The first step is to represent the vectors shown in the image in Cartesian coordinates.

For the vector C we have a magnitude of 4.8 and an angle 22 ° with the axis -y (direction j)

To write this vector in Cartesian coordinates we must find its component in x (address i) and in the y axis.

x = 4.8sin(22)i\\\\y = 4.8cos(22)(-j)

So:

C = 4.8sin(22) i + 4.8cos(22)(-j)\\\\C = 1.798\ i - 4.450\ j

For Vector B we have a magnitude of 5.6 and an angle of 33 with the -x axis (-i direction)

So:

x = 5.6cos(33)(-i)\\\\y = 5.6 sin(33)(-j)

So:

B = 5.6cos(33)(-i) + 5.6sin(33)(-j)\\\\B = -4.696\ i - 3.05\ j

Finally the sum of B + C is made component by component in the following way:

F = (-4.696 +1.798)i + (-4.450 - 3.05)j\\\\F = -2.898\ i - 7.5\ j

Finally the magnitude of f is:

|F| = \sqrt{(-2,898)^2 + (-7.5)^2}

| F | = 8.04

When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass, they're known as
garik1379 [7]
D. Binary Stars

Well, galaxies are not stars at all rather they are collection of stars, nebulae, globular clusters and stuff like this.
Meteoroids are something entirely different.
Constellations are the pattern of stars.
So, "Binary Stars" is the Right One.

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5kg object on the moon will weigh
shutvik [7]

Answer:

8.1 N/49 N=0.1653  which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.

Explanation:

On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2}, the weight of the 5 kg object will be: weight_M=m*g_M = 5 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} =8.1 N

Where the answer is in Newtons (N) since all quantities are given in the SI system.

On Earth, on the other hand, the weight of the object is:

weight_E=m*g_E= 5 kg* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 49N

Therefore the object's weight on the Moon compared to that on Earth will be:

8.1N/49N=0.1653

That is, 16.53% of the weight the object has on Earth.
