Answer: the angle between the resultant vector and the vector of the 18 pound is 28°

Explanation:

given that data in the question; as its interpreted in the diagram below;

from the cosine rule, we know that;

a² = b² + c² - 2bc  

so

(13)² = (6)² + (18)² - (2 × 6 × 18 ) cos∅

169 = 36 + 324 - 216cos∅

169 = 360 - 216cos∅

216cos∅ = 360 - 169

216cos∅ = 191

cos∅ = 0.8842

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( 0.8842 )

∅ = 27.8° ≈ 28°  {nearest whole number}

Therefore the angle between the resultant vector and the vector of the 18 pound is 28°

Why is pseudoscience bad?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It is quite difficult to picture a pseudoscientist—really picture him or her over the course of a day, a year, or a whole career. What kind or research does he or she actually do, what differentiates him or her from a carpenter, or a historian, or a working scientist? In short, what do such people think they are up to?

… it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

The answer might surprise you. When they find time after the obligation of supporting themselves, they read papers in specific areas, propose theories, gather data, write articles, and, maybe, publish them. What they imagine they are doing is, in a word, “science”. They might be wrong about that—many of us hold incorrect judgments about the true nature of our activities—but surely it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

What is pseudoscience?

“Pseudoscience” is a bad category for analysis. It exists entirely as a negative attribution that scientists and non‐scientists hurl at others but never apply to themselves. Not only do they apply the term exclusively as a discrediting slur, they do so inconsistently. Over the past two‐and‐a‐quarter centuries since the term popped into the Western European languages, a great number of disparate doctrines have been categorized as sharing a core quality—pseudoscientificity, if you will—when in fact they do not. It is based on this diversity that I refer to such beliefs and theories as “fringe” rather than as “pseudo”: Their defining characteristic is the distance from the center of the mainstream scientific consensus in whichever direction, not some essential property they share.

Scholars have by and large tended to ignore fringe science as regrettable sideshows to the main narrative of the history of science, but there is a good deal to be learned by applying the same tools of analysis that have been used to understand mainstream science. This is not, I stress, to imply that there is no difference between hollow‐Earth theories and geophysics; on the contrary, the differences are the point of the analysis. Focusing on the historical and conceptual relationship between the fringe and the core of the various sciences as that blurry border has fluctuated over the centuries provides powerful analytical leverage for understanding where contemporary anti‐science movements come from and how mainstream scientists might address them.

As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be

The central claim of this essay is that the concept of “pseudoscience” was called into being as the shadow of professional science. Before science became a profession—with formalized training, credentialing, publishing venues, careers—the category of pseudoscience did not exist. As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be. In fact, despite many decades of strenuous effort by philosophers and historians, a precise definition of “science” remains elusive. It should be noted however that the absence of such definitional clarity has not seriously inhibited the ability of scientists to deepen our understanding of nature tremendously.

Beer, an alcoholic beverage, is a solution composed primarily of water with an ethanol content of about 7%. identify the solute
zloy xaker [14]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

A mixture primarily consists of the solute and the solvent. The solvent constitutes the majority of the amount in the mixture. Since ethanol account for 7%, then water must be 93%, considering other inert materials to be negligible.

Thus, the solute is ethanol and the solvent is water.

A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}

KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2

Here

I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2 meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2

So,

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} =  \frac{10}{545+10}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018
