Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude m of a vector (x, y) is given by

m = $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ -------------------------(i)

where;

x and y are the x- and y- components of the vector.

From the question;

m = 10m

x = 6m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

10 = $\sqrt{6^2 + y^2}$

Solve for y;

Find the square of both sides

10² = 6² + y²

100 = 36 + y²

y² = 100 - 36

y² = 64

y = √64

y = 8

Therefore, the y-component of the position vector is 8m

Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}$

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by $\frac{C_6}{X_6}$

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = $\frac{C_6}{X_6}$

Force exerted by one atom upon another

$F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X} (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})$

$F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X} (\frac{C_6}{X^6})$

$F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}$

As we can see that the $C_6$ comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

Molecules rearrange and form new molecules reversible

STALIN [3.7K]

1. Molecules rearrange and form new molecules - exchange (they exchange some material in order to produce new things)
2. simultaneous decomposition and synthesis - reversible (it can go back)
3. bonds broken and elements released - decomposition
4. molecules formed from components - synthesis (these components merge and create molecules)

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks.

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2
