Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.

Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 16.6 and is at an angle of 50.5∘ counterclockwise from the +x‑axis. Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude

natka813 [3]

Answer:

For vector u, x component = 10.558 and y component =12.808

unit vector = 0.636 i+ 0.7716 j

For vector v, x component = 23.6316 and y component = -6.464

unit vector = 0.9645 i-0.2638 j

Explanation:

Let the vector u has magnitude 16.6

u makes an angle of 50.5° from x axis

So $u_x=ucos\Theta =16.6\times cos50.5=10.558$

Vertical component $u_y=usin\Theta =16.6\times sin50.5=12.808$

So vector u will be u = 10.558 i+12.808 j

Unit vector $u=\frac{10.558i+12.808j}{\sqrt{10.558^2+12.808^2}}=0.636i+0.7716j$

Now in second case let vector v has a magnitude of 24.5

Making an angle with -15.3° from x axis

So horizontal component $v_x=vcos\Theta =24.5\times cos(-15.3)=23.6316$

Vertical component $v_y=vsin\Theta =24.5\times sin(-15.3)=-6.464$

So vector v will be 23.6316 i - 6.464 j

Unit vector of v $=\frac{23.6316i-6.464}{\sqrt{23.6316^2+6.464^2}}=0.9645i-0.2638j$

If the pH of a solution decrease's, is the solution getting more acidic or lees acidic

enyata [817]

Answer:

The solution becomes more acidic.

Explanation:

As the pH of a solution decreases, the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] increases. Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and a lower pH.

I hope this helped. :)
