Answer:

The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.

Explanation:

Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along  positive y-axis

Given:

The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.

The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.

Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:

Velocity in west direction is, \overrightarrow{v_1}=-120\ \vec{i}

Velocity in north direction is, \overrightarrow{v_2}=120\ \vec{j}

Now, since v_1\ and\ v_2 are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{v_1}|^2+|\overrightarrow{v_2}|^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{(120)^2+(120)^2}\\\\|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=120\sqrt{2} = 169.71\ km/h

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.

So, the direction is given as:

x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|v_2|}{|v_1|})\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{120}{-120})=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-45\ deg(clockwise\ angle\ with\ the\ x-axis)

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.

Why do the golf ball have dimples?
Igoryamba

Answer:

HELLO! I WILL EXPLAIN WHY GOLF BALLS HAVE DIMPLES.

Explanation:

DIMPLES ON A GOLF BALL CREATE A THIN BOUNDARY LAYER OF AIR THAT CLINGS TO THE BALL'S SURFACE. THIS ALLOWS THE AIR TO FOLLOW THE BALL'S SURFACE A LITTLE FARTHER AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE BALL, THEREBY DECREASING THE SIZE OF THE WAKE.

Before Freddy lands on the skateboard it has a certain momentum. After landing, the skateboards momentum
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

remains the same

Explanation:

Momentum refers to the quantity of motion of a body. When any body of mass moves, it possess momentum. Numerically,

Momentum =  mass x velocity

i.e. momentum is the product of the mass x velocity

Momentum of a body is always conserved.

In the context, the skateboard has certain momentum before Freddy lands on it. After Freddy lands, the momentum of skateboard remains the same, there is no change in the momentum.

This is because, here the momentum is conserved. After Freddy lands on the skateboard, the total mass on the skateboard increases and so the velocity decreases making the momentum same before the landing.
