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>

NISA [10]

Answer:

A)  Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

B) air is the medium in which the wave is transported,

Explanation:

Part A.

A sound wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the molecules that forms in a material medium, they can be solid, liquid or gases, therefore the wave propagates in the same direction as the oscillation of the particles.

The most correct answer is:

* Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

Part b

air is the medium in which the wave is transported, otherwise it cannot propagate

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit
nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the
Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s
