You use the Theorem of Pythagoras:
Imagine the Car is driving: when it turns left to drive north This has to be an 90 degree angle:
^
---> |

But the displacement is Always the shortest Line between the start and the end and in This case it is a Line which creates a triangle.
In a triangle With a right angle you can use Pythagoras:
215^2+45^2=c^2
v=√(215^2+45^2)

If vx=9.80 units and vy=-6.40 units, determine the magnitude and direction of v
dexar [7]
The resultant vector can be determined by the component vectors. The component vectors are vector lying along the x and y-axes. The equation for the resultant vector, v is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √[(9.80)² + (-6.40)²]
v = √137 or 11.7 units

What happens to the boiling point of water as you climb higher up a mountain?
Maksim231197 [3]
The higher the pressure, the higher boiling point of water. At lower the pressure, the boiling point of water comes down. So, the lower pressure inreases the boiling resulting more evaporation. As we go higher in altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This results in decreasing the boiling point at higher altitude and increase in boiling of water. In fact, at the sea level ,the the sea water boils at 100 degree C where atmospheric pressre is normal. However , the boiling takes place at a lower temperature at the top of a mountain due to low pressure. In other words the boling is faster at the top of a mountain than that at its foot.

Inez uses hairspray on her hair each morning before going to school. The spray spreads out before reaching her hair partly becau
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m is the distance between the charges

q_1=q_2=q since the charges are identical

F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

Which accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept a constant volume
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

An increase in pressure

Explanation:

The ideal gas law states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

in the equation, n and R are constant. For a gas kept at constant volume, V is constant as well. Therefore, from the formula we see that if the temperature (T) is increase, the pressure (p) must increase as well.
