Answer:

The horizontal component of the vector ≈ -16.06

The vertical component of the vector ≈ 19.15

Explanation:

The magnitude of the vector, $\left | R \right |$ = 25 units

The direction of the vector, θ = 130°

Therefore, we have;

The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ = $\left | R \right |$ × cos(θ)

∴ Rₓ = 25 × cos(130°) ≈ -16.06

The horizontal component of the vector, Rₓ ≈ -16.06

The vertical component of the vector, R $_y$ = $\left | R \right |$ × sin(θ)

∴ R $_y$ = 25 × sin(130°) ≈ 19.15

The vertical component of the vector, R $_y$ ≈ 19.15

(The vector, R = Rₓ + R $_y$

$\underset{R}{\rightarrow}$ = Rₓ·i + R $_y$ ·j

∴ $\underset{R}{\rightarrow}$ ≈ -16.07·i + 19.15j)

You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the

Brrunno [24]

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.

Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.

In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.

Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.

Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.

Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.

Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.

Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.

A car speeds up from 18.54 m/s to 29.52 m/s in 13.84 s. The acceleration of the car is:

valkas [14]

Answer:

.7934 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time

A = 10.98 $m/s$ / 13.84 $s$

A = .7934 $m/s^{2}$

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on

sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.

C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to _______ meters per second squared.

AfilCa [17]

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared. You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.
