A two-dimensional vector has an x-component of 10.3~\text{meters}10.3 meters and a y-component of 4.30~\text{meters}4.30 meters.

Calculate the angle (in degrees) that this two-dimensional vector makes with the positive x-axis.

Answer:

  23°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle a vector makes relative to the +x axis is found as ...

  α = arctan(y/x) = arctan(4.30/10.3) ≈ 22.66°

The angle is about 23°.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

This vector resides in the first quadrant, so no adjustment of the angle is needed. In other quadrants, 180° may need to be added or subtracted from the angle given by the arctan function to arrive at the correct value. (Some calculators and spreadsheets have an ATAN2(x, y) function that takes signs into account.)

En una fiesta hay 40 asistentes de los cuales el número de varones que no bailan es el doble que el número de las mujeres que no
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Para resolver este problema vamos a definir 4 variables:

V= número de varones bailando.

M= número de mujeres bailando.

V' = número de varones que no están bailando.

M' = número de mujeres que no están bailando.

Sabemos que hay 40 personas en la fiesta, por lo que podemos construir la siguiente ecuación:

V+M+V'+M'=40

Vamos a suponer que cada mujer que está bailando, está bailando varón respectivamente. (El problema no da más información, entonces podemos suponer esto.)

Entonces si hay 5 mujeres bailando, entonces también hay 5 hombres bailando, por lo que nuestra ecuación se reescribe de la siguiente manera:

5+5+V'+M'=40

y simplificamos:

10+V'+M'=40

V'+M'=40-10

V'+M'=30

Ahora bien, el problem nos dice que el número de varones que no bailan es el doble del número de mujeres que no bailan en un determinado momento. Entonces con esta información podemos construir la siguiente ecuación:

V'=2M'

Y podemos despejar el número de mujeres que no bailan, lo que nos da:

M'=\frac{V'}{2}

Entonces podemos sustituir esto dentro de nuestra ecuación para obtener:

\frac{V'}{2}+V'=30

y podemos entonces despejar V'

\frac{3V'}{2}=30

V'=\frac{2(30)}{3}

V'=20

Entonces hay 20 varones que no están bailando, por lo que la probabilidad de que el varón que se escoge al azar no esté bailando está dada por la siguiente fórmula:

P=\frac{V'}{total}

P=\frac{20}{40}=\frac{1}{2}

P=50%

True or false 798.7 divided by 1,000= 7.987
aleksandrvk [35]

False. 798.7 divided by 1000 is 0.7987 because 1000 has three zeros, so you move the decimal point three units/numbers to the left

False. 73.09 divided by 100 is 0.7309, you are not multiplying by 100

False. 75.04 divided by 10 is 7.504, you are not multiplying by 10

Which number are in order from least to greatest ​
Mashutka [201]
I’m gonna say that the thrid option is from least to greatest. -2.5, -2.3 -1.5, -1, -0.9. This is because the higher the number is as a negative the more negative it is, making it more less than the others. Hope this helps.
