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.

Use the graph below to answer the following question: What is happening to the object's velocity?
hjlf

The object's velocity is decreasing.

Explanation:

From graph is the attached image, we can clearly point that the velocity of this motion is decreasing with time.

Velocity is a vector quantity.

  • The y-axis represent displacement.
  • The x-axis depicts time
  • Using the graph, we know that the slope of the line on the graph gives us the velocity as it denotes the change of displacement with time.
  • When we find the slope, it will give us a negative value which shows that the body is slowing down and not increasing speed.

A heavy meterstick has a mass of 1 kg. When the meterstick is thrown like a spear past you, you measure its momentum to be 2mv.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Its length is measured to be 0.5 m

Explanation:

From theory of relativity (mass variation), we know that:

m = mo/√(1-v²/c²)

Where, m = relative mass

and, mo = rest mass

The momentum of stick while moving, will be:

P = mv

but, it is given in the form of rest mass as:

P = 2(mo)v

thus, by comparison;

2(mo)v = mv

using value of m from theory of relativity;

2(mo)v = (mo)v/√(1-v²/c²)

√(1-v²/c²) = 1/2     ______ eqn(1)

Now, for relativistic length (L), we have the formula from same theory of relativity;

L = (Lo)√(1-v²/c²)

The rest length (Lo) of meter stick is 1 m, and the remaining term on right side √(1-v²/c²), known as Lorentz Factor, can be given by eqn (1), as equal to 1/2.

Thus,

L = (1 m)(1/2)

<u>L = 0.5 m</u>

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2
