Answer:

Bent knees

Explanation:

Depending the height your jumping from, if you were jumping from a high structure it's best if you jump and land on knees so you dont sprang your ankles from jumping and landing on your straight legs, you could even pull a muscle if you land on straight legs.

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point. F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 9.20 NN and is directed at an a

Answer:

-9.46 N

Explanation:

In order to get the value of the x component of the resultant force, we need to get the value of the x component of each force.

This value will be the projection of the force vector, on the x-axis.

For F₁, as it is directed at an angle of 55.0º above the negative x axis, we can find F₁ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₁ₓ, and r = F₁

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º-55º = 125º

⇒ F₁ₓ = F₁* cosθ = 9.2 N * cos 125º = -5.28 N

We can repeat the process for F₂, as follows:

For F₂, as it is directed at an angle of 53.3º below the negative x axis, we can find F₂ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₂ₓ, and r = F₂

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º + 53.3º = 233.3º

⇒ F₂ₓ = F₂* cosθ = 7.00 N * cos 233.3º = -4.18 N

The total component of both forces along the x axis, can be found just adding both components, as follows:

Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ = -5.28 N + -4.18 N = -9.46 N

What is an effect of an object getting wet?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

once light hits a wet shirt, that water layer causes less of the blue shirt's blue wavelengths of light to be reflected toward your eyes and more of the blue light to be refracted, or bounce away from you, back into the fabric.
