Answer:

<em>Fx = 121.24lb</em>

<em>F = 140lb</em>

Explanation:

Since we are not given the angles subtended by the force, we can assume it to be 30 degrees.

The y component of the force expressed by the formula:

Fy = Fsintheta

Given the y-component of the force F to bee 70lb

70lb =  Fsintheta

Get magnitude of the force

F = 70/sin theta

F = 70/sin 30

F = 70/0.5

F = 140lb

Get the x-component of the force

Fx = Fcos theta

Fx = 140cos 30

Fx = 140(0.8660)

Fx = 1,212.4lb

<em>Hence the  x-component of the force sis 121.24lb</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note that the angle used was assumed. Other values can as well be used</em>

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
Lina20 [59]
V o = 6 m/s,
t = 2 s
v = 10 m/s
v = v o + a t
a t = v - v o
a = ( v - v o ) / t 
a = ( 10 m/s - 6 m/s ) / 2 s = 4 m/s / 2 s = 2 m/s²
Answer:
The runner`s acceleration is 2 m/s².

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

d=st

t= d/s

t= 4,800 m/3x10^8m/s

<span>t= 1x10^-5 seconds</span>
