Answer:

209 m

Explanation:

The y-component of a vector is the magnitude times the sine of the angle.

y = 253 sin 55.8°

y = 209

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 209 m

Explanation:

Data

length = 253 m

d = 55.8°

y - component = ?

Formula

To solve this problem we need to use a right triangle a the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc)

Now we have to choose among the trigonometric functions which one to use that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.

And that one is sineФ = os/h

we clear os = sineФ x h

os = sine 55.8 x253

os = 209 m

the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity

PIT_PIT [208]

The force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity is known as weight.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body.

The formula is :

W =mg

Here,

W is the weight or force acting on the body. m is the mass of the body, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since weight is also a force, so its SI unit is also newton. The value of weight varies from place to place depending on the gravity. Its value can also be equal to zero.

A block is held at rest against a wall by a force of magnitude F exerted at an angle theta from the horizontal, as shown in the

wel

Answers:

B.) $F cos\theta=F_{n}$

C.) $F sin\theta=F_{g} \pm F_{f}$

Explanation:

The image attached shows the way the force $F$ is acting on the block. Now, if we draw a free body diagram of the situation and write the equations for the Net Force in X and Y, we will have the following:

Net Force in X:

$-F_{n}+F cos\theta=0$ (1)

Where:

$F_{n}$ is the Normal force

$F$ is the magnitude of the force exerted on the block

$\theta$ is the angle

Net Force in Y:

$F sin\theta \pm F_{f}-F_{g}=0$ (2)

Where:

$F_{f}$ is the Friction force (it is expresed with the $\pm$ sign because this force may be up or down, we cannot know because the block is at rest)

$F_{g}$ is the gravity force

Rewrittin (1):

$F cos\theta=F_{n}$ (3) This is according to option B

Rewritting (2):

$F sin\theta=F_{g}\pm F_{f}$ (3) This is according to option C

What must be attached to each carburetor on a gasoline inboard engine?

alekssr [168]

To each carburetor on a gasoline inboard engine a backfire flame arrestor must be attached.This arrestor will prevent flames from the backfire causing a fire on board. Several things are important in order the backfire arrestor to function properly:
- should be clean and undamaged.
- If there is a hole in the grid, or oil or gasoline in the grid, or if it is not properly attached, the arrestor will not work correctly.
- must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard

An experiment is performed on an unknown material and produces the given heat curve. The temperature of the material is shown as

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

In the table, 1=46.7 °C, 1=165 J, 2=819 J, 3=1510 J, and 4=2830 J.

Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of

fusion =235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=481 °C.

If the sample of material has a mass of =8.60 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, and when it is liquid, l
