<u>Two or more velocities are added up by</u><u> vector addition method. </u>

Further Explanation:

The velocity is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a unit that required the magnitude as well as the direction for its representation.

The velocity of a body is defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body in a particular direction. Since the velocity consists of the magnitude and the direction both, the simple method of addition cannot be applied for its addition.

The vector addition of the velocities comprise of the resultant magnitude of velocity as the angle made by the resultant.

The resultant magnitude of the velocity is given as:

\boxed{{v_r} = \sqrt {v_x^2 + v_y^2} }  

Here, {v_r} is the resultant magnitude and {v_x}\,\& \,{v_y} are the components of velocities in x and y directions.

The angle made by the resultant velocity is given by:

\boxed{\theta  = {{\tan }^{ - 1}}\dfrac{{{v_y}}}{{{v_x}}}}  

Thus, the addition of two or more velocities takes place by the vector addition method.

By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use​
Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t  where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt

Give examples of the one element from the alkaline earth metal group and one from the noble gases group. Include each element at
zhuklara [117]
Alkali metals: left column of your periodic table (not hydrogen, but anything below it). They have one valence electron, which they are happy to share in a reaction.

Halogens: second column from the right of your periodic table. They are one electron short of a full shell, so they are reactive in the opposite way that alkalis are--they want electrons.

Atomic number (number of protons) is the big number on the periodic table square. Hydrogen's is 1.

Atomic mass is a little number down below. For example, Hydrogen's is 1.008.

Neutrons are a tricky subject, because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. You can't generally get this from the atomic mass, because the atomic mass is a weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes. Hydrogen can have 0,1, or 2 neutrons. To answer this, you'd have to choose a particular isotope from the table of isotopes (a completely different chart from the periodic table) which has a certain number of neutrons: n = weight - Z.

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. (The column of the table).

(Thought question) At noon On June 21 will the shadow length of 42 degrees north latitude be shorter or longer than it is on Mar
g100num [7]

Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.
