A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

away. The radar antenna is pointing upward at an angle of 58.9° above the ground. Find (a) the x and (b) the y components (in km) of the position vector of the satellite, relative to the antenna.

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

Determine the magnitude of the component of F directed along the axis of AB. Set F = 520 N .
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The component of F along AB is equal to Fcos45

F = 520N

Component along AB = 520cos45

= 367.7N

This is done by rotating the diamonds such that AB is now taken as the x-axis. Then the force F is resolved along AB.

Energy in an ecosystem is first obtained by
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave
Airida [17]
Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.
