A vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and points in the −y-direction, while a vector B has triple the magnitude of A and points

in the +x-direction. What are the magnitude and direction of the following vectors? Give the directions of each as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-direction.

Answer:

A+B; 5√5 units, 341.57°

A-B; 5√5 units, 198.43°

B-A; 5√5 units, 18.43°

Explanation:

Given A = 5 units

By vector notation and the axis of A, it is represented as -5j

B = 3 × 5 = 15 units

Using the vector notations and the axis, B is +15i. The following vectors ate taking as the coordinates of A and B

(a) A + B = -5j + 15i

A+B = 15i -5j

|A+B| = √(15)²+(5)²

= 5√5 units

∆ = arctan(5/15) = 18.43°

The angle ∆ is generally used in the diagrams

∆= 18.43°

The direction of A+B is 341.57° based in the condition given (see attachment for diagrams

(b) A - B = -5j -15i

A-B = -15i -5j

|A-B|= √(15)²+(-5)²

|A-B| = √125

|A-B| = 5√5 units

The direction is 180+18.43°= 198.43°

See attachment for diagrams

(c) B-A = 15i -( -5j) = 15i + 5j

|B-A| = 5√5 units

The direction is 18.43°

See attachment for diagram

Anettt [7]

Answer:

   v₀ = 60.38 mi / h

With this stopping distance, the starting speed should have been 60.38 mi/h, which is much higher than the maximum speed allowed.

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by using Newton's second law

Y axis

        N-W = 0

        N = W

X axis

         fr = m a

the expression for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

we substitute

        μ mg = m a

        μ g = a

calculate us

         a = 0.620  9.8

         a = 6.076 m / s²

now we can use the kinematics relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 a x

suppose v = 0

          v₀ = \sqrt{2ax}Ra 2ax

let's calculate

         v₀ = \sqrt{2 \ 6076 \ 60}

         v₀ = 27.00 m / s

let's slow down to the english system

          v₀ = 27.0 m / s (3.28 ft / 1m) (1 mile / 5280 ft) (3600s / 1h)

          v₀ = 60.38 mi / h

With this stopping distance, the starting speed should have been 60.38 mi/h, which is much higher than the maximum speed allowed.

A 0.0434-m3 container is initially evacuated. Then, 4.19 g of water is placed in the container, and, after some time, all of the
adell [148]

Answer:

P =18760.5 Pa

Explanation:

Given that

Volume ,V= 0.0434 m³

Mass ,m= 4.19 g = 0.00419 kg

T= 417 K

If we assume that water vapor is behaving like a ideal gas ,then we can use ideal gas equation

Ideal gas equation    P V = m R T

p=Pressure ,V = Volume ,m =mass

T=Temperature ,R=Universal gas constant

Now by putting the values

P V = m R T

For water R= 0.466 KJ/kgK

P x 0.0434 = 0.00419 x 0.466 x 417

P =18.7605 KPa

P =18760.5 Pa

Therefore the answer is 18760.5 Pa

No. You cannot rule out the battery even after the open circuit voltage measurement. The open-circuit voltage may not have changed but the battery's internal resistance may have greatly increased.

Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.
