Answer:

F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East

Explanation:

The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.

Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.

Wind

X axis

          F₁ = 2.50 kN

Tide

         cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂

         sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂

          F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30

         F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30

         F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN

         F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN

the resultant force is

X axis

        Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ

        Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039

        Fₓ = 3,539 kN

        F_y = F_{2y}

        F_y = 0.600

to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = \sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}

         F = \sqrt{ 3.539^2 + 0.600^2 }

         F = 3,589 kN

the address is

         tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{F_y}{F_x}

         θ = tan⁻¹  \frac{0.6}{3.539}0.6 / 3.539

         θ = 9.6º

the resultant force to two significant figures is

         F = 3.6 kN

the direction is 9.6º to the North - East

What is the target heart rate a female age 32
Airida [17]

Answer:

The normal resting heart rate for adults over the age of 10 years, including older adults, is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sometimes reaching 40 bpm. The resting heart rate can vary within this normal range.

Explanation:

I hope that answers your question!

While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the r
sdas [7]

Answer:

The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m

Explanation:

A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.

Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.

If f = 39 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{39\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=7692.30\ m

If f = 78 kHz,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{78\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=3846.15\ m

So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.
