<span>Since Florence is east, then Florence is 5 miles due west of Paris (30-25). Then, using the Pythagorean theorem with 45 miles as the length and 5 miles as the width, the square root of (45^2+5^2) is 45.277 miles.</span>

The higher the value of the coefficient of friction, the _______ the resistance to sliding.

Tom [10]

<span>The higher the value of the coefficient of friction, the more the resistance to sliding. The answer is the more the resistance to sliding. The</span> coefficient of friction<span> is a measure of how easily one object moves over another object. It is a ratio of: Force to move the object / weight of the object (or Normal Force)</span>

A 0.0427 kg racquet-ball is moving

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mass of the box = 0.9433 kg

Explanation:

Mass of racket-ball $(m_1)$ = 0.00427 kg

Velocity of racket-ball before collision $(v_{1i})$ = 22.3 m/s

Velocity of racket-ball after collision with box $(v_{1f})$ = -11.5 m/s

[Since ball is bouncing back, so velocity is taken negative.]

Velocity of the box before collision $v_{2i}$ = 0 m/s

<em>[Since the box is stationary, so velocity is taken zero]</em>

Velocity of box moving forward after collision $v_{2f}$ = 1.53 m/s

To find the mas of the box $m_2$ .

By law of conservation of momentum we have:

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

This can be written as:

$p_i=p_f$

$m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}$

We can plugin the given value to find $m_2$

$(0.0427\times 22.3)+(m_2\times 0)=(0.0427\times (-11.5))(m_2\times 1.53)$

$0.9522+0=-0.4911+1.53m_2$

Adding both sides by 0.4911

$0.9522+0.4911=-0.4911+0.4911+1.53m_2$

$1.4433=1.53m_2$

Dividing both sides by 1.53.

$\frac{1.4433}{1.53}=\frac{1.53m_2}{1.53}$

$0.9433=m_2$

∴ $m_2=0.9433$ kg

Mass of the box = 0.9433 kg (Answer)

A vector → A has a magnitude of 56.0 m and points in a direction 30.0° below the negative x axis. A second vector, → B , has a m

MissTica

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector $\vec{C}$ is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

$\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

where $| \vec{A} |$ is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

$\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )$

$\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )$

$\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )$

$\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )$

$\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )$

$\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )$

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

$(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)$

So, for our vectors:

$\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )$

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

$|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}$

$|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}$

$|\vec{C}| =107.76 m$

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

kaheart [24]

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.
