<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

A bullet 2cm log is fired at 420m/s and passes straight a 10cm thick board exiting at 280m/s
Sonbull [250]
Solving for the acceleration of the bullet

acceleration = (vf^2 – vi^2) / 2d

acceleration = ((280 m/s)^2 – (420 m/s)^2) / (2 * 0.12 m)

acceleration = (78400 - 176400) / 0.24 m

acceleration = -98000 / 0.24

acceleration = -408333 m/s^2

Solving for contact time with board

t^2 = 2d/a

t^2 = 2 * 0.12 m / 408333 m/s^2

t^2 = 0.24 m / 408333 m/s^2

t^2 = 5.8775558 x 10^-7

t = 0.0007666 s or 767 microseconds

Which data set has the largest standard deviation
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<em>The data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation</em>

Explanation:

<u>Standard Deviation</u>

It's a number used to show how a set of measurements is spread out from the average value. A low standard deviation means that most of the values are close to the average. A high standard deviation means that the numbers are more spread out.

The formula for the standard deviation is

\displaystyle \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i-\mu)^2}{n}}

Where x_i is the value of each measurement, n is the number of elements in the set, and \mu is the average or media of the values, defined as

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}

Let's analyze each set of data:

A.3,4,3,4,3,4,3

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{3+4+3+4+3+4+3}{7}=3.43

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2}{7}}

\sigma=0.5

B.1,6,3,15,4,12,8

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{1+6+3+15+4+12+8}{7}=7

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(1-7)^2+(6-7)^2+(3-7)^2+(15-7)^2+(4-7)^2+(12-7)^2+(8-7)^2}{7}}

\sigma=4.7

C. 20, 21,23,19,19,20,20

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{20+21+23+19+19+20+20}{7}=20.29

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(20-20.29)^2+(21-20.29)^2+(23-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2}{7}}

\sigma=1.3

D.12,14,13,14,12,13,12

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{12+14+13+14+12+13+12}{7}=12.86

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(12-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2}{7}}

\sigma=0.8

We can see the data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is approximately 10 m/s2 (more precisely, 9.8 m/s2). If you drop a rock from a tall buildin
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

30 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is v_{final}=v_{initial}+at since we know that the initial velocity is 0, and the acceleration is 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \approx 10 \frac{m}{s^2} then we also know that time is 3 seconds it follows that: v_{final}=v_{initial}+at=0+10\frac{m}{s^2}*3s=30\frac{m}{s}
