Answer: Direction


Explanation: A vector is a geometrical representation of physical quantity. It has a particular direction with a specific magnitude. In the geometry of space whether it is two dimensional or three dimensional the vector quantity has a specific direction. Such as a stone is thrown with a velocity in a particular direction.
The path of the stone in three-dimension shows its direction and speed is its magnitude.
Hence, the velocity of stone has two property magnitude mentioned as speed and particular direction. On writing the mathematical expressions for vectors, it is denoted by arrow mark on its top as shown below.

Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.

a cannonball is fired with a speed of 76 m/s from the top of a cliff. It strikes the plane below with a speed of 89 m/s. if we n
galina1969 [7]

Assuming the cannonball is fired horizontally, its horizontal velocity stays at a constant 76 m/s. At the point it hits the ground, it has a speed of 89 m/s, so if its vertical velocity at that moment is v_y, we have

89\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\sqrt{\left(76\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+{v_y}^2}\implies{v_y}^2\approx2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

(taking the negative square root because we take the downward direction to be negative)

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respectively; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position of a body. In the cannonball's case, it starts with 0 vertical velocity and is subject to a downward acceleration with magnitude g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}. So we have

2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}-0=-2g\Delta y\implies\Delta y\approx-109.44\,\mathrm m

(which is negative because we take the cannonball's starting position at the top of the cliff to be the origin) so the cliff is about 109 m high.

What is the formula for principle of moments ?​
Serga [27]

Answer:

The Principle of Moments states that when a body is balanced, the total clockwise moment about a point equals the total anticlockwise moment about the same point. Moment =force F x perpendicular distance from the pivot d.

Can someone help with this physics it stressing me out
Gelneren [198K]
There's no benefit from being stressed out, my lord.

               x = 8 cos(3t + π/3)

When t=0,        x = 8 cos(π/3)

Position  =  8 cos(π/3) = 8 (0.5)  =  4 .

Speed = first derivative of  8 cos(3t + π/3) =

                 - (8) (3) sin(3t + π/3)  =  - 24 sin(π/3)  =  -20.78

Acceleration = second derivative of    8 cos(3t + π/3)  

                   = first derivative of    - 24 sin(3t + π/3) 

                   =        - (24) (3) cos(3t + π/3)

                   =        -72 cos(π/3)  =  -36  .

The period of the motion is the period of   cos(3t + π/3) .
That's the same as the period of  cos(3t) .
When is the first time after (3t=0) when (3t=2π) ?   It's  t = 2π/3 .
The period is   2π/3  .

The amplitude of the motion is the amplitude of     8 cos(.....) .
The amplitude of the cosine is 1 .
The amplitude of     8cos(...)    is  8 .


Words cannot express my boundless gratitude
for the generous gift of your 5 points, my lord.
