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

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

Which has more inertia a 50kg object or a 10kg object​
ser-zykov [4K]
An object with a greater mass will have more inertia as it takes more force to change their motion.

So, 50kg. (answer)

A dolphin accelerates at -1.77 m/s2 for
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

-19.4 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = -1.77 m/s²

t = 3.33 s

v = -8.77 m/s

Find: Δx

Δx = vt − ½ at²

Δx = (-8.77 m/s) (3.33 s) − ½ (-1.77 m/s²) (3.33 s)²

Δx = -19.4 m
