Positive x-axis points to the right, Positive y-axis points up, Angles are measured CCW (counter-clock-wise) from the positive x-axis. When a numerical input is necessary: Enter your answer to 4 significant figures. Use a leading zero for numbers between -1 & 1. Do NOT use Scientific Notation. Angles must be reported with a minimum of 2 decimal places. Report directions as positive angles. For instance, 350 degrees, not -10 degrees. Use the "standard" coordinate system unless noted otherwise. Regarding the magnitude of an angle between two objects that could be reported with more than one value, submit the smaller value. Magnitude shall always be reported as a positive number. Value shall be reported either as a positive or negative number based upon the application. When reporting a value, include the sign.

- R is not a readily measurable quantity for a given field. But we may have a sense of how large R is relatively for different fields. For example, field A is a subfield in physics that has very thorough background knowledge, with a small community, and the scientists have a good way of figuring out what hypotheses are important and should be tested. Field B is a subfield of genetics which has attracted a lot of attention recently and is still in the exploratory phase of finding fruitful relations. Which field has higher R? Field A. Field B.arrow_forward"You are out for an early morning walk. You walk 5.0 m, South and 12.0 m, East. Then, you decided to walk further and go 4.0 m, Southwest and 6.0 m West.

Solve for resultant and anglearrow_forwardA fundamental law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force exerted on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. If the proportionality constant is defined to have no dimensions, determine the dimensions of force. (Use the following as necessary: M, L, and T.) What is force? The newton is the SI unit of force. According to the results for (a), how can you express a force having units of newtons using the fundamental units of mass, length, and time?

- pic comes first, and is this possible to do? In the above graphic, b is the length of one side of the triangle, here defined as the “base”. If you drop a perpendicular from the angle opposite side b to side b, this is called the “height of the triangle”. The area of the triangle, called A, is related to the base and height using the equation: A = (1/2) (base X height) = 0.5bh. In the case where b = 10 cm and h =6 cm, A = 0.5 X 10 X 6 = 30. Kepler’s Three Laws of Elliptical Planetary Motion are written: Planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun. The line connecting a planet with the Sun, called the Radius Vector, sweeps out equal areas in equal times. The Orbital Period of a planet around the Sun, P, is the time it takes that planet to complete one solar orbit. The square of P is equal is proportional to the planet’s semi-major axis, a.
