<u>Answer:</u>

a) 12.8 m, 150° = (-11.09 i + 6.4 j) m

b)3.30 cm, 60.0° = (1.65 i + 2.86 j) cm

c)22.0 in., 215° = (-18.02 i + 9.30 j) in.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider  vector having magnitude X and inclined θ degree to positive horizontal axis, its horizontal component = X cosθ and vertical component =  X sinθ.

  So X = X cosθ i + X sinθ j

a)12.8 m, 150°

       = 12.8 cos 150 i + 12.8 sin 150 j = (-11.09 i + 6.4 j) m

b)3.30 cm, 60.0°

       = 3.30 cos 60 i + 3.30 sin 60 j = (1.65 i + 2.86 j) cm

c)22.0 in., 215°

       = 22.0 cos 215 i + 22.0 sin 215 j = (-18.02 i + 9.30 j) in.

How can you tell which substances are creating the light of the sun or a lightbulb?
Westkost [7]
Through spectroscopy.  Each atom in a gas absorbs and emits light at very specific and unique frequencies.  Heating up a gas causes it to glow at these frequencies. If you put the light from a mercury lamp, for example, through a prism there will not be a rainbow.  There will only be specific bands of light at certain colors.  
On the other hand, white light comes from the sun.  The inner part of the sun creates white light as it isn't just a gas state (this specific choosing of frequencies is a gaseous phenomenon) but the atmosphere of the sun is a gas.  So when the white light passes through it, it absorbs specific frequencies specific to the elements in the gas.  These get scattered (released at random directions) and so many of them don't reach our telescopes.  So in a rainbow from stars (including the sun) have dark bands at specific frequencies.  You need equipment to focus and see the spectrum closely to notice this.  But the missing frequencies are the EXACT frequencies that the gas of the sun's atmosphere would release if heated in a lamp.  
So based on what light is emitted (in gas bulbs) or missing from a spectrum (from stars) we can tell what elements are present there.

Junior slides across home plate during a baseball game. If he has a mass of 115 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction betw
tatyana61 [14]

Weight Force of Junior = m g = 115kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 1128.15N then compute for the friction force


Friction Force= WF x (coefficient of kinetic friction) = 1128.15N x 0.35 =  394.8525N or 395N

 

But you can compute in a straightway:

Solution:

= 115 x 9.81 x 0.35

= 394.85

= 395 N

 

It will still give the same results.

A car is accelerated at a constant rate from 15 m/s to 25 m/s. It takes the car 6 s to reach its final speed. What is the car’s
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

<h2>1.67 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The car’s acceleration can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

a =  \frac{25 - 15}{6}  =  \frac{10}{6}  =  \frac{5}{3}  \\  = 1.666666...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.67 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
