Explanation:

1. To graphically add vectors, use the tail-to-tip method.  Draw the first vector (it doesn't matter which), then draw the second vector where the first vector ends.  The resultant vector is from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector.

This graph shows two ways to get the resultant: A + B or B + A.

2. To algebraically add vectors, split each vector into x and y components.

Aₓ = 5.0 cos 45 = 3.5

Aᵧ = 5.0 sin 45 = 3.5

Bₓ = 2.0 cos 180 = -2.0

Bᵧ = 5.0 sin 180 = 0

The components of the resultant vector are the sums of the components of A and B.

Cₓ = 3.5 + -2.0 = 1.5

Cᵧ = 3.5 + 0 = 3.5

The magnitude of the resultant vector is found with Pythagorean theorem, and the direction is found with tangent.

C = √(Cₓ² + Cᵧ²) ≈ 3.9 m/s

θ = atan(Cᵧ / Cₓ) ≈ 67°

How do you find the voltage of a section of a parallel circuit?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.

Hope this helps!

Why might it be helpful to us to measure gravity fluctuations on Earth? What is the most important type of information it gives
Anna [14]
I think it would be helpful to measure gravity so we know how it affects animals and plants and planes and spaceships and cars. I think the most important type of information it gives us is just like making sure people are safe and that there’s nothing we are going on or that the gravity increases at a rate or if it decreases just so we know how to handle it in the future and I think that information would be useful so we don’t die.

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.
