Answer:

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is: 23.70 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is: 3.13 m/s

Explanation:

You have to apply trigonometric identities for a right triangle (because the ramp can be seen as a right triangle where the speed is the hypotenuse), in order to obtain the components of the velocity vector.

The identities are:

Cosα= \frac{CA}{H}

Senα= \frac{CO}{H}

Where H is the hypotenuse, α is the angle, CA is the adjacent cathetus and CO is the opposite cathetus

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vx represent it.

In this case, CA=Vx, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vx=(24)Cos(7.5)

Vx=23.79 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vy represent it.

In this case, CO=Vy, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vy=(24)Sen(7.5)

Vy=3.13 m/s

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.

Explanation:

<em>The height of the pendulum is measured from the lowest point it reaches (point 3). </em>

At 1, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is zero (because it is not moving), and it has maximum potential energy.

At 2, the pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy, and how much of each it has depends on its height—smaller the height greater the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

At 3, the height is zero; therefore, the pendulum has no potential energy, and has maximum kinetic energy.

At 4, the pendulum again gains potential energy as it climbs back up,  Again how much of each forms of energy it has depends on its height.

At 5, the maximum height is reached again; therefore, the pendulum has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy.

Hope this helps :)

A rug sits in a sunny place on the floor for a long time. Kiara thinks that light from the sun can cause the rug's color to fade
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.
