Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

Answer:

180.4 m

Explanation:

The package in relation to the point where it was released falls a certain distance that is calculated by applying the horizontal motion formulas , as the horizontal speed of the plane and the height above the ground are known, the time that It takes the package to reach its destination and then the horizontal distance (x) is calculated from where it was dropped, as follows:    

$V_{ox}=v_x = 40 \ m/s$

   h = 100 m  

    x =?

     Height formula h:

     $h=g \times \frac{t^2}{2}$

      Time t is cleared:

     $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

      $t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100}{9.8}}$

      t = 4.51 sec

 Horizontal distance formula x:

       $x=V_x \times t$

        x = 40 m / sec x 4.51 sec

        x = 180.4 m

What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 89 cm from a 27 μC charge, in units of N/C?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

306500 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of an electric field around a single charge is calculated with this equation:

E(r) = \frac{1}{4 \pi *\epsilon 0} \frac{q}{r^2}

With ε0 = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/(N*m^2)

Then:

E(0.89) = \frac{1}{4 \pi *8.85*10^-12} \frac{27*10^-6}{0.89^2}

E(0.89) = 306500 N/C

A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

d =  380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅    or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d =  380 feet

Please help don't for get to show work
emmasim [6.3K]
-- Bob covered a distance of (32m + 45m) = 77 meters.

-- His displacement is the straight-line distance and direction
from his starting point to his ending point.

The straight-line distance is

D = √(32² + 45²)
D = √(1,024 + 2,025)
D = √3,049 = 55.22 meters

The direction is the angle whose tangent is (32/45) south of east.

tan⁻¹(32/45) = tan⁻¹(0.7111...) = 35.42° south of east.
