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

Physics

Marina86 [1]4 years ago

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

Why is Jupiter so much larger than Earth? Check all that apply.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Just to give you a sense of scale, Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the rest of the planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter's diameter is 11.2 times larger than Earth. Jupiter is a very gaseous planet. The temperature of the early solar system explains why the inner planets are rocky and the outer ones are gaseous. As the gases coalesced to form a protosun, the temperature in the solar system rose.

A body is thrown vertically upwards.Its velocity keeps on decreasing. What happens to its kinetic energy when it reaches the max
Nikolay [14]
The kinetic energy will rise once the body comes back down. As it goes up, the potential energy increases while the kinetic energy decreases. Once the body is at its maximum height, the potential energy is at it’s highest. When it starts falling, it will gain kinetic energy and lose potential energy.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Climate change, where there is an increase in the average temperature, due to continuous human activities. These activities increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and it has a cold climate. The climate changed over time as human activities such as coal mining contributed to greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. Over the years. the variations in weather leading to climate change melt the permafrost (frozen ground below the soil surface) causing ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property.
