fallen leaves, twigs, bushes and other woody plants.

can someone describe how someone is moving-- have examples of positive velocity negative velocity and acceleration and the perso
Rama09 [41]

Assume the motion when you are in the car or in the school bus to go to the school.


To describe the motion the first thing you need is a point of reference. Assume this is your house.


This should be a description:

  • When you are sitting and the car has not started to move you are at rest.
  • The car starts moving from rest, gaining speed, accelerating. You start to move away from your house, with a positive velocity (from you house to your school) and positive acceleration (velocity increases).
  • The car reaches a limit speed of 40mph, and then moves at constant speed. The motion is uniform, the velocity is constant, positive, since you move in the same direction), and the acceleration is zero.
  • When the car approaches the school, the driver starts to slow down. Then, you speed is lower but yet the velocity is positive, as you are going in the same direction. The acceleration is negative because it is in the opposite direction of the motion.
  • When the car stops, you are again at rest: zero velocity and zero acceleration.
  • In all the path your velocity was positive, constant at times (zero acceleration) and variable at others (accelerating or decelerating).
  • When you comeback home, then you can start to compute negative velocities, as you will be decreasing the distance from your point of reference (your house).

Estimate the volume of a human heart (in mL) using the following measurements/assumptions:_______.
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of aorta = 1.5 cm

cross sectional area = π r²

= 3.14 x 1.5²

= 7.065 cm²

volume of blood flowing out per second out of heart

= a x v , a is cross sectional area , v is velocity of flow

= 7.065 x 11.2

= 79.128 cm³

heart beat per second = 67 / 60

= 1.116666

If V be the volume of heart

1.116666 V = 79.128

V = 70.86 cm³.
