Answer:

The process of finding the magnitude of Fy is called vector resolution.

Explanation:

Given a vector with a magnitude equals to F which forms an angle equals to θ with the x-axis, then it can be decomposed into two smaller vectors (Fx and Fy) as follows:

Fx = F*cosθ (placed on the x-axis)

Fy = F*sinθ (placed on the y-axis)

This process is called vector resolution.

Answer - vector resolution

Any vector suppose f if lies at some angle, then

fy = F x cos or sin (theta)

and fx = F x cos or sin (theta)

Process of finding the value of component of any vector quantity is called Vector Resolution.

The movement of a magnetic pole away from the actual pole

Lunna [17]

The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.

A net force of 24 N is acting on a 4.0-kg object. Find the acceleration in m/s2.

Inessa [10]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:
$\Sigma F = ma$

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.

$a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\\\\a = \frac{24}{4} = \boxed{6 \frac{m}{s^2}}$

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

$s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$ .

Thus, impulse

$= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

From Newton`s second law,

$F =mg$

Therefore, impulse

$= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}$

Given, $m = 7.3 kg$ and $s = 2.0 m$

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse

$= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns$ .

Does every light source emit only one type of light?

blsea [12.9K]

Yes it is possible. Spectrum of emitted light depends upon the chemical composition of the source. and the way of its excitation. a clear example to us is that of sun.

Your body is receiving backround radiation all the tim. Explain

adoni [48]

The uniform microwave radiation remaining from the Big Bang.

So, your body is always having background radiation and that means space!
