Answer:

Resultant displacement = 1222.3 m

Angle is 88.3 degree from +X axis.

Explanation:

A = 550 m north

B = 500 m north east

C = 450 m north west

Write in the vector form

A = 550 j

B = 500 (cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = 353.6 i + 353.6 j

C = 450 ( - cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = - 318.2 i + 318.2 j

Net displacement is given by

R = (353.6 - 318.2) i + (550 + 353.6 + 318.2) j

R = 35.4 i + 1221.8 j

The magnitude is

R = \sqrt{35.4^{2}+1221.8^{2}}R = 1222.3 m

The direction is given by

tan\theta =\frac{1221.8}{35.4}\\\\\theta = 88.3^{o}

Interest groups representing businesses and investors are often among the most successful lobbying groups in foreign policy. Why
alisha [4.7K]

The members of these groups make up the majority of voters in many districts thus this  be considered a problem.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Interest groups play a key role in US politics. Such organizations are made up of wealthy and powerful members who often seek to impose some form of leverage in politicians to promote their goals and agendas. Across the years via many campaigns, they have understood how to speak and manipulate elected leaders and apply leverage to get the kind of legislation that is in their favor. Here the majority of voters in several districts are standing due to group members, as we recognize the interest group belongs to a body in which it uses different methods of lobbying to influence others.

Celina has a water sample that’s contaminated with salt and microorganisms. Which method should she use to purify the water?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Celina should perform the following method to get pure water:

Boil the water in a pan, as the water boils it changes into gas (water vapours) these vapours should be cooled down through the process of condensation which changes gas into liquid form, Through this process germs would be killed due to high temperature and the salt will remain in the pan as salt has higher boiling point than water,

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56
