Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

A_x=Acos\theta       (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop
liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

What is the best description of a mechanical wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.
