A position vector in the first quadrant has an x-component of 6 m and a magnitude of 10 m. What is the value of its y-component

Physics
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago

Answer:

8m

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;

<em>Find the square of both sides</em>

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

What is the energy of a rock with a mass of 10.2 kg on a cliff that is 300 m height?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The potential energy of the rock is 30,000 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the gravitational potential energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field

KE is the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion

In this problem, the rock is at rest, so its kinetic energy is zero:

KE = 0

Therefore, the energy of the rock is just equal to its potential energy, which is:

E=PE=mgh

where

m = 10.2 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 300 m is the height of the rock above the ground

Substituting and solving, we find

PE=(10.2)(9.8)(300)=30,000 J

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).
