a. The value of v is 9.2

b. The value of u is 9.9

<h3>What are vectors?</h3>

Vectors are physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction

<h3>How to find the value of vectors u and v?</h3>

Since we have vectors

  • u at 70° to the x-axis
  • v at 47° to the x-axis and
  • w = 10 at 15° to the x-axis,

We resolve them into component form

So, u = -(ucos70°)i - (usin70°)j

u = -(0.3420u)i - (0.9397u)j

v = -(vcos47°)i + (vsin47°)j

v = -(0.6820v)i - (0.7314v)j

w = (wcos15°)i + (wsin15°)j

w = (0.9659w)i + (0.2588w)j

w = (9.659)i + (2.588)j

Since the sum of the three vectors is zero, we have that

u + v + w = 0

u + v = -w

So,

-(0.3420u)i - (0.9397u)j + [-(0.6820v)i - (0.7314v)j] = -[(9.659)i + (2.588)j]

-(0.3420u)i - (0.9397u)j -(0.6820v)i - (0.7314v)j = -(9.659)i - (2.588)j]

-(0.3420u)i -(0.6820v)i - (0.9397u)j - (0.7314v)j = -(9.659)i - (2.588)j]

-[0.3420u + 0.6820v]i - [0.9397u + 0.7314v]j = -(9.659)i - (2.588)j

Equating i components, we have

-[0.3420u + 0.6820v]i = -9.659i

0.3420u + 0.6820v = 9.659

Dividing through by 0.3420. we have

u + 1.994v = 28.242 (1) and

Also, equating j components, we have

- [0.9397u + 0.7314v]j = -2.588j

0.9397u + 0.7314v = 2.588  

Dividing through by 0.9397 we have

u + 0.778v = 2.754 (2)

<h3>a. The value of v</h3>

Subracring equation (2) from(1),we have

u + 1.994v = 28.242 (1)

-

u + 0.778v = 2.754 (2)

2.772v = 25.488

v = 25.488/2.772

v = 9.19

v ≅ 9.2

The value of v is 9.2

<h3>b. The value of u</h3>

Substituting v into (1), we have

u + 1.994v = 28.242 (1)

u + 1.994(9.19) = 28.242

u + 18.325 = 28.242

u = 28.242 - 18.325

u = 9.917

u ≅ 9.9

The value of u is 9.2

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 155 centimeters and a leg of 124 centimeters. Which of these is the length of the other leg
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

let x be the other leg to be found, then

155² = 124² + x²

24025 = 15376 + x² ( subtract 15376 from both sides )

8649 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{8649} = x

Hence x = 93 cm ← length of other leg → a

Which of the following give the highest future value is 6000000 is invested at 6% for 3 years​
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$5084745.76271

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Final amount= $6000000

Rate=6%

Time= 3 years

Now let us find the initial amount which is the principal

using the simple interest formula we have

6000000 = P(1+0.06*3)

6000000 =P(1+0.18)

6000000 =P*1.18

P= 6000000 /1.18

P=$5084745.76271

Hence the initial deposite is $5084745.76271
