Answer:

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is -15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}.

Explanation:

speed of cyclist = 12 km/h east

speed of wind = 5 km/h south west

Write the speeds in the vector form

\overrightarrow{vc} = 12 \widehat{i}\\\\overrightarrow{vw} = - 5 (cos 45 \widehat{i} + sin 45 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is

\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = \overrightarrow{vw}-\overrightarrow{vc}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = - 3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}  - 12 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} =-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Of longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Depending on the direction of the oscillation, there are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the oscillations occur perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the oscillations occur parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. In such a wave, the oscillations are produced by alternating regions of higher density of particles, called compressions, and regions of lower density of particles, called rarefactions. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Explain why, in terms of forces, there is a risk of head injury when diving from this height. Suggest why the high divers would
podryga [215]

Answer:

Due to lower risk of injury or damage.

Explanation:

The high divers would choose to enter the water from the feet first because there is low risk of injury. The brain is the most important part of the body which very sensitive to any small injury. Small injury to brain leads to big problems in life. High divers can reach speeds of nearly 60 mph and enters about 28m into the water in about three seconds which can damage the head region if comes in contact with the ground so this is the reason the high divers avoid of entering in the water through their heads and choose entering through their feet.
