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

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Final speed of the bullet is 228.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of wooden block and the bullet

so we can say momentum of the system is conserved here

so here we can say

$P_i = P_f$

$m_1v_1 = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$4.67\times 10^{-3}(613) = 4.67 \times 10^{-3}v_{1f} + (0.078)(23)$

so we will have

$2.86 = 4.67\times 10^{-3} v_{1f} + 1.794$

$v_{1f} = 228.3 m/s$

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(OD) Velocity

Explanation:

Here, the rider is moving with a steady speed (5 m/s) towards south. In this example, we have magnitude as well as direction. Since velocity is a vector quantity, thus we can determine the velocity of the rider.

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.

noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$ ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.
