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>

2. Three blocks, A,B and C of mass 2kg. 3kg. 5kg respectively kept side by side with one another are accelerated at 2m/s2 across
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Total mass of combination = 2+3+5 = 10kg.

Acceleration produced = 2m/s^2

hence force =( total mass × acceleration)= (2×10)= 20 N.

Net force on 3kg block = acceleration × mass = (2 × 2 )= 4 N

applied force on 2 kg block = 20N

Force between 2 kg and 3 kg block = (20-4) = 16N. ans

Net force on 3 kg block = 3 × 2 =6N.

Applied force on 3 kg block due to 2 kg block = 16N.

hence, force between 3 kg and 5 kg block = (16-6) = 10N .

answers:-

(a) 20 N

(b) 16N

(c) 10 N

Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
