The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?

The magnitude of a vector with components (15 m , 8 m) is 17 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Vector is a quantity that has a magnitude and direction.

A vector in a cartesian coordinate is represented by an arrow in which the slope of the arrow shows the direction of the vector and the length of the arrow shows the magnitude of the vector.

A position vector of a point is a vector drawn from the base point of the coordinates O (0,0) to that point.

The addition of two vectors can be done in the following ways:

\overrightarrow {AB} + \overrightarrow {BC} = \overrightarrow {AC}

A negative vector is a vector with the same magnitude but in opposite direction.

\overrightarrow {AB} = -\overrightarrow {BA}

Let's tackle the problem!

If there is a vector with components x and y, then how to find the size of a vector is as follows:

Magnitude of A Vector = \large {\boxed {\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} }

The magnitude of a vector with components (15 m , 8 m) is :

\sqrt{15^2 + 8 ^2} = \sqrt{225 + 64} = \sqrt{289} = 17 ~ m

castortr0y [4]

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?
ikadub [295]
D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

Explain the value or importance of using the international system of units when describing motion
adoni [48]
<span>It is important to use the Système Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 4700 MJ with respect to Eart
erastovalidia [21]

during satellite motion we know that total energy is always conserved

so here we will have

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

here we know that

KE_i = 4800 MJ

PE_i = 4700 MJ

now at other position

PE_f = 6000 MJ

now from above equation we have

4800 +4700 = 6000 + KE

now we have

9500 = 6000 + KE

KE = 9500 - 6000 = 3500 MJ

so its kinetic energy will be 3500 MJ
