The x and y components of vector S are -30.0 m and +40.0 m, respectively. Find the magnitude of S and the angle between the dire
34kurt

Answer:

The given vector can be represented in unit vector as

\overrightarrow{w}=-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}

The magnitude of any vector \overrightarrow{r}=u\widehat{i}+v\widehat{j} is given by

|w|=\sqrt{u^{2}+v^{2}}

Applying values we get

|w|=\sqrt{-30^{2}+40^{2}}\\\\|r|=50

We know that positive x axis in vertorial form is represented as

\overrightarrow{r}=\widehat{i}

taking dot product of both the vector's we get

\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{w}=|r||w|cos(\theta )\\\\\therefore cos(\theta )=\frac{(-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}).\widehat{i}}{50}\\\\\therefore \theta =cos^{-1}(\frac{-30}{50})=126.86^{o}

All of the following activities produce quantitative data exept
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer to your question are A and C

Explanation:

Quantitative data are quantities, something that we get after measuring something.

A. Measuring the rate of gas production from a chemical.  This example is a quantitative measure, because we are measuring the rate.

B. Describing the clarity of water in a sample  If we are describing something, means that we are not measuring anything, so this is not a quantitative measure.

C. Calculating the energy released from an electrochemical reaction If we are not measuring but we are using the data somebody else got to calculate energy, them this is a quantitative data.

Describe how wavelength, frequency, and energy are related.
irina1246 [14]
The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂
