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

How can we describe, model, and explain the material world, and are there limitations?
taurus [48]

Answer:· A model is a description of natural phenomenon that scientists can use to make predictions. A good model is both as accurate as possible and as simple as possible, which makes it not only powerful but also easy to understand. However, no matter how good they are, models will almost always have limitations.

Answer:

D. Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. So a perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is impossible to eliminate frictional force. It can only be reduced

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph
