Answer:

The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is $7\sin\theta$

Explanation:

Given that,

The lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree.

We know that,

The horizontal component is

$x=\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$y=\sin\theta$

If the lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree then,

We need to find the components

Using given data

The horizontal component of lizard is

$x=0$

The vertical component is

$y=7\sin\theta$

Hence, The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is $7\sin\theta$

In which situation does the law of conservation of momentum apply?

zvonat [6]

As per Newton's II law we know that

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

rate of change in momentum is Net outside force on the object

now here we will have if net outside force will be zero

then we can say

$F = 0 = \frac{dP}{dt}$

so from above equation we can say

$dP = 0$

and hence we have

$P = constant$

so the correct answer will be

<em>3.) in the absence of outside forces</em>

love history [14]

Answer:

The height of the tower will be 35.714 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure $P=350kPa=350\times 10^3Pa$

Density of water $\rho =1000kg/m^3$

We have to find the height of the tower h

We know that gauge pressure is given by $P=\rho gh$

$350\times 10^3=100 0\times 9.8\times h$

$h=35.714m$

So the height of the tower will be 35.714 m

In a binary ionic compound, the electrons are

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Transferred from one atom to another

Explanation:

In a binary ionic compound, the electrons are transferred from one atom to another, thus forming positive and negative charges on the respective atoms involved, and thereby creating electrostatic forces which thus form the ionic bond.

skad [1K]

Answer:

the distance of image from the vertex is 45 cm and the image formed is in the glass.

Explanation:

distance of object, u = - infinity

radius of curvature, R = - 15 cm

refractive index, n = 1.5

Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula

$-\frac{n1}{u}+\frac{n2}{v}=\frac{n2- n1}{R}\\\\-\frac{1}{\infty }+\frac{1.5}{v}=\frac{1.5-1}{-15}\\\\v=45 cm$

The image is in the glass.
