The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component. 

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
              RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
              RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
             RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.700m

(b) k = 80.6N/m

(c) x = -0.699m

(d) x = -0.350m

(e) t = 0.168s

Explanation:

Given the equation of motion for the spring

X = 0.700cos(12.0t), m = 0.56kg

(a) A = amplitude = 0.700m

(b) The angular velocity ω = 12rad/s

ω = √(k/m)

ω² = k/m

k = m×ω² = 0.56×12² = 80.6N/m

Spring constant k = 80.6N/m

(c) T = 2π/ω = 2π/12

T = 0.524s

At t = T/2 = 0.524/2 = 0.262s

So x = 0.700cos(12×0.262) = –0.699m

(d) At t = 2/3×T = 2×0.524/3 = 0. 349s

x = 0.700cos(12×0.349) = –0.350m

(e) to find t at x = -0.300m

–0.300 = 0.700cos(12t)

–0.300/0.700 = cos(12t)

cos(12t) = –0.429

12t = cos-¹(-0.429)

12t = 2.01

t = 2.01/12

t = 0.168s

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.25 m

0.5 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 1.25 m

Find: t

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = (-10 m/s²) t + (5 m/s)

t = 0.5 s

Compare and contrast area and volume
katovenus [111]
Area is a region bounded by a CLOSED path, curved path or path with line segments.  Area is usually a two dimensional physical quantity, a designated part on a plane.  An example the surface of a table, face of a wall or a ceiling.  It can also be a surface in 3-dimensions.  Its units are meter² or centimeter² or feet²  etc. A large agricultural field is a good example of an area.  Normally and ideally no object can reside or exist with in an area. An object requires a volume.  It is a collection of all points enclosed or bounded by the boundary or closed path.  It does not have any thickness.

Volume is a 3-dimensional quantity. A physical body occupies space with its material components. It is the amount of space occupied, that is its volume. Any existing body occupying some space has a mass and volume.  A mass having a volume, has surface area and thickness, a height perpendicular to its surface at each point on the surface.
It is expressed as meter³, feet³ etc.
Volume is a product of surface area (cross-section) and length - for example for a wire or rod.
