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

A 2.0 m tall person is standing in front of a flat vertical mirror. What minimum height must the mirror have if the person is to
dangina [55]

Answer:

100cm

Explanation:

Since the eyes are 6 cm below the top of her head, the point of incidence of the ray must be

200cm-3cm=197cm

Since the eyes are 194 cm from her feet, the point of incidence of this ray must be

194cm/2=97cm

So the lower edge of the mirror must be 97 cm from the ground and the vertical dimension of the mirror must be 197 cm - 97 cm = 100 cm, which is half the height of the person.

A wall clock has a second hand 22.0 cmcm long. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tut
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tip of the second hand moves on a circular path having radius equal to .22 m . Redial acceleration is given by the expression

ω²R where ω is angular velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

angular velocity of second hand = 2π / T where T is time period of circular motion . For second hand it is 60 s.

ω = 2π / T

= 2π / 60

= .1047

angular acceleration =  .1047² x .22

= 2.41 x 10⁻³ rad / s² .

A bicyclist is traveling at +25m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2. How fast is he traveling after 5 seconds
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

+5m/s

Explanation:

When doing the math we figure out that e is going to be slowing down at -4m/s² for 5 seconds. In total he is slowing down -20m/s which we take from the total speed of +25m/s to get his current new speed.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The center of the Milky Way most likely contains a supermassive black hole.

Explanation:

Because it is  an eleptical galaxy, it has a little rotation to it but not enough to flatten out so the center will contain a supermassive black hole.
