I'm basically making a triangle, and I know (or at least I'm hoping) that the shadow is the horizontal component of the vector that is the hawk's flight. If it's 60 degrees below the "horizontal" or, the way I see it, the "line of sight", the direction is equivalent to 300 degrees if making an imaginary coordinate grid at the point before she descends, making the h.c. = 5.00cos300. Or, actually, the entire thing is a 30-60-90 triangle, so the velocity of her shadow is 2.5 m/s.

The shadow that will be protected on the ground will represent the hawk's horizontal position. therefore it will move at the hawk's horizontal velocity component, which is:
5*cos(60) = 2.5 m/s

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

Group of physics students are asked to demonstrate Ohm’s Law in parallel circuits.  Using their knowledge of Ohm’s Law and the r
astra-53 [7]

The student’s suggestion who provides enough evidence to be able to determine the value of each resistor is student D.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

For the given set of parallel resistors, we need to find the resistance of each resistor.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

R = V/I

Resistance value depends upon the voltage difference across the resistor and the current flowing through that resistance.

Thus, the student D gives enough evidence to find resistance of the circuit is

inysia [295]
The independent variable would be the cleaning products. 

The independent variable is the variable that you can manipulate. The change in the independent variable is not affected by other variables. So in this case, the independent variable would be the cleaning product because you will be changing it.
