Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Horizontal component, A_x=A\text{Sin}37

A_x=12[\text{Sin}(37)]

     = 7.22 m

Vertical component, A_y=A[\text{Cos}(37)]

    = 9.58 m

Similarly, Horizontal component of vector C,

C_x  = C[Cos(60)]

     = 6[Cos(60)]

     = \frac{6}{2}

     = 3 m

C_y=6[\text{Sin}(60)]

    = 5.20 m

Resultant Horizontal component of the vectors A + C,

R_x=7.22-3=4.22 m

R_y=9.58-5.20 = 4.38 m

Now magnitude of the resultant will be,

From ΔOBC,

R=\sqrt{(R_x)^{2}+(R_y)^2}

   = \sqrt{(4.22)^2+(4.38)^2}

   = \sqrt{17.81+19.18}

   = 6.1 m

Direction of the resultant will be towards vector A.

tan(∠COB) = \frac{\text{CB}}{\text{OB}}

                  = \frac{R_y}{R_x}

                  = \frac{4.38}{4.22}

m∠COB = \text{tan}^{-1}(1.04)

             = 46°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant vector will be 6.1 m and direction will be 46°.

Option (2) will be the answer.

A car with a mass of 850kg is moving at a speed of 72km/h when colliding with a concrete wall until it stops. After the collisio
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

The vehicle is experiencing a large force created by the concrete wall.

Equation

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d

Givens

vf = 0   The car eventually does stop.

vi = 72 km/hr * [ 1000 m/  km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]

vi = 20 meters / second

a = ?

m = 850 kg

Solution

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*d

0 = 20 m/s + 2* 2 *a

-20 m/s = 4a

-20/4 =   a

a = - 5 m/s^2   The minus sign tells you the vehicle is slowing down. It sure should be.

Force = m * a

F = - 850 * (-5)

F =  - 4250 N

The car provides a 4250 N force on it going east to west and a 4250 N force going from west to east provided by the concrete wall.

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. T
IrinaK [193]

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. The component of the longer vector along the line of the shorter is 6.33 .

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The taller component will be 15 . There will be two components taller component , one in the direction of shorter component and other perpendicular to the shorter wavelength .

The component of longer wavelength in the direction of shorter will be  

= 15 cos (theta ) = 15 cos (65) = 6.33

where theta  is the angle between both the vectors

Newton’s first law says that a body will remain in a state of rest, or move in a straight line at a constant speed, unless it is
dangina [55]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

The Hubble is continually attracted to the earth due to the action of gravity. Therefore, it is thanks to gravity that the space telescope is kept in orbit. Without him, the direct motion generated by inertia would take him out of course. Gravity slows it down and keeps it in the curved path of its orbit around the Earth.

What can you say about the relationship between the index of refraction and the wavelength of a color?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

There is a dependency relationship between the refractive index of each substance and the radiation wavelength.

The refractive index in a given medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a color.

For example:

The rays of the red color have a wavelength greater than the rays of the blue color, therefore they have a lower refractive index and consequently a light scattering less than the blue.

Snell's law :

n₂/n₁ = v₁/v₂ =  λ₁ /λ₂

*n: (refractive index)

v: (speed of light propagation)

λ: (wavelength)
