Furthermore, the Pythagorean theorem works when the two added vectors are at right angles to one another - such as for adding a north vector and an east vector.

Water in the oceans may become fresh water available to humans through the processes of

Darya [45]

<span>Water in the oceans may become fresh water available to humans through the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

In these processes, water is heated to a very high temperature until it evaporates in order to kill the germs and remove the salts which remains after water evaporation. The next step in condensing the water vapor (which is now fresh) and precipitating this vapor to be used by humans.</span>

6. If a drag racer wins the final round of herrace by going an average speed of 320 m/sin 4.5 seconds, what distance did he cove

Ivan

We want to calculate the distance covered by the drag racer. Recall, the formula for calculating distance is expressed as

Distance = speed x time

From the information given,

speed = 320 m/s

time = 4.5 s

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Distance = 320 m/s x 4.5s

s cancels out. We are left with m. Thus,

Distance = 1440m

A very powerful vacuum cleaner which has a hose of circular cross section can lift a brick of mass 12 kg when the hose is placed

valkas [14]

Answer:

A). 1.9 cm

Explanation:

m = Mass of brick = 12 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of hose

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

F = Force = $mg$

Let us assume that the pressure required to lift the brick would be atmospheric pressure

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{F}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{F}{\pi P}}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{12\times 9.81}{\pi\times 101325}}\\\Rightarrow r=0.01923\ m=1.9\ cm$

The radius of the hose should be 1.9 cm
