KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the displacement will be converted into vector, considering east as x axis and north as y axis.

5.3 km north

D = 5.3 j

8.3 km at 50 degree north of east

D₁= 8.3 cos 50 i + 8.3 sin 50 j.

= 5.33 i + 6.36 j

Let D₂ be the displacement which when added to D₁ gives the required displacement D

D₁ + D₂ = D

5.33 i + 6.36 j + D₂ = 5.3 j

D₂ = 5.3 j - 5.33i - 6.36j

= - 5.33i - 1.06 j

magnitude of D₂

D₂²= 5.33² + 1.06²

D₂ = 5.43 km

Angle θ

Tanθ = 1.06 / 5.33

= 0.1988

θ =11.25 ° south of due west.

Stephanie serves a volleyball from a height of 0.80 m and gives it an initial velocity of +7.2 m/s straight up. how high will th
Papessa [141]
<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>

Answer:

  n = 2.0686

Explanation:

When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is

        n = so tea

 let's calculate

        n = tan 64.2

        n = 2.0686
