Answer:

Explanation:

A = 3m

B = 4 m

let the angle between the two vectors is θ.

the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos\theta }

(a) R = 7 m

So, 7=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+2\times 3\times 4 Cos\theta }

49 = 9 + 16 + 24 Cosθ

Cosθ = 1

θ = 0°

Thus, the two vectors are inclined at 0°.

(b) R = 1 m

So, 1=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+2\times 3\times 4 Cos\theta }

1 = 9 + 16 + 24 Cosθ

Cosθ = - 1

θ = 180°

Thus, the two vectors are inclined at 180°.

(c) R = 5 m

So, 5=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}+2\times 3\times 4 Cos\theta }

25 = 9 + 16 + 24 Cosθ

Cosθ = 0

θ = 90°

Thus, the two vectors are inclined at 90°.

You place a 0.17 kg can of soup and a 0.31 kg jar of pickles on the kitchen counter, separated by a distance of 0.42 m. What is
tangare [24]

1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { is the force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles. }

<u>Explanation</u>:

According to Newton's third law that each force has an equal and opposite reaction force in this case both of the jars will exert the same force an each other

. The force is given by

\mathrm{F}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where, F = force, G=\text { gravitational constant }=\left(6.67 \times 10^{-11}\right), mass \left(\mathrm{M}_{1}\right)=0.17 \mathrm{kg}, mass \left M_{2}= 0.31 \mathrm{kg} and Distance(r) = 0.42 m.

Substitute the values in the formula.

\mathrm{F}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 0.17 \times 0.31}{0.42^{2}}

\mathrm{F}=\frac{3.51 \times 10^{-12}}{0.176}

\mathrm{F}=1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N}

\text { The force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles is } 1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { . }

What kind of energy does a rubber band have when it is stretched?
RideAnS [48]
Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

IRINA_888 [86]

Complete question :

NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?

Answer:

601000 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²

Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²

Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :

Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:

(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;

(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01

Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :

6.01 * (1 × 10^5)

6.01 × 10^5

= 601000 N
