A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 2.00 km east, then 3.50 km southeast, and then an additional d

istance in an unknown direction. Her final position is 5.80 km directly east of the starting point (Fig. P1.72). Find the magnitude and direction of the third leg of the journey. Draw the vectoraddition diagram and show that it is in qualitative agreement with Your numerical solution.

Answer:

Third displacement = 2.81 m which is 61.70° north of east.

Explanation:

   Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

  She sails 2 km east, displacement = 2 i

  Then 3.50 km southeast, means 3.5 km 315⁰ to + ve X axis

  Displacement = 3.5 cos 315 i + 3.5 sin 315 = 2.47 i - 2.47 j

  Let third displacement be x i + y j

  We have final displacement = 5.80 km east = 5.80 i

  From summation we have total displacement = 2 i + 2.47 i - 2.47 j + x i + y j

                                                                           = (4.47+x) i + (y - 2.47) j

  Comparing both , we have 4.47+x = 5.80

                                                        x = 1.33

                                                 y-2.47=0

                                                         y = 2.47 j

  So third displacement = 1.33 i + 2.47 j

  Magnitude of third displacement = \sqrt{1.33^2+2.47^2} =2.81m

  θ = tan⁻¹(2.47/1.33) = 61.70°

  So third displacement = 2.81 m which is 61.70° north of east.

A squirrel drops an acorn onto the head of an unsuspecting dog. The acorn falls 4.0\,\text m4.0m4, point, 0, start text, m, end
kirill [66]

Answer:

0.903 seconds

Explanation:

To find how many seconds the acorn fall, we can use the formula for distance travelled with constant acceleration:

D = Vo*t + a*t^2/2,

where D is the distance travelled, Vo is the inicial speed, t is the time and a is the acceleration.

In our problem:

Vo = 0,

a = g = 9.81 m/s2,

D = 4 meters.

So, we can solve the equation to find the time:

4 = 0*t +9.81*t^2/2

4.905*t^2 = 4

t^2 = 4/4.905 = 0.8155

t =   0.903 seconds

PLZ HELPPPPP!! i'll give brainliest
kati45 [8]

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻
