Answer:

a1 = -2.89 units

a2 = 3.17 units

magnitude = 4.2896 units

direction = 132.35 degrees

Explanation:

We can write the vector in component form as: <-2.89, 3.17>

That means that its i and j components are:

a1 = -2.89 units

a2 = 3.17 units

The magnitude of the vector is given by:

\sqrt{(-2.89)^2 +3.17^2} \approx 4.2896

The vectors direction can be found from the tangent function, ad noticing that the vector must reside on the Second Quadrant:

arctan(-3.17/2.89) + 180^o\approx 132.35^o

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

An archer shoots an arrow 75 m distant target; the bull's-eye of the target is at the same height as the release height of the a
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

16.25^{\circ}

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Horizontal range is given by

R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}

The angle at which the arrow is to be released is 16.25^{\circ}.

How do reflection and refraction of waves affect communication?​
romanna [79]

Answer:

Reflection involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier. Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?
krek1111 [17]
Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.

For the airfoil and conditions in Problem 2.2, calculate the lift-to-drag ratio. Comment on its magnitude.
raketka [301]

Answer:

L/D= 112

Explanation:

Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.

Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.

Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.

The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.

Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).

and,

Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).

Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).

Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...

Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.
