The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides.

So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) 

now plug in 
x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s

A waitperson carrying a tray with a platter on it tips the tray at an angle of 12 degrees below the horizontal. If the gravitati

Tasya [4]

Answer:1.04 N

Explanation:

Given

Gravitational Force on the Platter is $5 N$

Tray makes an angle of $\theta =12^{\circ}$

This gravitational Force has components along and Perpendicular to Platter

Perpendicular Force $W_p=W\cos \theta$

$W_p=5\times \cos 12=4.89 N$

Along the Tray

$W_{along}=W\sin \theta$

$W_{along}=5\times \sin 12=1.04 N$

Thus 1.04 N is the magnitude of force that will cause Platter to slide down

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

C. $\frac{3F}{8}$

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be, $q$

$F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \_i$

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be, $\frac{q}{2}$

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

$q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\$

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

$F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}$

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8
