) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. $v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. $v_{car}=6.3m/s\\v_{truck}=-6.3m/s$

C. ΔK $=-4.13x10^3J$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

$v_{1}=5.79m/s\\m_{1}=102kg\\v_{2}=18.5m/s\\m_{2}=103kg$

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

$m_{3}=102kg+103kg=205kg$

From linear momentum we got that:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}$

$v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3} }=\frac{(102kg)(5.79m/s)+(103kg)(18.5m/s)}{(205kg)}$

$v_{3}=12.17m/s$

B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:

For the car

$v_{car}=v_{f}-v_{o}=12.17m/s-5.79m/s=6.38m/s$

For the truck

$v_{truck}=12.17m/s-18.5m/s=-6.3m/s$

C. The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔK= $K_{2}-K_{1} =\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2})$

ΔK= $\frac{1}{2}(205)(12.17)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(102)(5.79)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(103)(18.5)^{2})=-4.13x10^{3}J$

ΔK $=-4.13x10^{3}J$

wildlife biologists are working to save some unique birds in the forest of north georgia.which of these questions must be answer

Maru [420]

Extinct<span> might be a word you associate with animals that lived long ago, like the dinosaurs, but did you know that over 18,000 species are classified as "threatened" (susceptible to extinction) today? Scientists involved in wildlife conservation have a tough job; they are in charge of determining what needs to be done to prevent a species from becoming extinct. Habitat, food supply, and impacts of local human populations are just a few of the factors these scientists take into account. It is a lot to keep track of for a single location, but the job becomes even harder when it is a migratory animal. In this science project, you will get a firsthand look at their job. You will access </span>real<span> data about migratory birds and use satellite images to analyze their habitats, then come up with a conservation plan to protect the species from extinction.</span>

Meiosis creates the gamete cells, because these cells are used in reproduction they only have 26 chromosomes two of these cells join together to make a full 46 chromosomes.

Hope this helps! :)
