Answer:

D

Explanation:

If two unequal forces act in opposite directions, one larger force must cancel out the smaller force,

leaving the net force to be some number in one direction.

Take for example a game of tug-of-war; there are two  OPPOSITE forces (groups of people) acting on the rope, one force is pulling with a force in the negative direction while the other force is pulling in the positive direction.

If the forces on the rope were unequal, then the stronger force (group) will pull everything in their direction.

The same will happen on two unequal forces of opposite directions acting on a wooden block. Therefore, since the resultant force will have a non-zero magnitude and direction, there will be a change in the block's motion and position.

A vector → A has a magnitude of 56.0 m and points in a direction 30.0° below the negative x axis. A second vector, → B , has a m
MissTica

Answer:

  • The magnitude of the vector \vec{C} is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

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

where | \vec{A} | is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)

So, for our vectors:

\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ ,  ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}

|\vec{C}| =107.76 m

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

I believe that the loss of Phyllis' recollections is thought to be the most heartbreaking side effect of her ailment in light of the fact that once a man's memory scatters then piece of the individual begins to vanish with them. A memory holds a considerable measure of essential data, for example, people's identity, where They have lived, and their connections that they have had with individuals.

If a receiver is overly selective:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.
