Answer:

Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. 

Explanation:

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.

Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

∑F = F - W = 0

F = W

so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N

A 2.50-m segment of wire carries 1000 A current and feels a 4.00-N repulsive force from a parallel wire 5.00 cm away. What is th

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The current is $I_b = 400 \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the segment is $l = 2.50 \ m$

The current is $I_a = 1000 \ A$

The force felt is $F = 4.0 \ N$

The distance of the second wire is $d = 5.0 \ cm = 0.05 \ m$

Generally the current on the second wire is mathematically represented as

$I_b = \frac{2 \pi * r * F }{ l * \mu_o * I_a }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value $\mu_o = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2$

=> $I_b = \frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.05 * 4 }{ 2.50 * 4\pi *10^{-7} * 1000 }$

=> $I_b = 400 \ A$

A spinning ice skater will speed up if he brings his arms close to his body. Which of the following statements explains this phe

xxMikexx [17]

A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!
