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 kinetic energy of an object with mass m moving with a velocity of 5 m/s is 25 j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

100 J, 225 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the initial kinetic energy of the object is

K = 25 J

Then, the velocity is doubled, which means

v' = 2v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has quadrupled:

K' = 4(25)=100 J

Later, the velocity is tripled, which means

v'' = 3v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K''=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2 = 9(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=9K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has increased by a factor of 9:

K' = 9(25)=225 J

In a solution, the substance that does the dissolving is called Blank Space __________.
Finger [1]

The answer is Solvent. The reason is in the wording, 'the substance that does the dissolving.' A solvent does the dissolving, a solute is something that can be dissolved.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>
