The speed of an object and the direction in which it moves constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. an ostrich is run

ning at a speed of 14.0 m/s in a direction of 54.0 ° north of west. what is the magnitude of the ostrich's velocity component that is directed (a) due north and (b) due west?

Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>

Choose the sources of gamma rays. Check all that apply.
harina [27]

Answer:

a. Stars all warm objects

c. Some unstable atomic nuclei

Explanation:

Gamma rays are photons of very high energy (beyond 100keV) enough to remove an electron from its orbit.

They have a very short wavelength, less than 5 meters from the peak, and can be produced by nuclear decay, especially in the breasts of massive stars at the end of life.

They were discovered by the French chemist Paul Villard (1860 to 1934).

While X-rays are produced by electronic transitions in general caused by the collision of an electron with an atom at high speed, gamma rays are produced by nuclear transitions.

 Gamma rays produce damage similar to those caused by X-rays or ultraviolet rays (burns, cancer and genetic mutations).

The sources of gamma rays that we observe in the universe come from <u>massive stars (hypernovas) or some warm objects on the space</u> that end their lives by a gravitational collapse that leads to the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, as well as <u>unstable radioactive nuclei </u>that emit radiation gamma to reach its steady state.

What ia difference between screw and inclined plane​
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

An inclined plane makes work easier by breaking an upward or downward movement into smaller increments. Examples of inclined planes include slides, ramps, and hills. A screw is like an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. A screw turns a small rotational force into a larger forward driving force.
