Answer:

b. 87N

Explanation:

Start by looking at the picture I attached you. As you can see in the diagram of the left, the weight=mg has one component in the x-axis and another in the y-axis. The normal force is directly over the y-axis, so we dont have to worry about the forces on the x-axis. Now, take a look at the diagram of the right, using it, we will be able to find the weight over the y-axis with trigonometry identities:

$cos(30)=\frac{mg_y}{mg}$

$mg_y=mg*cos(30)$

Now applying newton's second law:

$\Sigma F_y=ma$

There is no acceleration in this case, so a=0

$\Sigma F_y=0\\mg*cos(30)-N=0$

Solving for N:

$N=mg*cos(30)=100*cos(30)=86.6N\approx87N$

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Rate at which current flows is measured in amperes

Explanation:

The rate of flow of electrons constitutes the current. The electrons flow from lower electric potential to higher electric potential. When there is no potential difference then no electron will flow. The direction of the current and the electron are in opposite direction.

The direction of electron from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The direction of current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.The current is measured in ampere.

The expression for current and the charge is as;

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

Here, q is the charge, t is the time taken and I is the current.

According to the given problem, Jodi made a list about electric current to help her study for a test. He described that electrons move from areas of low to high electric potential, voltage causes current to flow and movement of electrons is continuous in a current.

But he did error. It should be "rate at which charges flow" instead of rate at which current flow.

Therefore, the option (4) is correct.

The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters

N76 [4]

Answer:

The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event

A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$

The vertical component is calculated by:

$y=r\sin\theta$

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

$y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)$

$y=11.22\ m$

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters
