Answer: 24.4 degrees to the vertical

Explanation:

Vertical component of raindrop speed = 11m/s

Horizontal component of wind = 5m/s

In this case, all we have to do is to use trigonometric ratios of angles to sides as in a triangle

Doing this, we see that

tan (theta) = 5/11

(Where theta is the angle made with the vertical by the rain after impact)

Tan being opposite/adjacent

Arc sin (5/11) gives us 24.44 degrees to the vertical

N76 [4]

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity.

For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth so we would weigh less on the moon. Our Mass and volume always stay the same but our weight could change.

On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the
mina [271]

Answer:

<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.

A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is  T  = 4326.7 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total mass is  m  =  200 \  kg

    The  radius is r = 5 \  m

     The  density of air is  \rho_a  =  1.225 \ kg/m^3

Generally the upward  force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

        F_N  =   T  + mg

=>     (\rho_a  *  V  *  g ) =   T  + mg

=>   T  =  (\rho_a  * V  *  g   )  - mg

Here V is the volume  of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

      V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * \pi r^3

=>   V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * 3.142 *(5)^3

=>   V  = 523.67\  m^3

So

    T  = (1.225 *  523.67*  9.8 ) -  200 *  9.8

   T  = 4326.7 \  N

Answer:

read the explanation

Explanation:

Purchased electricity is fed into our TVs and is converted to light and sound.

Electricity goes into an electric bulb and is converted to visible light and heat energy.

Chemical Energy is converted to Electrical Energy (stove)

Chemical food energy is converted to Energy to Work (person running).
