Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

$\sum d_{x} = - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\ { \underline{d _{x} = - 5.702 \: m}} \\ \\ \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0 \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y} = - 11.476 \: m}}$

therefore, for resultant:

$d = \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x} {}^{2} }$

substitute:

$d = \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} + {( - 11.476)}^{2} } \\ \\ d = \sqrt{164.211} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}$

During the annual shuffleboard competition, Renee gives her puck an initial speed of 8.12 m/s. Once leaving her stick, the puck

shutvik [7]

<h2>Answer:2.65 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

Let $a$ be the acceleration.

Let $u$ be the initial velocity.

Let $v$ be the final velocity.

Let $t$ be the time taken.

As we know from the equations of motion,

$v=u+at$

Given, $v=0\\u=8.12ms^{-1}\\a=-3.06ms^{-2}$

$0=8.12-3.06t$

$t=2.65sec$

Kalea throws a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 13.7 m/s. How high h does the ball rise above its r

Trava [24]

Answer:

h = 9.57 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of Kalea, u = 13.7 m/s

At maximum height, v = 0

Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach its maximum point. It cane be calculated as :

$v=u-gt$

$u=gt$

$t=\dfrac{u}{g}$

$t=\dfrac{13.7}{9.8}$

t = 1.39 s

Let h is the height reached by the ball above its release point. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, a = -g

$h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=13.7\times 1.39-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (1.39)^2$

h = 9.57 meters

So, the height attained by the ball above its release point is 9.57 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).
