A flare is shot from a snowmobile with an initial velocity of 4.3 m/s at 90*, while the snowmobile is moving at 8.5 m/s at 0.0*.

Determine using both methods, graphical and mathematical, the initial net velocity (magnitude and direction) of the flare. HOW DO I DO THIS??

The driver is tooling along in his snowmobile, pointed north,
at 8.5 m/s.

He's carrying the flares with him, so the flares are also moving north
at 8.5 m/s.

When he fires the flare straight up, it has a vertical velocity of 4.3 m/s
straight up, and a horizontal velocity of 8.5 m/s towards the north.

The magnitude of the net velocity is √(4.3² + 8.5²) .
That's about  9.53 m/s, at some angle between straight up
and straight north.

The angle above horizontal is the angle that has a tangent of  4.3/8.5 .
I'll let you work out the angle.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on planet XX is ...

  g = GM/r² = (6.67·10^-11 × 4·10^22)/(6·10^5)^2

  g ≈ 7.4 m/s²

The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to _____.
Trava [24]
The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to chemical energy. Living organisms like humans and animals could not directly utilize the energy from the sun because of lack in organs that would allow photosynthesis. Humans and animals obtain the energy from the sun from the intake of food. These foods contain chemical energy which is obtained from the solar energy of the sun. Plants use solar energy for photosynthesis which converts the energy into chemical energy. Then, animals and humans eat the plants obtaining the chemical energy which can readily processed by the body as compared to solar energy.

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?
Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.
