<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

Elenna [48]

Answer:

19320 kg/m³

Explanation:

density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³.

The formula of density is given as,

D = m/v ......................... Equation 1.

Where D = Density of the gold, m = mass of the gold, v = volume of the gold.

Note: From Archimedes's Principle, the piece of gold displace an amount of water that is equal to it's volume.

Amount of water displace = 27.2 - 25 = 2.2 mL.

Given: m = 42.504 g = 0.042504 kg, v = 2.2 mL = (2.2/10⁶) m³ = 0.0000022 m³

Substitute into equation 1

D = 0.042504/0.0000022

D = 19320 kg/m³

Hence the density of the piece of gold = 19320 kg/m³

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c

maria [59]

To solve this problem we will start using the concepts related to the electric field, from there we will find the load exerted on the body. Through this load it will be possible to make a sum of forces in balance to find the load that a human supports. Finally with these values it will be possible to find the repulsive force. We will proceed as follows,

The electric field is

$E= \frac{kQ}{R^2}$

Here,

k = Coulomb's Constant

Q = Charge

R = Distance (At this case from the center of mass of the earth to the surface)

Rearranging to find the charge,

$Q = \frac{ER^2}{k}$

Replacing,

$Q = frac{(150)(6.38*10^6)}{8.99*10^9}$

$Q = 6.79*10^5 C$

Since the electric field is directed towards the center of earth, the charge is negative.

PART A) Once the load is found we can proceed to apply the balance of Forces, for which the electrostatic force must be equivalent to the weight, this in order to satisfy the balance, therefore

$F_w = F_e$

$mg = \frac{kQq}{R^2}$

Replacing,

$(62)(9.8) = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(q)(-6.79*10^5)}{(6.38*10^6)^2}$

Solving for q,

$q = -4.056C$

PART B) Finally using the given distance and the values of the found load we can find the repulsive Force, which is

$F =\frac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$F = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-4.056)^2}{110^2}$

$F = 1.22*10^7N$

PART C) The answer is no. According to the information found, we can conclude that traveling through an electric field is not viable because there is a repulsive force of great magnitude acting on the body.
