Find the magnitude of this vector:

Physics
1 answer:
xeze [42]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: = 25. 5 m

Explanation:

  • 2-D vectors can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem:  
  • a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}
  • The hypotenuse, or longest side is not given and that is what must be solved for
  • Direction can be omitted as the question only asks for magnitude
  • Magnitude: is the distance or quantity in which an object moves during motion

Solve for C using Pythagorean theorem:

1. \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}  }=c

2.  \sqrt{22.2 m ^{2} +12.6m^{2} } =c

3. 25.52646 m= c

  • round to lowest number of significant digits  when dividing and multiplying
  • rounded to 3 significant digits

∴ Magnitude of the vector is 25.5 m

How much work in joules is required to lift a 23 kg box up from the ground to your waist that is 1.0 meters high, carry it 6 met
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

2682

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

Work = Force x distance

         =  mg x d

So, work done in lifting the box of 23 kg up to my waist of 1 m high is :

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 1

   = 211.14

Now work done carrying the box horizontally 6 meters across the room is

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 6

   = 1266.84

Work done in placing the box on the shelf that is 5.7 m above the ground is

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 5.7

   = 1203.49

So the total work done is = 211.14 + 1266.84 + 1203.49

                                          = 2681.47

                                          = 2682 (rounding off)

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the balls kinetic energy the greatest?
madam [21]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

So kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity.

Velocity is maximum when the player hits the ball.

So kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

It is 5.5 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10 km/h
stealth61 [152]

Explanation:

Displacement = 5 km

A.

Converting km/h to m/s,

10 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s

= 25/9 m/s

Remember,

700 watt = 700 J/s

Velocity = displacement/time

Time = 5000/(25/9)

= 1800 s

Energy = power * time

= 700 * 1800

= 1,260,000

= 1260 kJ

B.

Converting km/h to m/s,

3 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s

= 5/6 m/s

290 watt = 290 J/s

Velocity = displacement/time

Time = 5000/(5/6)

= 6000 s

Energy = power * time

= 290 * 6000

= 1,740,000

= 1740 kJ

C.

Walking burns more energy; 1,740,000 joules. It burns more because you walk for a greater period of time.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C)T

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is:

T=2\pi\sqrt\frac{m}{k}

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.
