<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

Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 7.50 mph and walk at a speed of 4.00 mph. They set off together on a route of length 5.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$T_A=0.93hours$

$S_A=5.23mph$

$T_l=0.87hour$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Run speed of Ilya and Anya $S_r=7.50mph$

Walk speed of Ilya and Anya $S_w=4.00mph$

Total distance $T_d=5.00miles$

Anya Walks 1/2d and runs 1/2d

ilya walks 1/2t and runs 1/2d

Generally the distance walked by Ilay k is mathematically given by

Since ilya walks 1/2t and runs 1/2t

Therefore

$\frac{k}{4}=\frac{5-k}{7.5}$

$k=1.7miles$

Therefore llay runing distance is m

$m=5-1.7\\m=3.3mile$

a)Generally the Time walked by Anya $T_A$ is mathematically given by

Anya Walks 1/2d and runs 1/2d

Therefore

$t=\frac{2.5}{4.}$

$t_1=0.6hours$

$t=\frac{2.5}{7.5}$

$t_2=0.33hours$

$T_A=0.6+0.33\\$

$T_A=0.93hours$

b)Generally the average speed of Anya S_A is mathematically given as

$S_A=\frac{Distance}{T_t}$

$S_A=\frac{5.0}{0.93}$

$S_A=5.23mph$

Generally the time taken b y llay $T_l$ is mathematically given by

$T_l=2t$

$T_l=2*(\frac{1.7}{4})$

$T_l=0.87hour$

Suppose certain coins have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 5.805 g5.805 g and a standard deviation of 0.071

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a) $P(5.675$

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

b) $P(5.675< \bar X$

Explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5.805,0.71)$

Where $\mu=5.805$ and $\sigma=0.071$

We are interested on this probability

$P(5.675$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(5.675$

And we can find this probability on this way:

$P(-1.83$

And the expected number would be 260*0.933=242.58 and n =243 rounded up.

3) Part b

If 260 different coins are inserted in the vending machine, what is the probability that the mean falls between the limits of 5.675 g and 5.935.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$P(5.675< \bar X$

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.
