Answer:

1.) answer B

2.) answer D

3.) answer A

Explanation:

In all of these problems, it is essential to draw pictures in order to understand which trigonometric function to use according to the angle that the vector in question forms with the component requested. For all of them try to picture a right angle triangle with the vector as the hypotenuse, and the components as the triangle's shorter sides. Please refer to the three pictures attached as image for this answer a,d notice that the vector quantity known for all cases is represented in red, and the component to find is represented in green.

Problem 1) : the vector velocity makes an angle of 24 degrees with the edge of the table. So picture that vector as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle for which you know the value: 1.8 m/s

So in this case, where you know the angle, the hypotenuse, and need to find the adjacent side to the angle, you use the cosine function as follows:

requested component =1.8 * cos (24) =1.644 \frac{m}{s}

which we round to 1.6 to match answer C).

For problem 2.) wee need to find the component opposite to the given angle in the triangle for which we also know the hypotenuse. So we use the sine function as follows:

requested component =150 * sin(65) = 135.94 m

which we round to 135.9 m to match answer D).

For problem 3.) we need to find the horizontal component to the acceleration which corresponds to the adjacent side to the known angle, so we use the cosine function as follows:

requested component =12 *cos(50) = 7.71 \frac{m}{s^2}

which we round tp 7.7 to match answer A).

A 2kg object initially going 4m/s to the right is later going 8m/s. whats the change in velocity?
Nezavi [6.7K]

The change in velocity is +4 m/s to the right (or -4 m/s to the left).

The object's mass is irrelevant.
