The car's acceleration is equal to $4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ to the east.

Why?

To calculate the car's acceleration, we need to use the given information about its mass and the force applied on it. We can use the following formula:

$Force=mass*acceleration\\\\6570N=1500Kg*acceleration\\\\acceleration=\frac{6750N}{1500Kg}=4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Hence, we have that the car's acceleration is equal to $4.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ to the east.

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

$R=A=B$

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

$R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°$

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°

Why are some consolation visible to New York State observers at midnight during April , but not visible at midnight during Octob

Svetach [21]

"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere

dalvyx [7]

There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity
