Answer: A. New, high-tech materials are used to make prosthetic limbs for people who need them

Explanation:

Engineering is an immensely important science to us as humans for through its development of tools, machines, engines and structures, human lives have been made better in just about every field.

One of these fields is the medical field. In the past people who lost limbs could say good bye to a normal life or at least a semblance of one but now, due to advancements in Engineering, high-tech materials can now be used to make prosthetic limbs for people who need them.

Points A (-5,6), B (2,-2), and C (-6,-3) are placed in three different quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. Convert each

AURORKA [14]

Answer: A ( $\sqrt{61}$ ,309.8°)

B (2 $\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

C ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Explanation: To transform rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates use:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ and $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

For point A:

$r=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{61}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{-5})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.2)$

$\theta=-50.2$ °

Point A is in the II quadrant, so we substract the angle for 360° since it is in degrees:

$\theta=360-50.2$

$\theta=$ 309.8°

Polar coordinates for point A is ( $\sqrt{61}$ , 309.8°)

For point B:

$r=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{8}$

$r=2\sqrt{2}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=-45$ °

Point B is in IV quadrant, so:

$\theta=360-45$

$\theta=$ 315°

Polar coordinates for point B is ( $2\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

For point C:

$r=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{45}$

$r=3\sqrt{5}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-6} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.5)$

$\theta=$ 26.56°

Polar coordinates for point C is ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

A 5 kg object slows from +6 m/s to +2 m/s. What is the impulse?

Liula [17]

Impulse on the object: -20 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is a vector quantity equal to the product between the force exerted on the object and the time interval during which the force is applied.

The impulse exerted on an object is also equal to its change in momentum. Mathematically,

$I=\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where:

m is the mass of the object

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 5 kg

u = +6 m/s

v = +2 m/s

Therefore, its impulse is:

$I=(5)(+2-(+6))=-20 kg m/s$

The negative sign means the direction of the impulse is opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the energy of a wave and the wave's amplitude?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

High energy waves have high amplitudes

Explanation:

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. ... The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy

A motorist is traveling at 25m/s. He is 100 m from a stop light when he sees it turns yellow. His reaction time, before stepping

inessss [21]

Answer

given,

speed of motorist = 25 m/s

distance = 100 m

time to apply break = 0.5 s

a) distance traveled during the reaction time

D = s x t

D = 25 x 0.5

D = 12.5 m

b) the velocity of the motorist at the end of the reaction time is equal to 0 m/s

c) using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v = 0 m/s

u = 25 m/s

0² = 25² + 2 x a x 100

$a =- \dfrac{625}{200}$

a = -3.125 m/s²
