1. A golf ball is hit at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal at a velocity of 24 m/s. Calculate the Viy. 2. A golf ball is hit at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal at a velocity of 24 m/s. Calculate the Vix.

3. A firefighter, standing 45 m from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a ground level fire hose at an angle of 25 degrees above the horizontal. The Vi of the stream as it leaves the hose is 55 m/s. What is the water’s Vix?

See the answers below

Explanation:

In order to solve these problems, we must decompose the magnitudes of the velocities on the x & y-axes, using the angles that are given. It is important for a better understanding to look at the attached image and understand how the angles are located relative to the horizontal axis.

1.

The horizontal component of the angle can be found with the cosine function. While the vertical component can be found using the sine function of the angle.

Viy = 24*sin (40)

Viy = 15.42 [m/s]

2.

The horizontal component of the angle can be found with the cosine function.

Vix = 24*cos(40)

Vix = 18.38 [m/s]

3.

Vix = 55*cos(25)

Vix = 49.84 [m/s]

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
