A force of 10N is making an angle of 300 with the horizontal. Its horizontal components will be
Flauer [41]

Answer: 5N

Explanation:

Horizontal component is the force that is applied as a result of the diagonal application of force.

here in this case,

given diagonal force =10N.

angle= 30°

horizontal component is found using trigonometry..

so,

A vector of magnitude 10 N is provided.

It is at an angle of 30° to the + x axis.

To find:

The components along the x and y axis.

Calculation:

Along x axis:

F(x) = F cos(θ)

=> F(x) = 10 × cos(30)

=> F(x) = 10 (√3/2) = 5√3N

Along y axis:

F(y) = F sin(θ)

=> F(y) = 10 sin(30°)

=> F(y) = 10 × ½

=> F(y) = 5 N.

Additional information:

1. A vector is a quantity that can be defined with both magnitude and direction.

2. Since force is a vector, we are able to break it down into components along chosen axis.

What is the relationship between karst development and topography?
mylen [45]
The karst topography is typically defined as a geographic location characterized by a rugged terrain containing landscapes like underground rivers, fissures, and cracks. It is mainly due to the dissolution of the bedrock due to a much heavier precipitation taking place in the geographic location.

What is the energy of a single photon of visible light with a wavelength of 500.0 nm? 1 nm=10^−9 m
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

3.97×10^−19 J

From the planks equation

E=hv

V= c/ wave length

V= 3×10^8/500×10^-9

=6×10^14

E= hv

6.63×10^-34×6×10^14

= 3.97×10^−19 J

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that  

F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_{1} ,m_{2}, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line
