An open system can take in and out matter and energy, a closed system takes in and out only energy, and an isolated system does not take in or out energy or matter. In this case it doesn't take out matter, so it should be a closed system.

Given vectors D (3.00 m, 315 degrees wrt x-axis) and E (4.50 m, 53.0 degrees wrt x-axis), find the resultant R= D + E. (a) Write

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )

Magnitude of R = 5.049 m

Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

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

where $| \vec{A} |$ its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

$\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )$

$\vec{D}= ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )$

and

$\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )$

$\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )$

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

$\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )$

$\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )$

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}$

$|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m$

To find the direction, we can use

$\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})$

$\theta = arctan(0.304)$

$\theta = 16\°54'33''$

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2$

Here m is the mass of the baseball

Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.

When you are using a crowbar to lift a large rock, you are working agents the force called

TEA [102]

When you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, you are working against the force called

$\boxed {\bf Gravity}$

$\bf Explanation:$
Gravity on Earth is what gives weight to all objects, it's defined as all things that have mass or energy are gravitated towards each other. Therefore when you're using a crowbar to lift a large rock, the weight is caused by gravity.

I hope this helps you!

When you hear an ambulance siren, it alternates between high and low tones, depending on the frequency of sound waves. this is c

dangina [55]

Frequency of a sound wave is called the pitch. Higher frequencies have a higher pitch and lower frequencies have the opposite. When an ambulance travels by a listener, the frequencies are oscillating rapidly and causing the shrill, loud sounds that emanate from the sirens.

What is an neutral atom?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.
