Answer:

1. 10 ft/s² straight up

2. 4 Km north-west

3. 20 m/s South

Explanation:

To successfully categorize the quantities given above as vectors, we must understand what vector quantity is.

A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

Considering the question given above, the vector quantities are:

1. 10 ft/s² straight up

2. 4 Km north-west

3. 20 m/s South

The remaining quantities in the question are not considered as vectors because they only have magnitude but no direction. They are therefore referred to as scalar quantities.

With what tension must a rope with length 2.90 m and mass 0.125 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 42.0 Hz to hav

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

41.64 N

Explanation:

Applying,

v = √(T/m')................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, T = Tension of the rope, m' = mass per unit length of the rope.

make T the subject of the equation,

T = v²m'................. Equation 2

But,

v = λf............... Equation 3

Where λ = wavelength, f = frequency

And

m' = m/L........... Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rope, L = length of the rope

Substitute equation 3 and equation 4 into equation 2

T = (λf)²(m/L).............. Equation 5

From the question,

Given: λ = 0.740 m, f = 42 Hz, m = 0.125 kg, L = 2.9 m

Substitute these values into equation 5

T = (42×0.74)²(0.125/2.9)

T = 41.64 N

Which of the following types of energy originates below Earth's surface?

faltersainse [42]

Geothermal energy. Electromagnetic energy originates at the sun (think UV rays; they are part of the electromagnetic spectrum). Electrical energy technically can be anywhere, as long as there are positive and negative charges. Mechanical energy is like a generator or an engine; there is always something working to get things done/made. I hope this answer and these explanations helped!

A 4 kg box is on a frictionless 35° slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hangi

Anarel [89]

Answer:

(a) 19.62 N

(b) Box moves down the slope

Explanation:

(a)

2 Kg box causes tension

$T=mgwhere m is mass, g is gravitational force taken as 9.81T=2*9.81 =19.62 N (b) Block mass of 4 Kg [tex]T'-mg sin \theta=0$ hence $T'=mg sin \theta$ where m is mass and g is gravitational force

T'=4*9.81 sin 35= 22.5071 N

Since T' is greater than $mg sin\theta$ , then the box moves down the slope

(c)

Acceleration a= $\frac {forward force-backward force}{Total mass}= \frac {mg sin \theta -mg}{m1 + m2}$

$a= \frac {22.51-19.62}{2+4}=0.48$

When moving, the box will exert force T"= $mgsin \theta + ma$

T"= 4*9.81 sin 35 +(4*0.48)= 24.43 N

An object is moving initially with a velocity of 4.7 m/s . After 3.9 s the object's velocity is -2.1 m/s . What is the object's

IgorC [24]

Answer: The acceleration of the object is 0.67m/s^2 west.

Explanation: Here we are given the initial velocity and final velocity as well as the time taken. Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time, thus the equation becomes.

a=dv/t

a=vf-vi/t

a=-2.1-4.7/3.9

a= 0.66m/s^2 west
