A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

Two balls are rolling using the same force. Which law explains why the bowling ball will roll a shorter distance than a soccer b
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Two people carry a heavy object by placing it on a board that is 2.2 meters long. One person lifts with a force of 750 N at one
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

This means that the center of mass is locates 0.72m from the 750N force

Explanation:

Since the board is 2.2m long, that will be the length of the board.

Let the center of mass of the body be hinged at the center using a knife edge as shown in the diagram attached.

Let x be the distance from the 750N force to the knife edge and the distance from the 360N force to the knife edge be 2.2-x

Using the principle of moment which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anti clockwise moment.

Moment = force × perpendicular distance

For ACW moment;

Moment = 750×x = 750x

For the CW moment;

Moment = 360 × (2.2-x)

Moment = 792-360x

Equating ACW moment to the clockwise moment we have;

750x = 792-360x

750x+360x = 792

1110x = 792

x = 792/1110

x = 0.72m

This means that the center of mass is locates 0.72m from the 750N force
