Answer:
a.) magnitude __49.7__ unit(s)
b.) direction __123.6°_ counterclockwise from the +x axis
Explanation:
Let Vector is v
x-component of Vector v = x = -27.5 units (minus sign indicate that x-component is along the minus x-axis )
y-component of Vector v = y = 41.4 units
Magnitude of v = ?
Direction of v = ?
To find the magnitude of the vector
v =
v = 
v = 49.7 units
To find direction
θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)
θ = tan⁻¹(41.4/-27.5)
θ = -56.4°
This Angle is in the clockwise direction with respect to -x axis.
We need to find Angle counterclockwise from the +x axis.
So,
θ = 180° - 56.4°
θ = 123.6°
The given vector is in 2nd quadrant
Gravity
Explanation:
Johanna's table:
Circular motion Centripetal force
space station in orbit X
a child in a swing
a ball on a string
The type of centripetal force at work in a space station in orbit is the force of gravity.
The force of gravity is constantly pulling and attractive all objects and bodies to its center.
This force is directed towards the center of the orbit of the earth and it is a centripetal force
- Gravity attracts any object that has mass.
- The mass of the satellite and the earth keeps it in orbit and prevents it from moving out of orbit.
- The more the mass the more the gravitational attraction.
