We can calculate his resultant speed.

Resultant speed is:
v^2 = 5^2 + 1,9^2 
v = 5,349 m/s

Now we need to find angle between resultant speed and vertical speed.
cos(alpha) = 5/5.349 = 0.9347
alpha = 20,8 degrees

Answer is 20,8 degrees

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Work done can be said to be positive if the applied force has a component to be in the direction of the displacement and when the angle between the applied force and displacement is positive.

The force of friction is 19.1 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the bag is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

The bag is moving at constant speed, so its acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore the net force is zero as well:

\sum F = 0

Here we are interested only in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, therefore the net force is given by:

\sum F = F cos \theta - F_f = 0

where

F cos \theta is the horizontal component of the applied force, with

F = 22.5 N

\theta=32.0^{\circ}

F_f is the force of friction

And solving for F_f, we find

F_f =Fcos \theta=(22.5)(cos 32.0^{\circ})=19.1 N

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
