Answer:

Velocity is a vector (it has magnitude and direction), so the overall velocity of an object can be found with vector addition of the x and y components: v2 = vx2 + vy2. The units to express the horizontal and vertical distances are meters (m).

Which of these would be an example of unbalanced forces?

A snowball picks up speed as it rolls down the mountain.<em> (D)</em>

Since the description includes acceleration ("picks up speed"), we know that the forces on the snowball must be unbalanced.

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object

Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, $F_x=8\ N$

Force acting along +y direction, $F_y=6\ N$

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}$

Here $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}$

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A radio wave has a speed of 3.00 x10^8 and a frequency of 100 MHz. What is the wavelength?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of radio is wave is 3 m

Explanation:

Wavelength of radio is wave is

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

$v=3 \times 10^8 m\s\\f=100 Mhz$

wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{100\times 10^6} \\\\\lambda=3 m\\$

Why do mirrors form inverted images?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted).
