Answer:

a.) magnitude __49.7__ unit(s)

b.) direction __123.6°_  counterclockwise from the +x axis

Explanation:

Let Vector is v

x-component of Vector v = x = -27.5 units   (minus sign indicate that x-component is along the minus x-axis )

y-component of Vector v = y = 41.4 units

Magnitude of v = ?

Direction of v = ?

To find the magnitude of the vector

                                     v =\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}  }  

                                     v = \sqrt{-27.5^{2}+41.4^{2} }

                                     v = 49.7 units  

To find direction

                                 θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

                                 θ = tan⁻¹(41.4/-27.5)

                                 θ = -56.4°

This Angle is in the clockwise direction with respect to -x axis.

We need to find Angle counterclockwise from the +x axis.

So,

                                 θ = 180° - 56.4°

                                 θ = 123.6°                

The given vector is in 2nd quadrant

Something is thrown in the air and 5.35 seconds later it lands on something 2.1 meters from the ground. How fast was it thrown u
UNO [17]

Answer:

26.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 2.1 m

t = 5.35 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v₀

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.1 m) = v₀ (5.35 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (5.35 s)²

v₀ = 26.6 m/s

The pressure in an automobile tire is 198 kpa at 300.0 k. at the end of a trip on a hot, sunny day, the pressure has risen to 22
Kamila [148]

We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

T2 = P2 x T1 / P1

T2 = 225 x 300 / 198

<span>T2 = 340.91 K</span>

Describe what happens in a crash according to newton's first law
Nostrana [21]

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. It is the natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain its state of motion. This is often called the law of inertia.

The law of inertia is most commonly experienced when riding in cars and trucks. In fact, the tendency of moving objects to continue in motion is a common cause of a variety of transportation injuries - of both small and large magnitudes. Consider for instance the unfortunate collision of a car with a wall. Upon contact with the wall, an unbalanced force acts upon the car to abruptly decelerate it to rest. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Being strapped tightly to the car, the passengers share the same state of motion as the car. As the car accelerates, the passengers accelerate with it; as the car decelerates, the passengers decelerate with it; and as the car maintains a constant speed, the passengers maintain a constant speed as well.

But what would happen if the passengers were not wearing the seat belt? What motion would the passengers undergo if they failed to use their seat belts and the car were brought to a sudden and abrupt halt by a collision with a wall? Were this scenario to occur, the passengers would no longer share the same state of motion as the car. The use of the seat belt assures that the forces necessary for accelerated and decelerated motion exist. Yet, if the seat belt is not used, the passengers are more likely to maintain its state of motion. The animation below depicts this scenario.

If the car were to abruptly stop and the seat belts were not being worn, then the passengers in motion would continue in motion. Assuming a negligible amount of friction between the passengers and the seats, the passengers would likely be propelled from the car and be hurled into the air. Once they leave the car, the passengers becomes projectiles and continue in projectile-like motion.

A standard biological microscope is required to have a magnification of 200Ã. what is the focal length of the objective?
NISA [10]

Answer:

The focal length of the objective is L/20.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnification of the standard biological microscope, m = 200

Let the magnification of the eyepiece is, m_e=10

Let m_o is the magnification of objective lens. The formula of the magnification is given by :

M=m_o\times m_e\\\\200=m_o\times 10\\\\m_o=20

The formula of the magnification is given by :

M=\dfrac{L}{f_o}m_e

L is length of microscope

f_o is focal length of the objective

f_o=\dfrac{Lm_e}{M}\\\\f_o=\dfrac{10L}{200}\\\\f_o=\dfrac{L}{20}

So, the focal length of the objective is L/20.
