Answer:

17.00 N

Explanation:

Given that the x-component of a vector is 17, and the angle between the vector and the x-axis is 46 degrees

The magnitude of the vector will be calculated by first resolving the vector into x component and y component.

X - component

17cos46 = 11.809

Y component

17sin46 = 12.229

We will find the resultant vector by using pythagorean theorem

R = sqrt ( X^2 + Y^2 )

R = sqrt ( 11.809^2 + 12.229^2 )

R = sqrt ( 288.995 )

R = 16.999

R = 17.00 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the vector is 17 .00N

Answer:

24.47

Explanation:

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse = x-component/vector magnitude, so cos46° = 17/ vector magnitude. the vector magnitude is, therefore, 24.47

An alarm clock has a resistance of 14,000 ohms and is plugged into a 120-volt outlet. How much power does the clock use?
yan [13]

Power used by the clock=1.03 W

Explanation:

resistance= 14000 ohm

voltage=120 V

The formula for the power is given by

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

P=(120)²/14000

P=1.03 W

What component of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave?
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

There are two components of a longitudinal sound wave which are compression and rarefaction. Similarly, there are two components of the transverse wave, the crest, and trough.

The crest of a wave is defined as the part that has a maximum value of displacement while the trough is defined as the part which corresponds to minimum displacement.

While compression is that space where the particles are close together while the rarefaction is that space where the particles are far apart from each other.

So, the refraction or the rarefied part of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
