Answer:

B) Degrees

Explanation:

The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.

From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.

So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

Ian walks 2 km to his best friends house, then walks 0.5 km to the library. He then makes 2.5 km walk home. The entire walk took

allochka39001 [22]

1. 2+0.5+2.5= 3. 2km/hr average

2. 14-6=4seconds. 8m/s in 4s = 2m/s acceleration

3. 15m/s divided by 2.5 = 6m/s acceleration

Using 0.500 g of nichrome, you are asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. The resistance of the wire is 0.673 Ω.

mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g

The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms

Resistivity of the nichrome wire, $\rho=10^{-6}\ \Omega -m$

Density, $d=8.31\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$

(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :

Volume,

$V=A\times l\\\\A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\Since, V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.31\times 10^3}\\\\V=6.01\times 10^{-8}\ m^3$

Area,

$A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}$ ....(1)

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\l=\dfrac{0.673\times 6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l\times 10^{-6}}\\\\l=0.201\ m$

(b) Equation (1) becomes :

$A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{0.201}\\\\\pi r^2=3\times 10^{-7}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 10^{-7}}{\pi}} \\\\r=3.09\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4
