The resultant vector is 5.2 cm at a direction of 12⁰ west of north.

<h3>Resultant of the two vectors</h3>

The resultant of the two vectors is calculated as follows;

R = a² + b² - 2ab cos(θ)

where;

  • θ is the angle between the two vectors =  45° + (90 - 57) = 78⁰
  • a is the first vector
  • b is the second vector

R² = (3.7)² + (4.5)² - (2 x 3.7 x 4.5) cos(78)

R² = 27.02

R = 5.2 cm

<h3>Direction of the vector</h3>

θ = 90 - 78⁰

θ = 12⁰

Thus, the resultant vector is 5.2 cm at a direction of 12⁰ west of north.

Does the densoty of an object change if you add more of it because i did an expirement that proved that the density does change
Marysya12 [62]
No the density does not change. Density is a ratio D=m/v no matter how much of a substance you have its mass will be proportional.
When doing density labs sometimes you might get different answers due to errors that are unavoidable.

What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 54,000 km?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where:

V_{e} is the escape velocity

G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the Universal Gravitational constant

M=5.976(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

R=6371 km=6371000 m is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height h=54000 km=54000000 m over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}

Finally:

V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s

What two factors will make an object stable ​
galben [10]

The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. Racing cars have really low centres of gravity so that they can corner rapidly without turning over.

Increasing the area of the base will also increase the stability of an object, the bigger the area the more stable the object. Rugby players will stand with their feet well apart if they are standing and expect to be tackled.

The viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liqu
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Move slowly and reach bottom later.

Explanation:

Viscosity is termed as the thickness or consistency of any liquid or semi liquid. It is related to the internal friction of the substance.

When several liquids are poured down with equal path lengths then the liquid will high viscosity will reach the bottom latter while one with less viscosity.

The internal friction of the molecules tends to keep them together making its consistency more thick. Thus when it will slope down from a certain height it will take more time to reach down.

Whose atomic theory explains how atoms emit and absorb light
VARVARA [1.3K]
Darwin's atomic theory which states that atoms do not emit or absorb energy so far as they remain in allowable orbits or ground states.It also states that a spectra is produced when an electron moves to a lower energy level thereby releasing energy.
