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

A toy car is moving across a table with a velocity of 7.0 m/s and drives off the end. The table is 1.8 m tall. How long will the

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Option D - 0.2 s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 7 m/s

Height of table; h = 1.8m

Now,since we want to find the time the car spent in the air, we will simply use one of Newton's equation of motion.

Thus;

h = ut + ½gt²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

1.8 = 7t + ½(9.8)t²

4.9t² + 7t - 1.8 = 0

Using quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation gives us;

t = -1.65 or 0.22

We can't have negative t value, thus we will pick the positive one.

So, t = 0.22 s

This is approximately 0.2 s

How much heat energy is produced by 0.5 Wh of electrical energy ?

babymother [125]

1.7 Btu

1 watt = 3.41214 Btu/h

1watt * 1h = 3.41214 Btu/h * h

1 = 3.41214 Btu/ (watt*h)/

0.5 watt * h = 0.5 watt*h * 3.41214 Btu/(watt*h) = 1.706 Btu

mart [117]

Answer:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$

Explanation:

let $m$ be the mass attached, let $k$ be the spring constant and let $\beta$ be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}$

where $x(t)$ is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$ shich is the equation of motion.
