Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

If Earth did not rotate then the side of Earth which is nearer to the Sun will be the warmest. As a result, there will be presence of more warm air.

This air will then rise and move towards the poles, that is, colder regions which are far away from Sun.

Thus, we can conclude that if earth did not rotate then air would rise and move toward the poles at the equator.

Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.

A climber pulls herself 8 meters upwards with a force of 150 Newtons. If it takes her 16 seconds to cover the 8 meters, how much

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

P = 75 W

Explanation:

given,

Distance, L = 8 m

Force,F = 150 N

Time, t = 16 s

Work by the climber

Work done = Force x displacement

W = F. L

W = 150 x 8

W = 1200 J

We know,

$Power =\dfrac{Work\ done}{time}$

$P =\dfrac{1200}{16}$

P = 75 W

Hence, Power climber is using to climb is equal to 75 W.

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax

kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its x-component is

$F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its x-component is

$F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N$

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

$F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N$

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its y-component is

$F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its y-component is

$F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N$

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

$F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N$

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

Where in this problem, we have:

$F_x=-7.14 N$ is the x-component

$F_y=2.70 N$ is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

$F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N$

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E

vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.
