The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides.
<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>
<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>
By definition, the gain in PE (potential energy) is
ΔPE = m*g*h
Given:
mg = 40 N (Note that m*g = weight)
h = 5 m
ΔPE = (40 N)*(5 m) =200 J
Answer: 200 J
Answer:
Fr = 26.83 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem, since the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and density. Therefore the Pythagorean theorem is suitable for the solution of this problem.
![F_{r}=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(24)^{2} } \\F_{r}=26.83[N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Br%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B%2812%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%2824%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%7D%20%5C%5CF_%7Br%7D%3D26.83%5BN%5D)
Answer: B. If an object's velocity is changing,it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration.
Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This implies that if an object is changing it's velocity it is experiencing acceleration/ deceleration.
Acceleration is a vector quantity that has both a magnitude and time.
It is represented as
Acceleration= change in velocity/time.
The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
