Answer:

Option B. 8.1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 71°

Hypothenus = 25

Adjacent = x

Thus, we can obtain the x component of the vector by using the cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos θ = Adjacent /Hypothenus

Cos 71 = x/25

Cross multiply

x = 25 × Cos 71

x = 25 × 0.3256

x = 8.1

Therefore, the x component of the vector is 8.1

A car weighs 15,000 N, and its tires are inflated to a pressure of 190 kPa.How large is the area of the car's tires that are in

Elan Coil [88]

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface divided by the area of the surface. Therefore, from the given values, we can easily calculate the area by dividing the force to the pressure. We do as follows:

Area = F / P
Area = 15000 / 190000
Area = 0.0789 m^2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What is the energy stored, in units of nanoJoules, on a 14.8 nF capacitor when the voltage applied across the capacitor is 7.2 V

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

383.6 nJ

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:

$E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage applied

In this problem, we have

C = 14.8 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor

V = 7.2 V is the voltage

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(14.8 nF)(7.2 V)^2=383.6 nJ$

A 0.11 kg bullet traveling at speed hits a 18.3 kg block of wood and stays in the wood. The block with the bullet imbedded in it

arlik [135]

Explanation:

The energy of the system before the collision must equal the energy after the collision.

After the collision the bullet and the block have a total mass of 18.41 kg and they move at a speed of 8.8 m/s. The kinetic energy after the collision is

$\frac{18.41 kg (8.8 m/s)^2}{2} = 713 J$

Before the collision only the bullet has kinetic energy.

So we can now determine the speed of the bullet using

$\frac{0.11kg (v^2)}{2} = 713 J\\v = 114 m/s$
