Answer:

About 175 million years ago.

Explanation:

Approximately 335 million years ago , the scattered landforms on the earth surface assembled to form super-continents also called Pangea . It existed during late Paleozoic and Mesojoic era .It again started breaking away about 175 million years ago to form the present continents. Much of the Pangea was in the southern hemisphere surrounded by super-ocean.

Two forces, F? 1 and F? 2, act at a point, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) F? 1 has a magnitude of 9.20 N and is directed at

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Fx = -8.089 N b. Fy = 3.525 N c. 8.824 N d. 336.45°

Explanation:

Since F₁ = 9.2 N and acts at 57° above the negative axis in the second quadrant, its x-component is -F₁cos57° and its y- component is F₁sin57°

Since F₁ = 5.2 N and acts at 53.7° below the negative axis in the third quadrant, its x-component is -F₂cos53.7° and its y- component is -F₂sin53.7°

Part A

What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

The x component of the resultant force Fx = -F₁cos57° + -F₂cos53.7° = -9.2cos57° + (-5.2cos53.7°) = (-5.011 - 3.078) N = -8.089 N

Part B

What is the y component Fy of the resultant force?

The y component Fy of the resultant force = F₁sin57° + -(F₂sin53.7°) = 9.2sin57° - 5.2sin53.7° = (7.716 - 4.191) N = 3.525 N

Part C

What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?

The magnitude F of the resultant force = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √(-8.089² N + 3.525² N) = √65.432 + 12.426 = √77.858 = 8.824 N

Part D

What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis?

The angle the resultant force makes with the negative x axis is given by

θ = tan⁻¹(Fy/Fx) = tan⁻¹(3.525/-8.089) = tan⁻¹-0.4358 = -23.55°.

To measure it from the negative x axis, we add 360. So, our angle = 360 -23.55 = 336.45°

Here it is an application of Newton's III law

as we know by Newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here as we know that two boys jumps off the boat with different forces

from front side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 45 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 45 N in forward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 45 N

Now similar way we can say

from back side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 60 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 60 N in backward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 60 N

So here net force due to both jump on the boat is given by

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 60 - 45$

$F_{net} = 15 N$

so boat will have net force F = 15 N in forward direction due to both jumps

How much work is done on a 75 newton bowling ball when you carry it horizontally across a 10 meter room

svlad2 [7]

F = force applied to hold the weight of the bowling ball = weight of the bowling ball = 75 N

d = distance through which the bowling ball is moved horizontally = 10 meter

θ = angle between the force in vertically upward direction and displacement in horizontal direction = 90

W = work done on the bowling ball

work done on the bowling ball is given as

W = F d Cosθ

inserting the values

W = (75) (10) Cos90

W = (75) (10) (0)

W = 0 J

Galileo held that measurements of time were _____ and that measurements of distance were ______. absolute; relative

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

the correct answer is option A

The given blanks in the question will be filled with Absolute and relative receptively.

time is absolute means the numerical representation of time example 12:00 pm is absolute time.

Measurement of distance is relative. A relative distance is one which is represented with the reference of some other place, it is not an exact value.
