Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth orbits places it directly between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon's surface is round.

a child is stationary on a swing. The child is given a push by a parent and the child starts swinging
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

you havent given the full question

but im guessing momentum

momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity or the impetus gained by a moving object.

Explanation:

as the child is pushed, it gathers momentum as its weight allows it be pushed forward, and the velocity is the speed driven by the amount of force the parent pushes on the child whilst they are swinging. The momentum is the result of this action

the equation that links these factors together are

p = mv

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

hope i got it right ._.

Vector A has y-component Ay= +15.0 m . A makes an angle of 32.0 counterclockwise from the +y-axis. What is the x component of A?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x-component=-9.3 m

Magnitude of A=17.7m

Explanation:

We are given that

A_y=+15 m

\theta=32^{\circ}

We have to find the x-component of A and magnitude of A.

According to question

A_y=\mid A\mid cos\theta

Substitute the values then we get

15=\mid A\mid cos32

\mid A\mid =\frac{15}{cos32}=\frac{15}{0.848}

\mid A\mid=17.7m

tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}

tan32=\frac{A_x}{A_y}=\frac{A_x}{15}

0.62\times 15=A_x

A_x=9.3

The value of x-component of A is negative because the vector A lie  in second quadrant.

Hence, the x- component of A=-9.3 m
