Ship A is located 4.1 km north and 2.3 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 22 km/h toward the south and Ship B has a vel

ocity of 40 km/h in a direction 38° north of east. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of A relative to B?

Answer:

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

A position is 4km north and 2.5 km east to B

Ship A velocity = 22 km/hr

ship B velocity = 40 km/hr

A velocity wrt to velocity of B

\vec{V_{AB}} =\vec{V_A} - \vec{V_B}

\vec{V_A} = 22 km/hr

\vec{V_B} = 40 cos38\hat{i} + 40sin 38 \hat{j}

                 = 31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j}

putting respective value to get velocity of  A with respect to B

\vec{V_{AB}} = -22 \hat {j} - (31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j})

\vec{V_{AB}} = -31.52\hat{i} - 46.62\hat{j}

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

kupik [55]

Frequency is measured in units of reciprocal time.
Period is measured in units of time.
Phase is a number without units that represents a fraction of a wave.

None of these is measured in meters, so none of them can be the answer.
It must be either amplitude or wavelength.

Amplitude is a quantity that's measured at one or two points in the same wave.
The question is talking about points on consecutive waves.

<em>Wavelength is</em> the only choice left.  That must be it.

Can a compound be separated by physical means?
Julli [10]

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds
