You walk 100m due north. You then turn and walk 55m due east. You then make another turn and walk 12m due south. What is the res

Answer:

Explanation:

Important here is to know that due north is a 90 degree angle, due east is a 0 degree angle, and due south is a 270 degree angle. Then we find the x and y components of each part of this journey using the sin and cos of the angles multiplied by each magnitude:

A_x=100cos90\\A_x=0\\B_x=55cos0\\B_x=55\\C_x=12cos270\\C_x=55

Add them all together to get the x component of the resultant vector, V:

V_x=55

Do the same to find the y components of the part of this journey:

A_y=100sin90\\A_y=100\\B_y=55sin0\\B_y=0\\C_y=12sin270\\C_y=-12

Add them together to get the y component of the resultant vector, V:

V_y=88

One thing of import to note is that both of these components are positive, so the resultant angle lies in QI.

We find the final magnitude:

V_{mag}=\sqrt{55^2+88^2} and, rounding to 2 sig dig's as needed:

V_{mag}= 1.0 × 10² m; now for the direction:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{88}{55})= 58°

Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?
Wittaler [7]

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∧·······∵·······∴·······Hello :D········∴·······∵·······∧

How is Mass or volume change affect density?: Density is an intensive property of the material or substance and depends upon the relationship between the mass and volume. Unless the mass changes in relation to the volume, the density will not change.

Are mass and volume related?: Mass and volume are two units used to measure objects. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, while volume is how much space it takes up.We can say that the volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass. As the volume increases the mass of the object increases in direct proportion.

How can density of an object be determined?: If the mass of an object increases then its density increases because density is directly proportional to mass.
