The correct choice is:

a) Quantities described by both magnitude and direction

In fact, vectors are characterized by a magnitude and a direction. An example of vector quantity is velocity: the velocity of an object consists of a magnitude (which corresponds to the speed of the object) and a direction.

In a World Cup soccer match, Juan is running due north toward the goal with a speed of 7.60 m/s relative to the ground. A teamma

spayn [35]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_{bj} = 11.03 m/s$

Part b)

$\theta = 4.57 degree$ East of South

Explanation:

Part a)

Velocity of Juan is given as

$v_1 = 7.60 m/s \hat j$

velocity of the ball is given as

$v_2 = 12.9(cos31.4 \hat i + sin31.4\hat j)$

now we have

$v_2 = 11\hat i + 6.72\hat j$

Part a)

We need to find velocity of ball with respect to Juan

so it is given as

$v_{bJ} = \vec v_b - \vec v_j$

$v_{bj} = 11\hat i + 6.72 \hat j - 7.6\hat j$

$v_{bj} = 11\hat i - 0.88\hat j$

magnitude of the speed is given as

$v_{bj} = \sqrt{11^2 + 0.88^2}$

$v_{bj} = 11.03 m/s$

Part b)

direction of velocity of the ball

$tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-0.88}{11}$

$\theta = 4.57 degree$ East of South

A 9.0 kg bowling ball races down the lane at 15 m/s before striking a bowling pin (at rest) with a mass of 0.85 kg. If the 0.85

artcher [175]

Answer:

$v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The system ball-pin is modelled by the Principle of Moment Conservation:

$(9\,kg)\cdot (15\,\frac{m}{s} ) + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (0\frac{m}{s} ) = (9\,kg)\cdot v + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (45\,\frac{m}{s} )$

The velocity of the bowling ball after the collision is:

$v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}$

A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.

fgiga [73]

The vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s

<h3>How to determine the vertical velocity</h3>

Using the formula:

Vertical velocity component , Vy = V * sin(α)

Where

V = initial velocity = 36. 6 m/s

α = angle of projectile = 29°

Substitute into the formula

Vy = 36. 6 * sin ( 29°)

Vy = 36. 6 * 0. 4848

Vy = 17. 74 m/s

Thus, the vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s
