Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles α = 41.4° and β

= 27.7° up from the x-axis respectively. if the vector sum a b c = 0, what are the magnitudes of a and b?

The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] =  a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})

Because \vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0, the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
 or
 a + 0.847b = 0                            (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
 or
 a + 1.4228b = 52.926                (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

Suppose you throw a baseball downward from a roof so that it initially has 120 J of gravitational potential energy, and 10 J of
Volgvan

Answer:

B.

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.

How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two methods will yield different results as one is subject to experimental errors that us the Archimedes method of measurement, the the density measurement method will be more accurate

Explanation:

This is because the density method using the calculated volume will huve room for less errors that's occur in practical method i.e Archimedes method due to human error

Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to
Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>
