Answer:

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement of hiker south of west, R = 9.4 miles

The angle formed south of west, Ф = 60°

The vector components along,

                   the west axis is

                                      A = R cosФ

                                       A = 9.4 x cos 60

                                       A = 4.7 miles

                                        A = 5 miles

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

                    the south axis is

                                      B = R sinФ

                                       B = 9.4 sin 60

                                        B = 8.14 miles

                                         B = 8 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

If a car is traveling forward at 15 m/s, how fast will it be going in 1.2 seconds if the acceleration is
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

v = v⁰ (its original speed) + a (negative acceleration) X t² (time)

v = 15 - 10 x 1.2 = 15 - 12 = 3 (it's slowing down)

In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of +40 C near the top of the cloud and -40 C near the bottom of the cloud. The
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Electric force, F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, q_1=+40\ C

Electric charge 2, q_2=-40\ C

Distance, d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

k is the electrostatic constant

F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}

F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is -3.59\times 10^6\ N.

A 40 kg person sits on top of a 400 kg rock. What is the person’s weight? 390 N
algol13

The weight of the person is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 40(9.81)

W = 390N
