vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

According to research by several scientists, Saturn's rings aren't solid, as they appear from Earth. They are actually made up of floating chunks of water ice, rocks and dust that range in diferent sizes from specks to enormous, even house-sized pieces that orbit Saturn in a ring pattern.

What are 3 things that can affect gravity?

den301095 [7]

The force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled , the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. Increases , the force of gravity decreases.

Now we’ll use the component method to add two vectors. We will use this technique extensively when we begin to consider how forc

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

Explanation:

Since vector A has magnitude 50 cm and a direction of 30, its x - component is A' = 50cos30 = 43.3 cm and its y - component is A" = 50sin30 = 25.

Also, Since vector B has magnitude 35 cm and a direction of 110, its x - component is A' = 35cos110 = -11.97 cm and its y - component is A" = 35sin110 = 32.89 cm.

So, the vector sum R = A + B

The x-component of the vector sum is R' = A'+ B' = 43.3 cm + (-11.97 cm) = 43.3 cm - 11.97 cm = 31.33 cm

The y-component of the vector sum is R" = A"+ B" = 25 cm + 32.89 cm = 57.89 cm

So, the magnitude of R = √(R'² + R"²)

= √((31.33 cm)² + (57.89 cm)²)

= √(981.5689 cm² + 3,351.2521 cm²)

= √(4,332.821 cm²)

= 65.82 cm

≅ 65.8 cm

The direction of R is Ф = tan⁻¹(R"/R')

= tan⁻¹(57.89 cm/31.33 cm)

= tan⁻¹(1.84775)

= 61.58°

≅ 61.6°

So, the magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

Harry Potter is chasing his nemesis Draco Malfoy during a quidditch match. Initially, Harry is 35m behind Draco, who has just sp

Sophie [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

t = $\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}$

t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

$s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2$

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²
