Calculate for the x and y-components of the velocities involved in this item.

 2 mi/h (45° east)
  x-component = (2 mi/h)(sin 45°)
                     = 1.41 mi/h
  y-component = (2 mil/h)(cos 45°)
                     = 1.41 mi/h

4 mi/h (east)
  x-component = 4 mi/h
  y-component = 0 mi/h

Adding up the corresponding components:
     x-component = 5.4142 mi/h

     y-component = 1.4142 mi/h

Calculating for the resultant,
        R = sqrt ((x²) + (y²))
   
        R = sqrt ((5.4142 mi/h)² + (1.4142 mi/h)²)
             R = 5.60 mi/h

Answer: 5.6 mi/h

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

R = 0.0503 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation

       R = v₀² sin 2θ / g

How we know the maximum height

      v_{f}² =v_{oy}² - 2 g y

      v_{f}= 0

      v_{oy} = √ 2 g y

      v_{oy} = √ 2 9.8 / 15

      v_{oy} = 1.14 m / s

Let's use trigonometry to find the speed

    sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

    vo = v_{oy} / sin θ

    vo = 1.14 / sin 60

    vo = 1.32 m / s

We calculate the range with the first equation

     R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30

    R = 0.0503 m

Two objects interact with each other and with no other objects. Initially object A has a speed of 5 m/s and object B has a speed
Radda [10]

Answer:

We can conclude that there is a decrease in kinetic energy of the particles due to their elastic collision, since kinetic energy is directly proportional to squared velocity of the particles.

Explanation:

Given:

initial velocity of particle A, Ua = 5m/s

initial velocity of particle B, Ub = 10 m/s

final velocity of particle A, Va = 4m/s

final velocity of particle B, Vb = 7m/s

For particle A:

The final velocity is 1 less than the initial velocity.

For particle B:

The final velocity is 3 less than the initial velocity.

We can conclude that there is a loss in kinetic energy due to elastic collision of the two particles, since kinetic energy is directly proportional to squared velocity of the particles. A decrease in velocity means decrease in kinetic energy.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

B or D but im pretty sure it is D

Explanation:

When molecules are left in the sun, it heats up. When molecules heat up, the begin to vibrate rapidly. The sun is not constant as it could get blocked by clouds, so it would, at times, slow down the movement of the molecules. The answer is most likely D.

The total charge that an automobile battery can supply without being recharged is given in terms of ampere-hours. A typical 12 V
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

7.894 Hours.

Explanation:

Based on information number hours that this battery will last with give load  has mathematical relation of.

t = \frac{60Ah}{load in amperes.}

with load 60A t =  1h, 30A t = 2h so on and forth.

two head lights draw total current of 2x3.8A = 7.6A.

putting this in above relation gives.

t = \frac{60Ah}{7.6A}=7.894 h.

That is how long will it be before battery is dead.
