Answer: option A) a train moving north of east at an angle of 25°


Explanation:

1) You need to choose your axis. In this case North is vertical and positive, South is vertical and negative, East is horizontal and positive, and West is horizontal and negative.

2) The vector with the two positive components is a vector in the first quadrant (North and East). That is what North of East 25° means.

3) Regarding the other options:

B) a bus moving North of East at an angle of 95°: since the angle is greater tnan 90° the vector is in the second quadrant: its horizontal component is negative.


 C) a boat moving South of West at an angle of 40°: this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.

 D) a car moving south of west at an angle of 10°: as in the option C), this is in the third quadrant: the two components are negative.

Two positive components means that the vector should lie in the first quadrant and not be parallel to the x or y axis; the only option that satisfies this is A.

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.13 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass

Otrada [13]

The only force on the system is the mass of the hoop F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N The mass equal of the rolling sphere is found by: the sphere rotates around the contact point with the table.
So by applying the theorem of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is computed by:I = 2/5*mR^2 for rotation about the center of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere.
I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m
Therefore, linear acceleration is computed by:F/m = 27.468 / (2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini

arsen [322]

Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

m₁: KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

(0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.

These are the answer choices:

Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.

Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.

Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Justification:

1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.

2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.

3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).

Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.
