Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Explanation:

To find the resultant vector, you first calculate x and y components of the two vectors M and N. The components of the vectors are calculated by using cos and sin function.

For M vector you obtain:

M=M_x\hat{i}+M_y\hat{j}\\\\M=15.0cm\ cos(20\°)\hat{i}+15.0cm\ sin(20\°)\hat{j}\\\\M=14.09cm\ \hat{i}+5.13\ \hat{j}

For N vector:

N=N_x\hat{i}+N_y\hat{j}\\\\N=8.0cm\ cos(40\°)\hat{i}+8.0cm\ sin(40\°)\hat{j}\\\\N=6.12cm\ \hat{i}+5.142\ \hat{j}

The resultant vector is the sum of the components of M and N:

F=(M_x+N_x)\hat{i}+(M_y+N_y)\hat{j}\\\\F=(14.09+6.12)cm\ \hat{i}+(5.13+5.142)cm\ \hat{j}\\\\F=20.21cm\ \hat{i}+10.27cm\ \hat{j}

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

|F|=\sqrt{(20.21)^2+(10.27)^2}cm=22.66cm

And the direction of the vector is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.27}{20.21})=29.93\°

hence, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 22.66 cm and it has a direction of 29.33°

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,
mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

<u>Phase transformation among the four forms of matter</u>

<u>Melting</u>

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

<u>Freezing</u>

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

<u>Boiling</u>

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

<u>Evaporation</u>

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

<u>Condensation</u>

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

<u>Sublimation</u>

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

<u>Deposition</u>

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

What comes first the color orange or the fruit orange
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Given the exoticism of the orange fruit, you could be forgiven that the color came first as it naturally occurs independent of the fruit such as in sunsets or leaves in autumn. Orange actually comes from the Old French word for the citrus fruit - 'pomme d'orenge' - according to the Collins dictionary.
