Answer:

  • 59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

<u>1. 18 mph 327º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

  • Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

  • Vector notation:

       15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j

<u>2. 4 mph 60º</u>

  • Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

  • Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

  • Vector notation:

       2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j

<u>3. Addition:</u>

You add the corresponding components:

15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

  • \sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23

<u>4. Direction:</u>

Use the tangent ratio:

  • tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73

Find the inverse:

  • arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>

An object that completes 20 vibrations in 10 seconds has a frequency of
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<em> The object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency</em> is defined as number of oscillation per second ie back and forth swings done in single second.

Here it is given that the object oscillates 20 times in 10 seconds.

So f = \frac{20}{10} = 2Hz

The <em>time period</em> is defined as time taken by the object to complete one full oscillation.

T = \frac{1}{f}

T= \frac{1}{2} =0.5 s

<em>Thus the object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>
