Two particles are traveling through space. At time t the first particle is at the point (−1 + t, 4 − t, −1 + 2t) and the second
Pie

Answer:

Yes, the paths of the two particles cross.

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

Explanation:

In order to find the point of intersection, we need to set both locations equal to one another. It should be noted however, that the time for each particle can vary as we are finding the point where the <u>paths</u> meet, not the point where the particles meet themselves.

So, we can name the time of the first particle T_F ,  and the time of the second particle T_S.

Setting the locations equal, we get the following equations to solve for T_F and T_S:

(-1 + T_F) = (-7 + 2T_S)                     Equation 1

(4 - T_F) = (-6 + 2T_S)                        Equation 2

(-1 + 2T_F) = (-1 + T_S)                     Equation 3

Solving these three equations simultaneously we get:

T_F = 2 seconds

T_S = 4 seconds

Since, we have an answer for when the trajectories cross, we know for a fact that they indeed do cross.

The point of crossing can be found by using the value of T_F or T_S in the location matrices. Doing this for the first particle we get:

Location of path intersection = ( -1 + 2 , 4 - 2 , -1 + 2(2) )

Location of path intersection = ( 1 , 2 , 3)

Why is sustainable use important?
marusya05 [52]
To make sure that we have enough resourses to sustain ourselves. You see, if we use up, say, all water on earth, then obviously we won't have any more and we'll die.

How is the voltage V across the resistor related to the current I and the resistance R of the resistor? (Use I for current and R
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This relationship is explained by Ohm's law

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit or a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across the resistor and inversely proportional to the resistance. Where current is i, voltage is v and resistance is r, Ohm's law can be represented mathematically as

V= IR
