vector a = 3i - 2j - k and vector b = i + 4j + k, the unit vector, n, normal to the plane is (7i - j + 7k)/3√11

What is a vector?

A vector is a quantity having direction as well as magnitude.

Vectors can especially be used in determining the position of one point in space relative to another.

From the question,

The normal vector to the plane is c = a × b

we have that, a = 3i - 2j - k and b = i + 4j + k,

c = a × b

c = (3i - 2j - k) × (i + 4j + k)

= 3i × i + (- 2j) × i + (-k) × i + 3i × 4j + (- 2j) × 4j + (-k) × 4j + 3i × k + (- 2j) × k + (-k) × k

= 3i × i - 2j × i - k × i + 12i × j - 8j × j - 4k × 4j + 3i × k - 2j × k - k × k

It is known that

i × i = 0,

j × j = 0 and

k × k = 0.

we also have that

c = 3(0) - 2(-k) - (-j) + 12k - 8(0) - 16(-i) + 3(-j) - 2i - 0

c = 0 + 2k + j + 12k - 0 + 16i - 3j - 2i

c = 16i - 2i + j - 3j + 2k + 12k

c = 14i -2j + 14k

The unit vector normal to the plane n = c/ |c|

where |c| is the magnitude of c

= √(14² + (-2)² + 14²) = √(196 + 4 + 196)

= √396

= √(36 × 11)

= 6√11

we can write that n = c/|c|

= (14i -2j + 14k)/6√11

we simplify further

= 2(7i - j + 7k)/6√11

= (7i - j + 7k)/3√11

So, the unit vector normal to the plane is (7i - j + 7k)/3√11

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity
statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

velikii [3]

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.
