Answer:

x- component = Fx= 4N

y - component= Fy= 3N

Explanation:

Fx=Fcos∅= 5cos 37= 3.99≅4N

Fy=F sin∅= 5 Sin37= 3.009≅3.01N

the dog pulls the pillow at an angle 37 degrees to the horizontal means it pulls it at an angle 37 degrees with the x- axis.if the line of the force represents the vector F then its horizonatal and vertical components wil be along x-axis and y-axis ie Fx and Fy.

as sin∅= Perpendicular/ Hypotenuse

but we have force F and Fy

so sin∅= Fy/F

or Fy= Fsin∅---------eqA

similarly cos∅= base /hpotenuse

cos∅= Fx/F

Fx= Fcos∅----------eq B

eq A and eq B can be used to determine the values of the rectangular components of the force making an angle with the horizontal

Along hot spots, vast amounts of basaltic lava can flow from fissures, forming:

Fynjy0 [20]

The answer would be flood basalt. This is the outcome of a huge volcanic eruption or sequence of eruptions that covers large expanses of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. The development and effects of a flood basalt hinge on a variety of factors, like latitude, continental configuration, rate, volume, period of eruption, the preexisting climate state, style and location, and the biota flexibility to alteration.

Although these quantities vary from one type of cell to another, a cell can be 1.9 μm in diameter with a cell wall 60 nm thick.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: $2(10)^{-9} mg$

Explanation:

We know the total diameter of the cell (assumed spherical) is:

$d=1.9\mu m=1.9(10)^{-6} m$

Then its total radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.9(10)^{-6} m}{2}=9.5(10)^{-7} m$

On the other hand, we know the thickness of the cell wall is $r_{t}=60 nm= 60(10)^{-9} m$ and its density is the same as water ( $\rho=997 kg/m^{3}$ ).
