Answer:

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is P(x,y) = (x,y), its polar form is defined by:

P(x,y) = (r,\theta) (1)

Where:

r - Norm, measured in meters.

\theta - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} (3)

If we know that x = -3.50\,m and y = -2.50\,m, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}

r \approx 4.301\,m

Since x < 0\,m and y < 0\,m, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)

\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Why is it incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water?

It is incorrect to say heavy objects sink in water because based on the density of the water it can actually cause the "heavy object" to float, out weighing it.

Which is most likely a covalent compound?<br><br> LiF<br> MgS<br> NH3<br> CaCl2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The compound that is covalent from the given choices is NH₃.

Covalent compounds are usually formed between two atoms with similar values of electronegativities such that the difference is very small or zero.

  • This bond type involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms with similar electronegativities.
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen forms stable configuration that are isoelectronic with noble gases by sharing their valence electrons.
  • The 3 hydrogen electrons are enough to make nitrogen isoelectronic with neon.
  • Also, the nitrogen with 3 lone pairs of electrons provides the bonding hydrogen with needed electrons to attain a structure similar to helium.

Flowchart symbols
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A flowchart can be described as a representation of a process or an algorithm in a sequential manner (stepwise) in the form of diagrams. These steps are made of symbols that are connected to one another with the help of arrows. These arrows are used to show the direction of the process.  

There are mainly four symbols that are used to describe a flow chart, which includes-

  • Oval or Pill Shape- This type of symbol is used to depict the start or the end of a process.
  • Rectangle Shape- This type of symbols is used to describe the process .
  • Diamond Shape- This type of symbol is used to represent decision s.
  • Parallelogram- This type of symbol is used for the representation of an input or an output.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

A bird flew16 km west in 5 hours, then flew 20 km east in 6 hours. what was the birdâs velocity?
Mademuasel [1]
Solve for Speed: 16+20=36 km in 11 hrs
Answer: speed = 3.27273 kilometers per hour

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

<span>speed = distance/time</span>
