Answer:

  • R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )
  • Magnitude of R = 5.049 m
  • Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )

\vec{D}=  ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )

and

\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )

\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m  + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m

To find the direction, we can use

\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})

\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})

\theta = arctan(0.304)

\theta = 16\°54'33''

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

Which sentences describe the cyclone device?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a  cylindrical chamber.

✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large  enclosure.

✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust  hopper at the bottom.

✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the  filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.

✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.

Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.

A string is wound around a uniform disc of radius 0.68 m and mass 3.7 kg. The disc is released from rest with the string vertica
Zolol [24]

Answer:

3.962

Explanation:

mass = 1.2

gravity g = 9.81

velocity = ?

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(1/2)mv²

= 9.81 x 1.2  = 3/4v²

11.772 x 4 = 3/4v²

47.088 = 3v²

divide through both sides by 3

15.696 = v²

take the square root of both sides

√15.696 = √v²

= 3.6962 = v

the speed is therefore 3.692

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total amount of energy in the universe does not change, but remains constant
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>The statement : According to the law of conservation of energy, the total amount of energy in the universe does not change, but remains constant - is TRUE. The main point which led me to decide is that our universe is the example of a closed system which means there's nothing inside. Hope you will agree with my opinion.

N object has a charge of -2.0 μc. how many electrons must be removed so that the charge becomes +2.2 μc?
balandron [24]
Electrical Charge is a property of matter that causes it to experience a force when place in an electromagnetic field. Charge is measured in coulombs.
The change in the charge is 2.2- (2.0)= 4.2 μ c.
1 electron has a charge of 1.6 ×10∧-19 coulombs
Therefore, the number of electrons will be;
        = (4.2 ×10∧-6)/ (1.6 ×10∧-19)
        = 2.625 × 10∧13 electrons
