Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

What are the units of the following properties? Enter your answer as a sequence of five letters separated by commas, e.g., A,F,G
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The sequence is A,B,H,B,F

Explanation:

  • The Standard International unit is Kilogram (kg) and the mass of a body can also be expressed in gram (g).
  • Heat is a form of energy and the unit for energy is joule (J), thus the unit of heat is also joule (J).
  • Density is mass per unit volume where the unit of mass is gram (g) and the unit of volume can be taken as milli-liter (mL). Thus g/mL is the unit of density.
  • The unit of energy is joule (J).
  • Molarity is number of solute in mol dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Thus mol/L is the the unit of molarity.

3. the definition of the FREQUENCY of a sound is​
sergiy2304 [10]
Definition: Frequency is the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit of time. Sound moves through a medium such as air or water as waves. It is measured in terms of frequency and amplitude. Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself.

Which of the following temparature is approximately equal to room temperature
Artist 52 [7]

Hello there! :)

\huge\boxed{\text{C. 293K}}

Room temperature is approximately 20°C.

We can automatically eliminate choices B and D since they are not equal to 20°C.

Since some choices use the Kelvin scale, we can convert from Celsius to Kelvin using a simple formula:

K = C° + 273

Find room temperature in degrees <u>Kelvin</u>:

K = 20° + 273

K = 293°

Thus, the correct choice would be <u>C. 293K.</u>

an object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is -30\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object v_i = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object v_f = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration a is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where v_f represents final velocity, v_i represents initial velocity and t is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a=-30\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is -30\ m/s^2 (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.
