The magnitude of vector b is 8.58 Unit.

Since both the vectors a and b are perpendicular to each other, so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the magnitude of the vector b.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2

15^2=12.3^2-b^2

b=8.58 unit

Therefor the magnitude of the vector b is 8.58 unit.

The cell belongs to the then musculoskeletal system of the body.

<h3>What type of cells contains filaments that can cause the cell to contract, shortening the length of the cell?</h3>

The myocytes or muscle cells are special cells found in smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles that have differentiated for the specialized function of contraction.

Myocytes are long, cylindrical, multi-nucleated, and striated. They contain filaments that can cause the cell to contract, shortening the length of the cell.

Skeletal muscle cells contain many mitochondria required to generate sufficient ATP since skeletal muscle cells have high energy requirements.

The muscle cells form a part of the musculoskeletal system of the body.

In conclusion, muscle cells are required for muscular contraction.

An object thrown in the air has a velocity after t seconds that can be described by v(t) = -9.8t + 24 (in meters/second) and a h
marin [14]

Answer and Explanation: Kinetic energy is related to movement: it is the energy an object possesses during the movement. it is calculated as:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

For the object thrown in the air:

K=\frac{1}{2}.2.[v(t)]^{2}

K=(-9.8t+24)^{2}

K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Kinetic energy of the object as a function of time: K=96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in relation to other objects. It is calculated as:

U=mgh

For the object thrown in the air:

U=9.8.2.h(t)

U=9.8.2.(-4.9t^{2}+24t+60)

U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Potential energy as function of time: U=-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176

Total kinetic and potential energy, also known as mechanical energy is

TME = 96.04t^{2}-470.4t+576 + (-96.04t^{2}+470.4t+1176)

TME = 1752

The expression shows that total energy of an object thrown in the air is constant and independent of time.
