<h2>Answer:</h2><h2></h2>

The x- and y- components of vector A are -12.99cm and 7.5cm respectively.

The x- and y- components of vector B are 7.71m and 9.20m respectively.

The x- and y- components of vector C are -21.45m/s and -18.00m/s respectively.

The x- and y- components of vector D are 22.94m/s² and -16.06m/s² respectively.

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Given an arbitrary vector M (written in bold face), of magnitude M (not written in bold face), which makes an angle θ to the positive x axis, the x-component of M (written as M_{X}) is given by;

M_{X} = M cos θ

And its y-component (written as M_{Y}) is given by;

M_{Y} = M sin θ

Therefore, taking due east as positive x axis, for the vector:

<em>(i) A = 15.0 cm; the vector is 30.00 north of west; </em>

the x-component of A (written as A_{X}) is given by;

A_{X} = A cos θ            --------------------(i)

And its y-component (written as A_{Y}) is given by;

A_{Y} = A sin θ              --------------------(ii)

<em>Where;</em>

A = 15.0cm

θ = 30.00 north of west =  180° - 30.00° [measured due east] = 150°

<em>Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;</em>

A_{X} = 15.0 cos 150° =  15.0 x -0.8660 = -12.99cm      

A_{Y} = 15.0 sin 150° = 15.0 x 0.5 = 7.5cm

Therefore, the x- and y- components of vector A are -12.99cm and 7.5cm respectively.

<em>(ii) B = 12.0 m; the vector is 55.00 north of east; </em>

the x-component of B (written as B_{X}) is given by;

B_{X} = B cos θ            --------------------(iii)

And its y-component (written as B_{Y}) is given by;

B_{Y} = B sin θ              --------------------(iv)

<em>Where;</em>

B = 12.0m

θ = 55.0 north of east =  50° [measured due east]

<em>Substitute these values into equations (iii) and (iv) as follows;</em>

B_{X} = 12.0 cos 50° =  12.0 x 0.6428 = 7.71m      

B_{Y} = 12.0 sin 50° = 12.0 x 0.7660 = 9.20m

Therefore, the x- and y- components of vector B are 7.71m and 9.20m respectively.

<em>(iii) C = 28.0 m/s; the vector is 40.00 south of west; </em>

the x-component of C (written as C_{X}) is given by;

C_{X} = B cos θ            --------------------(v)

And its y-component (written as C_{Y}) is given by;

C_{Y} = B sin θ              --------------------(vi)

<em>Where;</em>

C = 28.0m/s

θ = 40.00 south of west =  180° + 40.00° [measured due east] = 220°

<em>Substitute these values into equations (v) and (vi) as follows;</em>

C_{X} = 28.0 cos 220° =  28.0 x -0.7660 = -21.45m/s

C_{Y} = 28.0 sin 220° = 28.0 x -0.6428 = -18.00m/s

Therefore, the x- and y- components of vector C are -21.45m/s and -18.00m/s respectively.

<em>(iv) D = 55.5 m/s²; the vector is 35.00 south of east; </em>

the x-component of D (written as D_{X}) is given by;

D_{X} = D cos θ            --------------------(vii)

And its y-component (written as D_{Y}) is given by;

D_{Y} = D sin θ              --------------------(viii)

<em>Where;</em>

D = 55.5m/s²

θ = 35.00 south of east =  360° - 35.00° [measured due east] = 325°

<em>Substitute these values into equations (vii) and (viii) as follows;</em>

D_{X} = 55.5 cos 325° =  28.0 x 0.8192 = 22.94m/s²

D_{Y} = 55.5 sin 325° = 28.0 x -0.5736= -16.06m/s²

Therefore, the x- and y- components of vector D are 22.94m/s² and -16.06m/s² respectively.

Answer:

A = 15.0 cm; the vector is 30.00 north of west; = 15 cm N30W

Y - component = 7.5cm and X - component = -12.99 cm

B = 12.0 m; the vector is 55.00 north of east; = 12.0 m N55E

Y - component = 9.83 m and X - component = 6.88 m

C = 28.0 m/s; the vector is 40.00 south of west; = 28.0 m/s S40W

Y - component =  - 17.998 m/s and X - component = - 21.448 m/s

D = 55.5 m/s2; the vector is 35.00 south of east; = 55.5 m/s² S35E

Y - component = - 31.835 m/s² and X - component  = 45.466 m/s²

Explanation:

1. A = 15.0 cm; the vector is 30.00 north of west; = 15 cm N30W

Y - component = 15cm × sin30 = 7.5cm

X - component = -15cm × cos30 = -12.99 cm

2. B = 12.0 m; the vector is 55.00 north of east; = 12.0 m N55E

Y - component = 12.0 m × sin55 = 9.83 m

X - component =12.0 m × cos55 = 6.88 m

3. C = 28.0 m/s; the vector is 40.00 south of west; = 28.0 m/s S40W

Y - component = - 28.0 m/s × sin40 = - 17.998 m/s

X - component =  - 28.0 m/s × cos40 = - 21.448 m/s

4. D = 55.5 m/s2; the vector is 35.00 south of east; = 55.5 m/s² S35E

Y - component = - 55.5 m/s² × sin35 = - 31.835 m/s²

X - component = 55.5 m/s² × cos35 = 45.466 m/s²

Se aplican dos fuerzas concurrentes a un objeto de 4N a la derecha y 5N a la izquierda. ¿Hacia donde se movió y con cuanta fuerz
Maksim231197 [3]

The forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

Given the following

Force towards the right = 4N

Force towards the left = 5N

Note that the force acting towards the left is negative, hence the force acting towards the left is -5N

Take the sum of force

Resultant force = -5N + 4N

Resultant force = -1N

This shows that the forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

A trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. When the trombone is producing a 562 Hz tone, what is
tester [92]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of wavelength, which warns that this is equivalent to the relationship between the speed of the air (in this case in through the air) and the frequency of that wave. The air is in standard conditions so we have the relation,

Frequency = f = 562Hz

Speed of sound in air = v = 331m/s

The definition of wavelength is,

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

Replacing,

\lambda = \frac{331m/s}{562Hz}

\lambda = 0.589m

Therefore the wavelength of that tone in air at standard conditions is 0.589m

What color of light must blue light mix with to create white light?
schepotkina [342]
<h2>Answer: a. Yellow </h2>

According to the additive theory of color, when we join the <u>three primary colors of light</u> (Red + Green + Blue) we get White light.

On the other hand we have <u>secondary colors of ligh</u>t that are:

Yellow = Red + Green

Magenta = Blue + Red

Cyan = Blue + Green

Now, if we know that:

Red + Green + Blue = White

And:

Red + Green = Yellow

Then:

<h2>Yellow + Blue = White</h2>

the presence of which magnetic feature best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing c
katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields  best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

  • Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
  • These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
  • Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
  • Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
  • A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.
