The answer to the question would be the second choice: <span>The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number. It can be based upon in a Cartesian coordinate system wherein the coordinate is located in the second quadrant. </span>

Answer:

The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number.

Explanation:

For this problem, we take the standard Cartesian axis, so that:

- along the vertical axis, the north direction is positive, and the south direction is negative

- along the horizontal axis, the east direction is positive, and the west direction is negative

The boat travels in a direction which is 25° west of north. This means that its vertical component is in the north direction, while the horizontal component is in the west direction. Since north = positive and west = negative, the correct option is

The west component is a negative number, and the north component is a positive number.

Answer:

direction

Explanation:

because particles surround the bell, so when the bell vibrates, it causes particles surrounding it to vibrate back and forth vigorously. as these particles vibrate they collide with the neighbouring particles, passing on the energy.

hope this is what you are asking, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it.

2. A slide. Instead of throwing down an item, It uses gravitational potential energy make an object "move" down the slide.

3.A screw. It's reducing the force by twisting the screw out of something instead of pulling it out. (Sorry about my bad grammar).

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou
Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}

Putting the values, we get :

v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
