The north and west components of this displacement are 9.19 km and -7.71 km respectively.

<h3>North component of the displacement</h3>

The north component of the displacement is calculated as follows;

Dy = D sinθ

Dy = 12 km x sin50

Dy = 9.19 km

<h3>West component of the displacement</h3>

Dx = D x cosθ

Dx = - 12 km x cos(50)

Dx = -7.71 km

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Fb = 941.76 [N]

Explanation:

La fuerza de flotacion se define como el producto de la densidad del liquido por la aceleración gravitacional y por el volumen desplazado

Fb = Ro*g*V

donde:

Fb = fuerza de flotacion [N] (unidades del Newtons)

Ro = densidad del liquido = 1000 [kg/m³]

g = aceleracion gravitacional = 9.81 [m/s²]

V = volumen desplazado = 0.096 [m³]

Reemplazando:

Fb = 1000*9.81*0.096

Fb = 941.76 [N]

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}$

Part b)

$a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}$

Part c)

$a = \frac{mg}{M + m}$

Part d)

$a = 1.35 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

For hanger we know that it will have tension force upwards while it has downwards its weight so we will have

$mg - T = ma$

so we have

$a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}$

Part b)

now for car that is rolling on the floor the net force is given as

$F = Ma$

$T = Ma$

$a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}$

Part c)

now we know that the cart and the hanger both are connected to each other

so they must have same acceleration

so we will have

$T = Ma$

$mg - Ma = ma$

$a = \frac{mg}{M + m}$

Part d)

now we know that

M = 2.40 kg

m = 0.50 kg

so we will have

$a = \frac{0.50(9.81)}{2.40 + 0.50}$

$a = 1.35 m/s^2$
