Answer:
the rock breaks down when the wind blows particles of sand against it.
Explanation:
because the sand can easily be decomposed and temperature easily accessible to it cause line of weaknesses of the rock to break down
Answer:
Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]
Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, in the attached image we can see a free body diagram.
Taking the inclined X & y axes with the same angle of 42°, we can see that the weight can be decomposed on both axes.
Since the angle is adjacent to the y-axis, we can use the cosine function
Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]
Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]
Answer: 0 m
Explanation:
Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:
The trajectory is the <u>path followed by the body</u> (is a scalar quantity).
The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).
According to this, in the description Matthew's home is placed at 0 on a number line, then he moves 10 m to the park (this is the distance between the park and Mattew's home), then 15 m to the movie theatre until he finally comes back to his home (position 0). So, in this case we are talking about the <u>path followed by Matthew</u>, hence <u>his trajectory</u>.
However, if we talk about Matthew's displacement, we have to draw a straight line between Matthew's initial position (point 0) to his final position (also point 0).
Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for Matthew is 0 meters.
