Calcular el módulo del vector resultante de dos vectores fuerza de 9 [N] y 12 [N] concurrentes en un punto o, cuyas direcciones
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) 20.29N

b) 19.43N

c) 15N

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the resultant vectors you first calculate the components of the vector for the angle in between them, next, you sum the x and y component, and finally, you calculate the magnitude.

In all these calculations you can asume that one of the vectors coincides with the x-axis.

a)

F_R=(9cos(30\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(30\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(19.79N)\hat{i}+(4.5N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(19.79N)^2+(4.5N)^2}=20.29N

b)

F_R=(9cos(45\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(45\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(18.36N)\hat{i}+(6.36N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(18.36N)^2+(6.36N)^2}=19.43N

c)

F_R=(9cos(90\°)+12)\hat{i}+(9sin(90\°))\hat{j}\\\\F_R=(12N)\hat{i}+(9N)\hat{j}\\\\|F_R|=\sqrt{(12N)^2+(9N)^2}=15N

Guys please help me out I’ll give extra points
zvonat [6]

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

An atomic nucleus is composed of A) protons. B) protons and neutrons. C) protons and electrons. D) protons, neutrons, and electr
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

B) protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom and represent most of the 'mass' of the atom, that's their count that determine the 'mass' of an atom (like 12 for Carbon).

The electrons rotate around the nucleus and have a negligible mass.
