A vector has a magnitude of 30m at an angle of 225 degrees with respect to the positive x-axis and has a magnitude of 13m.what a
Aneli [31]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure this is not a complete question. My guess is that you are trying to add/subtract vectors. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, so vector A is pretty clear, but a magnitude of 13 (i'm guessing a resultant) without a direction is weird.

IF 13 is the magnitude of the resultant, vector B added to vector A could have any magnitude 17 ≤ B ≤ 43

It could have any direction of

θ = (225 - 180) ± arcsin(13/30)

θ = 45 ± 25.679...

70.679 ≤ θ ≤ 19.321

components of vector B would be

Bx = |B|cosθ

By = |B|sinθ

Nepal has high potential for producing hydroelectricity however it is difficult too.
Stels [109]

Answer:

I'm not a scholar of hydroelectric power in Nepal, so consider my answers carefully, below.

Explanation:

High Potential:  Hydroelectric power comes from the potential energy stored in a mass that is above Earth's surface.  As the word "hydro" implies, the mass in this case is water.  Water from snow and glacier melt, and from normal precipitation (rain) in mountainous regions eventually cascades down the mountains in fast-flowing rivers or waterfalls.  Often, there are lakes or man-made reservoirs to collect and store the water before it flows down.  Mt. Everest is 8848 meters tall (about 29,000 feet).    If a lake forms at just 2,000 meters, one can calculate the amount of energy in each kilogram of water stored in the lake that represents the potential energy available at that altitude.  1 kg of water at 2,000 meters has potential energy, PE, according to the equation:  PE = mgh, where m is the mass in kg, g is Earth's acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec^2), and h is height, in meters.  

PE = mGH

PE = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/sec^2)*(2,000 meters) = 19,000 kg*m/sec^2

1 kg*m/sec^2 is the SI unit for 1 Joule, a measure of energy.

This potential energy can be converted into electrical energy by releasing the water so that it can flow down to a water-powered turbine that spins magnets and coils of wire that produce electricity.  The 19,000 Joules of water potential energy can be converted to electrical power, less any inefficiency in the system, such as friction.

Nepal has the natural advantage in that it has many high mountain ranges with water flows that can be used for generating electrical power.  The result is low operating costs (the fuel is the flowing water) and no greenhouse gas emissions

The difficulty in developing hydroelectric power in Nepal is due to the same factor that gives it an advantage:  it is difficult constructing large hydroelectric plants in such rough terrain, and the power lines that are needed to transport the power to its destination are expensive and difficult to maintain and repair.

A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

A small compass is placed near a very large piece of ferromagnetic material. Before the compass is placed near the material, it
NeTakaya

Answer:

it will move towards the object's magnetic south

Explanation:

The compass pints towards the earth geographic north because the magnetic south of the earth's magnetic field is located in there, if you placed such compass neaar the piece of ferromagnetic material, the magnetic field produced by the magnet will make the compass needle point towards its south magnetic pole, in the same fashion as it points to the earth's magnetic south. It will point to the object's south pole because the magnetic field will be stronger than the earth's (which is weak) that is because of the way magnetism works, opposite poles are attracted and similar poles will tend to separate from each other
