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

What is one of the principles of charges in a conductor?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

A conductor allows free charges to move about within it. The electrical forces around a conductor will cause free charges to move around inside the conductor until static equilibrium is reached. Any excess charge will collect along the surface of a conductor. Conductors with sharp corners or points will collect more charge at those points.

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

Which of the following explains how an executive order differs from a law?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Executive Orders state mandatory requirements for the Executive Branch, and have the effect of law. They are issued in relation to a law passed by Congress or based on powers granted to the President in the Constitution and must be consistent with those authorities.

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2
