Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction=55.52\°

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance d between two points:

d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}} (1)

d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}} (2)

d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}} (3)

d=34.45 m (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}  (5)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}  (6)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}  (7)

Finding \theta:

\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})  (8)

\theta= 55.52\°  (9) This is the direction of the vector

1. A baseball is thrown vertically at 16.7 m/s. What is the maimum height of the baseball?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

14.2 m

Explanation:

Using conservation of energy:

PE at top = KE at bottom

mgh = ½ mv²

h = v² / (2g)

h = (16.7 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 14.2 m

Using kinematics:

Given:

v₀ = 16.7 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (16.7 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 14.2 m

A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.

Two identical asteroids travel side by side while touching one another. If the asteroids are composed of homogeneous pure iron a
victus00 [196]

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

  1. F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where:

  • F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
  • M => Mass of asteroid 1
  • m => Mass of asteroid 2
  • R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

  • M=m

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

  • R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

  • m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

  • \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

  • F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2}  }{36}

Now let´s plug in the values we know:

  1. F = 1 lb     mutual gravitational attraction force
  2. G = 6.67(10)^{-11}     gravitational constant
  3. ρ_{iron} =491.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} }

  • 1= \frac{6.67(10)^{-11} \pi ^{2} r^{4} (491.5)^{2}}{36}

Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter

  • d=2\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{7.07(10)^{-5} } }

Result is d = 21.81 Feet

A sphere of metal has a mass of 1431 g and a diameter of 5.80 cm. What is the density of metal in g/cm3
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

You will need t find the volume of the sphere

 4/3 pi r^3    divide into the mass

1431 / (4/3 pi (5.8)^3) = 14 gm /cm^3
