Answer:

8.5 ohms

Explanation:

from ohms law

V=IR

120=14.1R

divide both sides by 14.1

120/14.1=14.1R/14.1

R=8.5ohms

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

Vector A → has magnitude 8.78 m at 37.0 ∘ from the + x axis. Vector B → has magnitude 8.26 m at 135.0 ∘ from the + x axis. Vecto

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j)

Magnitude of R = 9.09 m

Explanation:

Let î and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axis respectively.

Vector A --> magnitude 8.78 m, direction 37.0° from the +x-axis

Let the x and y components of this vector be Aₓ and Aᵧ

A = (Aₓî + Aᵧj) m

The components given magnitude and direction from the +x-axis are calculated as

Aₓ = A cos θ and Aᵧ = A sin θ

Aₓ = (8.78 cos 37°) = 7.01 m

Aᵧ = (8.78 sin 37°) = 5.28 m

A = (7.01î + 5.28j) m

Vector B has magnitude 8.26 m and direction 135° from the +x-axis

B = (Bₓî + Bᵧj) m

Bₓ = (8.26 cos 135°) = - 5.84 m

Bᵧ = (8.26 sin 135°) = 5.84 m

B = (-5.84î + 5.84j) m

Vector C has magnitude 5.65 m and direction 210° from the +x-axis

C = (Cₓî + Cᵧj) m

Cₓ = (5.65 cos 210°) = - 4.89 m

Cᵧ = (5.65 sin 210°) = - 2.83 m

C = (- 4.89î - 2.83j) m

The resultant force is a vector sum of all the forces. Let the resultant force be R

R = (Rₓî + Rᵧj) m

R = A + B + C = (7.01î + 5.28j) + (-5.84î + 5.84j) + (- 4.89î - 2.83j)

Summing the î and j components seperately,

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j) m

To get its magnitude,

Magnitude of R = √(Rₓ² + Rᵧ²) = √((-3.72)² + (8.29)²) = 9.09 m

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50

horsena [70]

It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

When might it be harder to stop a vehicle moving at 30 km/h than one moving at 60 km/h?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

when the momentum of the vehicle moving at 30 km/h is higher than the one from the vehicle moving at 60 km/h

Explanation:

It's much harder to stop a freight truck moving at 30 km/h than a hot wheels car moving at 60 km/h.

Aparticlewhosemassis2.0kgmovesinthexyplanewithaconstantspeedof3.0m/s along the direction r = i + j . What is its angular momentu

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}$

Explanation:

In order to calculate the angular momentum of the particle you use the following formula:

$\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X\ \vec{p}$ (1)

r is the position vector respect to the point (0 , 5.0), that is:

r = 0m i + 5.0m j (2)

p is the linear momentum vector and it is given by:

$\vec{p}=m\vec{v}=(2.0kg)(3.0m/s)(\hat{i+\hat{j}})=6\frac{kgm}{s}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$ (3)

the direction of p comes from the fat that the particle is moving along the i + j direction.

Then, you use the results of (2) and (3) in the equation (1) and solve for L:

$\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}$

The angular momentum is -30 kgm^2/s ^k
