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>

Cuales son las diferencias entre el helio y el hidrógeno?
allsm [11]

El helio es más ligero que el aire y a diferencia del hidrógeno no es inflamable, siendo además su poder ascensional un 8 % menor que el de este, por lo que se emplea como gas de relleno en globos y zepelines publicitarios, de investigación atmosférica e incluso para realizar reconocimientos militares.espero ke esto ayude!

<span>Applied Force Direction vector = [0,1,3] force F = j + 4k torque is t = 100 Newton-meters = r x F Wrench is 0.5 meters long on positive side of the y-axis, r = 0.6 = [0,0.6,0] We know torque |t| = |r x F| = |r| x |F| sin theta r x F = |r| x |F| cos theta r x (j + 3k) = |r| x |j + 3k| cos theta => [0,0.6,0] [0,1,3] = 0.6 x squareroot of ((0)^2 + (1)^2 + (3)^2) cos theta => 0.6 = 0.6 x squareroot of (1 + 9) cos theta => cos theta = 1 / squareroot of (10) Calculationg the sin theta, sin theta = squareroot of (1 - (1 / squareroot of (10))^2) = squareroot of (9/10) sin theta = 3 / squareroot of (10) Substituting the values, |T| = |r| x |F| sin theta => 100 = |0.6| x |F| x 3 / squareroot of (10) |F| = (100 x squareroot of (10)) / 1.8 |F| = (1000 / 18) x squareroot of (10) Magnitude of force |F| = 55.55 x squareroot of (10)</span>
