Find the magnitude of the sum of two vectors; A is 5 km , and B is 7 , when the angle btween them is 120

Physics
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago

Answer: 6.24 km

Explanation:

Given

The magnitude of the first vector(say) \left |  a\right |=5\ km

the magnitude of the second vector(say) \left |  b\right |=7\ km

the angle between them is 120^{\circ}

The resultant vector magnitude is given by

\left |  \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}

\left |  \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+2\times 5\times 7\cdot \cos 120^{\circ}}\\\left |  \vec{R}\right |=\sqrt{74-35}=\sqrt{39}\\\left |  \vec{R}\right |=6.24\ km

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using  the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

W=\Delta K.E

\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=2\mu g d

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}

v=26.91\ m/s

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

A drag racer starts from the rest and accelerates at 7.4m/s^2.how far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

14.8 m

Explanation:

S= ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where u = initial velocity

S= (0 \frac{m}{s})(2s) + \frac{1}{2}(7.4\frac{m}{s^{2} })(2s^{2})

S=  \frac{1}{2}(7.4\frac{m}{s^{2} })(2s^{2})

S=14.8 m

BARSIC [14]

ANSWER:

The study and analysis of light according to its component wavelengths is called spectroscopy.

EXPLANATION:

Spectroscopy is the branch of science  that is concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectrum produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation.It helps us to identify atoms and molecules in the object.Spectroscopy is used to find out Dopplers effect (the red shift and blue shift),which tells how fast the object is comming towards earth or moving away from the earth.
