Answer:

━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟIf the angle is the angle between the eastern axis and the vector, then the leg adjacent the angle is the x-component and the leg opposite the angle is the y-component. Thus, the cosine function is used to calculate the x-component and the sine function is used to calculate the y

Use newton's law to explain the vertical acceleration of a projectile

NISA [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion: This law states that an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion except it's acted upon by an external force. In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity will remain unchanged because we ignore air resistance since no force is acting in that horizontal direction.

Newton's second law of motion: This law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration. In projectile the force acts downwards, thus f = mg.

But g = a since internal forces will cancel out.

Thus, F = ma

A 10 kg migratory swan cruises at 20m/s. A calculation that takes into ac-count the necessary forces shows that this motion requ

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules$

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

$\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977$

$\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%$

What's the equivalent resistance to the resistances shown? A) 5 B) 6 C) 2 D) 3

PIT_PIT [208]

From A to B its 5 ohm.
above shown 6 and 12 ohm resistors are in parallel to short circuit hence their equivalent resistance is zero.
(Current doesnt flow through a resisstor if there is a Short circuit alternate.
