Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

<h2>a) </h2>

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B} gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors \vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q} and \vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)

\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \  \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \  \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \  \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = 0 \  \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)

<h2>B)</h2>

We know that \vec{A} and \vec{B} are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

|\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}

so:

\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}

\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}

35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}

17.55 \ units \  of \ area =  area_{triangle}

How much work must be done by frictional forces in slowing a 1000-kg car from 26.1 m/s to rest? a.3.41 x 10^5 J b.2.73 x 10^5 J
algol13

Answer:

Work done by the frictional force is 3.41\times 10^5\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

W=k_f-k_i

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\ kg(0^2-(26.1\ m/s)^2)

W = −340605 J

or

W=3.41\times 10^5\ J

Hence, the correct option is (a).

A volume variance is the difference between overhead at maximum production volume and that at the budgeted production volume.
umka21 [38]
The statement is not correct. Therefore, the answer is letter B. False. The actual definition of a volume variance is that it is the difference of the quantity consumed and the amount budgeted to be sold, the difference will furthermore be multiplied to the standard unit per price.

A spacecraft is separated into two parts by detonating the explosive bolts that hold them together. The masses of the parts are
nordsb [41]

Answer:

  • 0.279 m/s

Explanation:

mass (m1) = 1150 kg

mass (m2) = 1900 kg

impulse (J) = 200 N.s

With what relative speed do the two parts separate because of the detonation?

since both parts separate, their relative speed = speed of m1 + speed of m2

  • speed of m1 = \frac{J}{m} = \frac{200}{1150} = 0.174 m/s
  • speed of m2 = \frac{J}{m} = \frac{200}{1900} = 0.105 m/s
  • relative speed = 0.174 + 0.105 = 0.279 m/s
