The x-component of vector R is Rx = −28.2 units and its y-component is Ry = 19.6 units. What are its magnitude and direction? Give the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-direction.

Explanation:

Rx = -28.2 units

Ry = 19.6 units

magnitude of R = √  [( - 28.2 )² + ( 19.6 ) ]

= √ ( 795.24 + 384.16 )

= 34.34 units

If θ  be the angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-direction

Tanθ = 19.6 / - 28.2 = -0.695

θ = 180 - 34.8

= 145.2° .

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
