Answer:

c. initial (x and y)

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at a velocity with a launch angle, to solve it, we must first resolve the initial velocity into the x and y components. To do this will mean we have to treat it like a triangle due to the launch angle and the direction of the projectile.

Therefore, we will have to make use of trigonometric ratios which is also known by the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"

Thus, this method resolves the initial x and y velocities.

Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

Kay [80]

Answer:

The true course: $40.29^\circ$ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

$V_w$ = velocity of wind = $30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

$V_p$ = velocity of plane in still air = $100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Assume:

$V_r$ = resultant velocity of the plane

$\theta$ = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

$\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ$

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of $40.29^\circ$ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

$\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h$

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.

The diagram shows a tray of marbles being shaken from side to side. As this happens some of the marbles jump out of the tray.

irakobra [83]

The marbles that are 'more energetic' fall out of the tray, in the same way particles have enough energy to escape and turn into a gas.

Please help me

g100num [7]

Answer:

0.3956

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law of motion says that Force = Mass*Acceleration (f=ma) so to find the force used on the football you multiply it's mass by its acceleration.

0.43*0.92 = 0.3956.

0.4 if you round
