Answer:

x = 12.027N and y = 8.964N

Explanation:

The first sentence of this question is not explanatory enough. However, I'll assume the force to be 15N

Force = 15N

\theta = 36.7 to the horizontal

Required

Solve for the x and y components

Since the given angle is to the horizontal, the x and y coordinates are calculated using the following illustrations.

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} ---- y component

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} ---- x component

Calculating the y component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} becomes

Sin(36.7) = \frac{y}{15}

Make y the subject

y = 15 * Sin(36.7)

y = 15 * 0.5976

y = 8.964N

Calculating the x component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} becomes

Cos(36.7) = \frac{x}{15}

Make y the subject

x = 15 * Cos(36.7)

x = 15 * 0.8018

x = 12.027N

<em>Hence, the x and y components of the force are: 8.964N and 12.027N respectively.</em>

A student at a window on the second floor of a dorm sees her physics professor walking on the sidewalk beside the building. she
klasskru [66]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

In order for the balloon to strike the professor's head, th balloon should drop by 18 - 1.7 = 16.3 m in the time at the professor takes to walk 1 m.
The time for the professor to walk 1 m is
t = (1 m)/(0.45 m/s) = 2.2222 s

The initial vertical velocity of the balloon is zero.
The vertical drop of the balloon in 2.2222 s is
h = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.2222 s)² = 24.197 m

Because 24.97 > 16.3, the balloon lands in front of the professor, and does not hit the professor.

The time for the balloon to hit the ground is
(1/2)*(9.8)*t² = 18
t = 1.9166 s

The time difference is 2.2222 - 1.9166 = 0.3056 s
Within this time interval, the professor travels 0.45*0.3056 = 0.175 m
Therefore the balloon falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

Answer: 
The balloon misses the professor, and falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
