Answer:

R=250 N

α = 38.86⁰

Explanation:

Given that

Force ,F₁ = 150 N (Towards north  )

Force ,F₂ = 200 N ( Towards east )

We know that the angle between north and east direction is 90⁰ .

The resultant force R is given as

R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta\\

We know that

cos 90⁰ =  0

That is why

R=\sqrt{150^2+200^2}\\R=250\ N

Therefore the magnitude of the forces will be 250  N.

The angle  from the horizontal of the resultant force = α

tan\alpha=\dfrac{150}{200}\\tan\alpha=0.75\\\alpha=38.86\ degrees

R=250 N

α = 38.86⁰

puteri [66]

Answer:

15

Explanation:

P=W/T

T=6sec

W=?

F=60N

S=18m

W=F X S. .s indicate displacement

W=60x18

W=108

So p=108 j/6sec

P=15watt

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}

AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

A rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto
sesenic [268]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float=l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h

Density of water=10^3kg/m^3

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g

12.48h\times 1000=410

h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m

1 m=100 cm

0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm
