ment, angle, and direction
relative to its original position?

Answer:

The displacement of the ant, R = 29.15 cm

The angle of the resultant displacement with its original position is, θ = 30° 57'

The direction of the displacement is towards the northeast.  

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement towards east, d₁ = 30 cm

The displacement towards north, d₂ = 25 cm

The displacement towards  west, d₃ = 15 cm

The total displacement towards east,

                                       d₄ = d₁ - d₃

                                           = 30 - 15

                                           = 15 cm

The total displacement of ant is given by the resultant displacement,

                            R = √(d₂² + d₄² + 2· d₂ d₄ CosФ)

Where Ф is the angle between the vectors, d₂ & d₄

                                                Ф = 90°

Therefore,

                               R = √(d₂² + d₄²)

Substituting in the above equation,

                               R = √(25² + 15²)

                                  = 29.15 cm

Hence, the displacement of the ant, R = 29.15 cm

The angle of the resultant displacement with its original position is,

                                θ = tan⁻¹ (d₄ / d₂)

                                   = tan⁻¹ (15 / 25)

                                   = tan⁻¹ 0.6

                                   = 30° 57'

Hence, the angle of the resultant displacement the its original position is, θ = 30° 57'

The direction of the displacement is towards the northeast.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The velocity when the ball hits the ground is obtained using v2. 2 = v1. 2 + 2 g Dy with v1=0 and Dy=h. Thus solving for v2 yields 17.1 m/s v2 = 2 g h =.

1. I drop a penny from the top of the tower at the front of Fort Collins High School and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground
Svetradugi [14.3K]
You have three known variables:

Acceleration - 9.8m/s^2
Time - 1.85s
Initial Velocity - 0m/s

For the first part of your question:

v = u + at

v = (0)+(9.8)(1.1)

v = 10.78 m/s  v=11 m/s (2 significant figures)

For the second part of your question:

v=u+at

v=(0)+(9.8)(1.85)
v=18.13 m/s



This still needs to be converted to m/h:

18.13m/s = 18.13\times 3600 metres/h=65628  metres/hour

65628 metres/hour = 65628\div1600 mi/h = 40.7925 mi/h

= 41 mi/hr (2 significant figures)

What changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds?
lapo4ka [179]

Nitrogen fixing bacteria changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds.

<h2>What is nitrogen fixation?</h2>

Atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrogen oxides by the action of lightning, which helps its incorporation into the soil.

<h3>Characteristics of Nitrogen fixing bacteria</h3>

  • Nitrogen is fixed by these bacteria and other prokaryotes through various metabolic processes, which convert it into different usable compounds, such as ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4+).

  • These microorganisms can be found in soil and water, or as plant symbionts.

Therefore, we can conclude that nitrogen fixing bacteria fix nitrogen from the air, that is, they originate soluble compounds by plants, such as ammonia.
