anygoal [31]

Answer:

  117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

  F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

  Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

  cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

  α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.

Mr. Beall paddles his canoe at 8.0 m/s North in a river that flows at 6.0 m/s to the South. What is the magnitude and direction
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.
