I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .

Let the four horizontal compass directions north, east, south, and west be represented by units vectors n^, e^, s^, and w^, resp
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

c = e > b = d > a

Explanation:

Given vectors are all unit vectors, therefore they have a magnitude of 1

<h3>Let a, b be two vectors and magnitude of cross product of these two vectors is (magnitude of a) × (magnitude of b) × (sine of angle between these two vectors)</h3>

As all are unit vectors their magnitude is 1 and therefore in this case the cross product between any two vectors depends on the sine of angle between those two vectors

In option a as both the vectors are same, the angle between them will be zero and sin0° will also be 0

In option b angle between those two vectors is 135° and sin135° is 1 ÷ √2

In option c angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

In option d angle between those two vectors is 45° and sin45° is 1 ÷ √2

In option e angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

So by comparison of magnitudes of cross products in each option, the order will be  c = e > b = d > a

A dog is chasing a cat towards a tree. The cat has a 10-yard lead and runs at 6 yards per second. The dog runs at a speed of 8 y
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer : Cat will reach tree first.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Total distance between dog and tree is 30 yards. The cat has 10 yards lead. So, the distance between cat and tree is 20 yards.

Speed of cat  is 6 Yards/ sec.

Speed of dog is 8 Yards/sec.

speed of cat is, S_c=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ cat}{time\ taken}

6\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{20\ Yards}{t_c}

t_c=3.33\ sec

Now, speed of dog is, S_d=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ dog}{time\ taken}

8\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{30\ yards}{t_d \ sec}

t_d=3.75\ sec

It is clear that, cat is taking less time as compared with dog. So, the cat will reach tree first.
