Resolve the following vectors into components:

Mathematics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]2 years ago

a. Vector v resolved into components is v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

b. Vector w resolved into components is w = 0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

<h3>a. How to resolve vector v into components?</h3>

A vector in 2 dimension is given by r = xi + yj

where

  • x = x- component = rcosθ and
  • y = y-component = rsinθ
  • r = length of vector and
  • θ = angle between vector and x - axis.

Given that the vector v in 2-space of length 3 pointing up at an angle of π/4 measured from the positive x-axis, we have that,

  • r = 3 and
  • θ = π/4

So, v = xi + yj

x =  rcosθ = 3cosπ/4

= 3 × 1/√2

= 3/√2 × √2/√2

= 3√2/2

y =  rsinθ

= 3sinπ/4

= 3 × 1/√2

= 3/√2 × √2/√2

= 3√2/2

So, v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

Vector v resolved into components is v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

<h3>b. How to resolve vector w into components?</h3>

A vector in 3 dimension is given by r = xi + yj + zk

where

  • x = x- component = rsinαcosθ and
  • y = y-component = rsinαsinθ
  • z = z-component = rcosα
  • r = length of vector and
  • θ = angle between vector and x - axis.
  • α = angle between vector and z - axis

Given that the vector w in 3-space of length 1 lying in the yz-plane pointing upwards at an angle of 2π/3 measured from the positive x-axis, we have that,

  • r = 1 and
  • θ = π/2  (since the vector is in the yz-plane)
  • Now, π - 2π/3 = π/3(angle between w and negative y-axis)
  • so, α = π/2 - π/3 = π/6(angle between w and positive z-axis)

So, v = xi + yj + zk

x =  rsinαcosθ

= 1 × sin(π/6)cos(π/2)

= 1 × 1/2 × 0

= 0

y = rsinαcosθ

= 1 × sin(π/6)sin(π/2)

= 1 × 1/2 × 1

= 1/2

z = rcosα

= 1 × cos(π/6)

= 1 × √3/2

= √3/2

So, w =  0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

Vector w resolved into components is w = 0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

How do you determine whether a sum will be positive, negative, or 0 when adding a positive and a negative integer?
professor190 [17]
If the integers have the same absolute value ... they're the same number
but with different signs ... then their sum is zero.

Example:    (plus) 927 added to (negative) 927  =  zero


If the integers have different absolute values ... they're different numbers with different
signs ... then their sum has the same sign as the one with the bigger absolute value.

Examples:

==>   (plus) 92 added to (negative) 91
         92 and 91 are 1 number apart on the number line.
         The positive number is bigger than the negative number.
         So the sum is  +1 . 

==>    (plus) 35 added to (negative) 37
          35 and 37 are 2 numbers apart on the number line.
          The negative number is bigger than the positive one.
          So the sum is  -2 .

Answer: I wow I don't know about the whole page but (Question 2 ) 24 multiplied by b equals number of mangoes in b boxes

Step-by-step explanation: I hope this makes sense.

b can be replaced with any number you can create a number sentence by plugging in 4 for example 24 * 4 = 96 so there is a total of 96 mangoes if b= 4

What can you say about the sum of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1? that is, evaluate 1, 1c3, 1c3c5, 1c3c5c7, and so on,
Mice21 [21]

Let us add consecutive odd numbers and try to find any relationship.

1. 1

2. 1+3 = 4 ( square of 2 i.e 2^{2} )

3. 1+3+5 = 9 ( 3^{2} )

4.  1+3+5+7 =  16 (4^{2} )

5. 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 (5^{2} )

6. 1+3+5+7+9+11 = 36 ( 6^{2} )

7. 1+3+5+7+9+11+13 = 49 (7^{2} )

If we notice, the sum of the consecutive odd integers in each case is equal to the square of the place where it lies. For example, the sum of numbers in seventh place is equal to 7^{2}. The sum of the numbers in the fifth line is equal to 5^{2}.
