Answer:

the Earth magnetic field in that region is about 89.09 \muT

Explanation:

If the magnetic field has an inclination of 79^o, and its horizontal component is 17 microTesla, then we can calculate the magnitude of the full magnetic field via the cosine function. Notice that the decomposition of a vector in horizontal and perpendicular components originates a right angle triangle where the vector is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(79^o)=\frac{17}{B} \\B=\frac{17}{cos(79^o)}\,\mu T  \\B=89.09\,\,\mu T

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

                    = 1.87

F = \frac{1.87}{0.0036}

 = 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in
Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k  

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
