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.

Waves in a fish bowl jostled by the Thingamajigger move to the sides at an average velocity of 0.50 m/s. If they occur once ever
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

In this problem, we have:

v = 0.50 m/s is the average velocity of the wave

T = 0.25 s is the period of the wave

We can find the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.25 s}=4 Hz

The problem is asking us to find the distance between two crests of the wave: this is equivalent to the wavelength. The wavelength is related to the average velocity and the frequency by the formula:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Substituting the numerical values, we find

\lambda=\frac{0.5 m/s}{4 Hz}=0.125 m

A 88.6-kg wrecking ball hangs from a uniform heavy-duty chain having a mass of 26.9kg . (Use 9.80m/s2 for the gravitational acce
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Tension maximum =1131.9 N

Tension minimum =868.28 N

Tension at 3/4= 1065.995 N

Explanation:

a)

Given Mass of wrecking ball M1=88.6 Kg

Mass of the chain M2=26.9 Kg

Maximum Tension Tension max=(M1+M2) × (9.8 m/s²)

=(88.6+26.9) × (9.8 m/s²)

=115.5 × 9.8 m/s²

Tension maximum =1131.9 N

b)

Minimum Tension Tension minimum=Mass of the wrecking ball only × 9.8 m/s²

=88.6 × 9.8 m/s²

Tension minimum =868.28 N

c)

Tension at 3/4 from the bottom of the chain =In this part you have to use 75% of the chain so you have to take 3/4 of 26.9

= (3/4 × 26.9)+88.9) × 9.8 m/s²

= (20.175+88.6) × 9.8 m/s²

=(108.775) × 9.8 m/s²

=1065.995 N
