Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant. Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

How does the total amount of energy change as the spring goes up and down?

NeX [460]

The total amount of energy always stays the same because of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that there is always the same amount of energy, it just gets turned into different forms like potential energy, kinetic energy, sound, thermal, etc.

Particle q₁ has a charge of 2.7 μC and a velocity of 773 m/s. If it experiences a magnetic force of 5.75 × 10⁻³ N, what is the s

Ne4ueva [31]

The intensity of the magnetic force F experienced by a charge q moving with speed v in a magnetic field of intensity B is equal to
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B.

1) Re-arranging the previous formula, we can calculate the value of the magnetic field intensity. The charge is $q=2.7 \mu C=2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ . In this case, v and B are perpendicular, so $\theta=90^{\circ}$ , therefore we have:
$B= \frac{F}{qv \sin \theta} = \frac{5.75 \cdot 10^{-3}N}{(2.7 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(773m/s)\sin 90^{\circ}}=2.8 T$

2) In this second case, the angle between v and B is $\theta=55^{\circ}$ . The charge is now $q=42.0 \mu C=42.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C$ , and the magnetic field is the one we found in the previous part, B=2.8 T, so we can find the intensity of the force experienced by this second charge:
$F=qvB \sin \theta=(42\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.21 \cdot 10^3 m/s)(2.8 T)(\sin 55^{\circ})=0.12 N$

Compare and contrast the front limb bones of a human and a bat.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

From the outside human arms, bird wings, and bats wings look very different. Humans are covered in skin, birds are covered in feathers, and bats are covered in hair. But on the inside there are many similarities among human, bird, and bat forearms. Did you know that humans, birds, and bats have the exact same types of bones in their forearm? These organisms share the same forearm bones because they all evolved from a common ancestor.

Human, bird, and bat forearm bones include the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.
