We conclude that Jeremy walked 2.37km North and 0.59 km West.

<h3>How to get the North and West components?</h3>

We can assume that the distance that he walked is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, like the one you can see in the image below.

There, you can see that the adjacent cathetus would be the displacement in the North direction, while the opposite cathetus would be the displacement in the West direction.

Then we can use the relations.

  • Sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
  • Cos(θ)  = (adacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

With θ = 13.9° and hypotenuse = 2.44km

Solving these two we will get:

sin(13.9°) = Y/2.44km

sin(13.9°)*2.44km = Y = 0.59 km

cos(13.9°) = X/2.44km

cos(13.9°)*2.44km = X = 2.37km

So we can conclude that he walked 2.37km North and 0.59 km West.

Answer:

M= F^n / a+g

Explanation:

This shows correctly Newton’s second law, where sum of forces is divided by mass is equal to acceleration. Also mass can’t be negative so F^n is positive.

Which statement best describes the effect of the magnet on the block of
barxatty [35]

The magnet (south pole of the magnet) has magnetized the right side of the block.

<h3>Direction of electric field in the magnetic material</h3>

The direction of electric field of the atom of the magnetic material is unpolarized.

From the diagram in the image, the right hand side of the magnetic material is being attracted to south pole of the magnet.

Thus, we can conclude that, the magnet has magnetized the right side of the block.

The barometric pressure in breckenridge, colorado (elevation 9600 feet) is 580 mm hg. how many atmospheres is this?
Maksim231197 [3]

1 atmospheric pressure = 760.0 mm Hg

Thus 580 mm Hg = (580 mm Hg/(760 mm Hg/atm))

= 0.763 atm
