Answer: The magnitude of the kayaker's resultant velocity = 7.23 m/s

and the direction is 49.26° south of west.

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 4.0 m/s 30° south of west.

Final velocity, v = 3.7 m/s 20° west of south °≈ 70° south of west.

Writing in terms of component:

u = -4.0 cos 30 i - 4.0 sin 30 j = -3.46 i -2.0 j

v = -3.7 cos 70 i - 3.7 sin 70 j = -1.26 i - 3.48 j

Resultant velocity = addition of the two velocity vectors

R = (-3.46 i -2.0 j)+(-1.26 i - 3.48 j) = -4.72 i - 5.48 j

Magnitude of the vector = √(-4.72)²+( - 5.48)² = 7.23 m/s

Direction of the resultant velocity vector, θ = tan⁻¹ (-5.48÷ (-4.72)) = 49.26° south of west.

Thus, the magnitude of the kayaker's resultant velocity = 7.23 m/s

and the direction is 49.26° south of west.

What is the speed of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1020 V?
sashaice [31]
<span>a. KE in electron volts is 1020 eV. 
b. KE in Joules is e(1020) = (1.6022E-19)(1020) = 1.634E-16 
c. KE = (1/2)mv^2, so v = sqrt[2*KE/m] = 18.94E6 m/s

note: m is the mass of an electron = 9.109e-31 kg

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North

Which statement correctly defines power?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Power=V\, I which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".
