An object travels with velocity v = 4.0 meters/second and it makes an angle of 60.0° with the positive direction of the y-axis.

Calculate the possible values of vx.

Answer:

2 m/s and -2 m/s

Explanation:

The object travels with an angle of

60.0°

with the positive direction of the y-axis: this means that it lies either in the 1st quadrant (positive x) or in the 2nd quadrant (negative x).

If it lies in the 1st quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = v cos \theta = (4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=2 m/s

If it lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

v_x = -v cos \theta = -(4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=-2 m/s

if the 50 kg object slows down to a velocity of 1 m/s how much kinetic energy does it have 100j 50j 25j or none
rodikova [14]

ek =  \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50) {(1)}^{2}

ek =  \frac{1}{2}(50)

ek = 25j

//

I'm not really sure but I do know that it's not 0 because the object is still moving, even if it's only moving at 1 m/s.

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
