PLS ANSWER ASAP A water-skier is pulled behind a boat by a rope that is at an angle of 13° and has a tension of 490 N. The water-skier has a mass of 49 kg.

What are the magnitudes of the x- and y- components of the tension?

What is the normal force acting on the skier?

normal force= 480.2 x component=477.4  y component= 110.4

Explanation:

I'm sorry I just did this today in class but i think normal force has to be equal to mg or the mass * gravity of the person and that would be 480.2 newtons. I multiplied 9.8 (gravity) by the mass of 49g

I think for the x and y components you can make a triangle with the angled string and then use sohcahtoa to solve for the tension. I used cos(13) = x/490 to solve for x component and then I used the pythagoran theroem to get the remaining side which would be : a^2 + 477.4^2 = 490^2

hope this can help and that it is correct. good luck

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
