A car moves at 18m/s North. What is the x component of the velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Velocity, v = 18 m/s, makes an angle 60 degrees with the horizontal (x-axis).

(horizontal) x-component of velocity, v(x) = v cos (60) = 18 m/s x cos(60) = 9 m/s

If you need to determine the y-component (vertical) of velocity,

(vertical) y-component of velocity, v(y) = v sin (60) = 18 m/s x sin(60) = 15.6 m/s

Hope it helps

You wish to cook some pasta and so take some water and heat it on a stove. If you use 2000 grams of water with an initial temper
Ronch [10]

Answer:

the stove energy went into heating water is 837.2 kJ.

Explanation:

given,

mass of water = 2000 grams

initial temperature = 0° C

Final temperature = 100° C

specific heat of water (c) = 4.186 joule/gram

energy = m c Δ T                            

            = 2000 × 4.186 × (100° - 0°)

            = 837200 J                          

             = 837.2 kJ            

hence, the stove energy went into heating water is 837.2 kJ.

A car is moving South at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. The force of the
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 750 N

Explanation:

The net force is 1200 - 450 = 750 N

As we are told the speed is constant, then this force must be increasing the car's potential energy by climbing a hill.

F = mgsinθ

If we knew the car mass, we could find the hill slope angle.

If we knew the hill slope angle, we could find the car mass.

Compare and contrast electric motors and generators.
Marrrta [24]
Electric motors require electricity to move the motor parts and do work (like an electric fan).

Elecgric generators actually burn diesel fuel to spin a motor around and around and around to GENERATE, or MAKE, electricity that you can then use to power your fans and lights in your house.

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

A machine is rolling a metal cylinder under pressure. The radius of the cylinder is decreasing at a constant rate of 0.05 inches
Luden [163]
Yes, the volume of the cylinder will remain constant. As the radius decreases, the height will increase to make sure that the volume is kept the same.
We have been given a value of dr/dt and are required to find dh/dt
Because the volume is constant, we can plug it into the formula for the volume of the cylinder and rearrange it to make h the subject:
128 = πr²h
h = 128/πr²
Now we differentiate both sides:
dh/dr = -256/πr³
Applying the chain rule:
dh/dt = dh/dr x dr/dt
dh/dt = (-256/πr³) x -0.05
dh/dt = 64/5πr³; substituting the value of r
dh/dt = 64/5π(1.5)³
dh/dt = 1.21 in/sec
