Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

Astronomy can best be described as a/an
Alchen [17]
<span>Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Astronomy can best be described as a/an" is "study of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere."</span>

What is the frequency of a photon of emr with a wavelength of 2.55x10-3m?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz

Explanation:

The equation used to find frequency is:

f = c / w

In this form, "f" represents the frequency (Hz), "c" represents the speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s), and "w" represents the wavelength (m).

Since you have been given the value of the constant (c) and wavelength, you can substitute these values into the equation to find frequency.

f = c / w                                                      <---- Formula

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / w                                 <---- Plug 3.0 x 10⁸ in "c"

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.55 x 10⁻³ m)            <---- Plug 2.55 x 10⁻³ in "w"

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz                                         <---- Divide

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}

now,

H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}

H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}

now, equating both the equations

\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}

\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}

   v₂² = 31061.79

   v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s
