<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) -1.030m

(b) -5.301m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given a vector F in the xy plane, of magnitude F and in a direction θ counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x-axis;

The x-component (F_{X}) of vector F is given by;

F_{X} = F cos θ    ---------------------(i)

And;

The y-component (F_{Y}) of vector F is given by;

F_{Y} = F sin θ            -----------------------(ii)

Now to the question;

Let the vector be A

Therefore;

The magnitude of vector A is A = 5.4m

The direction θ of A counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x-axis = 259°

(a) The x-component (A_{X}) of the vector A is therefore given by;

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

Substitute the values of θ and A into equation (iii) as follows;

A_{X} = 5.4 cos 259°

A_{X} = 5.4 x (-0.1908)

A_{X} = -1.030

Therefore, the x-component of the vector is -1.030m

(b) The y-component (A_{Y}) of the vector A is therefore given by;

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

Substitute the values of θ and A into equation (iv) as follows;

A_{Y} = 5.4 sin 259°

A_{Y} = 5.4 x (-0.9816)

A_{Y} = -5.301m

Therefore, the y-component of the vector is -5.301m

Answer:

|Ax| =1.03 m  (directed towards negative x-axis)

|Ay|= 5.30 (directed towards negative y-axis)

Explanation:

Let A is a vector = 5.4 m

θ = 259°

to Find Ax, Ay

Sol:

according the condition it lies in 3rd quadrant

we know that Horizontal Component Ax = A cos θ

Ax = 5.4 Cos 259°

Ax = - 1.03 m

|Ax| =1.03 m  (directed towards negative x-axis)

Now Ay = A sin θ

Ay = 5.4 Sin 259°

Ay = -5.30

|Ay|= 5.30 (directed towards negative y-axis)

What is the direction and speed of an object?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity by definition means speed and direction of an object. This means it has a value and a positive or minus sign indicating direction. Speed is the absolute value of velocity because there is no direction correlated with speed. If you add a direction, it is then called velocity

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.
