Answer:

63° NE

Explanation:

the direction of a vector is calculated using the formula

tanθ=\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} }

where θ=angle resultant vector makes with the horizontal

vₓ=20m/s

v_{y}=40m/s

tanθ=\frac{40}{20}

tanθ=2

θ=tan⁻¹ 2

θ=63.43°

θ=63° to 2 significant figures

the vectors direction = 63°NE

Since both v_x and v_y are positive, the angle the vector v makes with the positive x axis is given by

\tan^{-1}\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}=\tan^{-1}2\approx63.4^\circ

i.e. 63.4 degrees North of East.

Allison wants to calculate the denisty of a rock. To do this, what tools will she need to measure
fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

Allison can measure the mass of the rock by using a scale. An electronic beam balance will be able to give her the mass of the rock to a fairly accurate degree.

To go about measuring the volume of the rock, an indirect approach has to be adopted since the rock is not regular in shape.  Allison would have to adopt a principle that explains that the volume a solid body displaces when immersed in a pool of liquid, is directly equal to the volume of the solid itself.

This means that if the stone is placed in a beaker of water containing an already measured volume of water, the increase in the volume of the water when the stone is immersed is equivalent to the volume of the stone.

Drivers were tested on various driving exercises before they had been drinking. They were given alcoholic beverages of their cho
Pavel [41]

Answer:

A steady decline in driving ability

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption impairs the functioning of the central nervous system. The impairment can range from mood improvement to unconsciousness. As the blood alcohol level (BAL) rises the impairment gets severe. Driving is a complex task that requires the central nervous system to function properly.

Any impairment to the central nervous system leads to a decline in driving activity.

A 0.55-kg ball, attached to the end of a horizontal cord, is revolved in a circle of radius 1.3 m on a frictionless horizontal s
matrenka [14]
The tension of the cord is the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion:
T=F_c = m  \frac{v^2}{r}
where T is the tension of the cord, F_c is the centripetal force, m=0.55 Kg is the mass of the ball, v its speed and r=1.3 m is the radius of the circle.

The maximum allowed tension is T=75 N, before the cord breaks. Using this value inside the formula, we can find which is the maximum allowed value fot the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{T r}{m} }=  \sqrt{ \frac{(75 N)(1.3 m)}{(0.55 kg)} }=13.3 m/s
