Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the figure for a graphic description of the problem. Notice that the x-component of the vector velocity (vx), the y-component (vy) and the vector velocity form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to obtain the magnitude of vx and vy:

We can find vx using the following trigonometric rule of a right triangle:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 15° = vx / 195 m/s

195 m/s · cos 15° = vx

vx = 188 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

To calculate the y-component we will use the following trigonometric rule:

sin α = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 15° = vy / 195 m/s

195 m/s · sin 15° = vy

vy = 50 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.

Calculate the power provided by a 12 volt car battery with a rating of 350 amperes.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option D

4200 W

Explanation:

Power, P is also given as the product of voltage and current, expressed as P=VI

Here, P is power, V is voltage in the xircuit and I is current theough voltage.

Taking 12 V for voltage across and 350A for current across circuit then power will be

P=350*12=4200 W

Therefore, option D is correct.

which has a higher acceleration:a 10kg object acted upon with a net force of 20N or an 18kg object acted on by a net force of 20
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<span>Answer: The acceleration of 10 kg object is greater than that of 18 kg object.

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (A)

Let's find the acceleration for both 10 kg and 18 kg objects!
The net force on both of these masses = F = 20N

(1) Acceleration of 10 kg object
Mass = m = 10 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):
20 = 10 * a
Acceleration = a = 2 m/s^2

(2) Acceleration of 18 kg object
Mass = m = 18 kg
Plug in the values in equation (A):

20 = 18 * a
Acceleration = a = 1.11 m/s^2


2 > 1.11; therefore, 10 kg object has the higher acceleration compared to the acceleration of the 18 kg object.</span>

1. °C= (°F-32) X 5/9. what will be the answer?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

F=9/5(°C)+32

Explanation:

Lets take an example

  • Take 25°C

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{9}{5}(25)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9(5)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 45+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 77°F

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.
