Answer: Hello mate!

lets define the north as the y-axis and east as the x-axis.

Using the notation (x,y) we can define the initial position of the car as (0,0)

then the car travells 13 mi east, so now the position is (13,0)

then the car travels Y miles to the north, so the position now is (13, Y)

and we know that the final position is 25° degrees north of east of the initial position. This angle says that the distance traveled to the north is less than 13 mi because this angle is closer to the x-axis (or east in this case).

This angle is measured from east to north, then the adjacent cathetus is on the x-axis, in this case, 13mi

And we want to find the distance Y, so we can use the tangent:

Tan(25°) = Y/13  

tan(25°)*13 mi = Y = 6.06 mi.

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1. 2 m/s? 3. 8 kg • m/s 4. 2 kg • m/s 6. 0 kg • m/s 6. 2 kg â
nevsk [136]

The momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

<h3> MOMENTUM:</h3>

Momentum of a substance is the product of its mass and velocity. That is;

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

According to this question, an object has a mass of 5kg and velocity of 1.2m/s. The momentum is calculated thus:

Momentum = 5kg × 1.2m/s

Momentum = 6kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

Explain the difference between general intelligence and specific intelligence.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

General intelligence refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.

Specific intelligence refers to a person's aptitude in individual 'modalities' or abilities rather than the more general understanding of intelligence.

Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it
stich3 [128]

Answer:

a. 6.69m/s

b. y=4.48m

c. t=1.43secs

Explanation:

Data given, acceleration,a=35m/s^2

distance covered,d=64cm=0.64m,

a. to determine the speed, we use the equation of motion

initial velocity,u=0m/s

if we substitute values we arrive at

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\v^{2}=0+2*35*0.64\\v^{2}=44.8m/s\\v=\sqrt{44.8}\\ v=6.69m/s\\

b. After taking the shot,the acceleration value is due to gravity i.e a=9.81m/s^2

and the distance becomes (y-2.2) above the ground. When it reaches the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero and the initial velocity becomes 6.69m/s.

Hence we can write the equation above again

v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\

if we substitute values we have

v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\0=6.69^{2}-2*9.81(y-2.2)\\y-2.2=\frac{44.76}{19.62} \\y=2.28+2.2\\y=4.48m

c. the time it takes to arrive at 1.83m is obtain by using the equation below

1.83-2.2=6.69t-\frac{1}{2} *9.81t^{2}\\4.9t^{2}-6.69t-0.37\\using \\t= \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}\\ where \\a=4.9, b=-6.69, c=-0.37

if we insert the values, we solve for t , hence t=1.43secs

A parallel-plate air capacitor of area A = 15.0 cm2 and plate separation d = 3.00 mm is charged by a battery to a voltage 58.0 V
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The additional charge that will flow from the battery onto the positive plate is 0.924 nC

Explanation:

Given;

Area of the capacitor, A = 15.0 cm² = 15 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Separation distance, d = 3.00 mm = 3 x 10⁻³ m²

voltage of the capacitor, V = 58.0 V

dielectric constant, k = 4.60

Initial Capacitance of the capacitor before the addition of dielectric material:

C = \frac{\epsilon _oA}{d} = \frac{8.85*10^{-12}*15*10^{-4}}{3*10^{-3}} = 4.425 *10^{-12} F

Initial charge across the parallel plates:

Q₁ = CV

Q = 4.425 x 10⁻¹² x 58 = 2.567 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Capacitance of the capacitor after the addition of dielectric material:

Cequ. = Ck

Cequ. = 4.425 x 10⁻¹²F x 4.6 = 20.355 x 10⁻¹² F

Final charge across the parallel plates:

Q₂ = Cequ. x V

Q₂ =  20.355 x 10⁻¹² x 58 = 11.806 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Additional charge = Q₂ - Q₁

                              = 11.806 x 10⁻¹⁰ C - 2.567 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

                              = 9.239 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

                              = 0.924 nC

Therefore, the additional charge that will flow from the battery onto the positive plate is 0.924 nC

An 11.0kg object is thrown vertically into the air with an applied force of 145N. What is the
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

13.18m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion

Force = Mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 11kg

Force = 145N

Required

acceleration

From the formula

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Acceleration = 145/11

Acceleration = 13.18m/s²

Hence the initial acceleration of the object is 13.18m/s²
