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}

The magnification of a microscope is increased when_________.
azamat

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is  

M = M_o \times M_e  

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and  

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.  

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.  

Magnification,  

M \propto \dfrac{1}{f}

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B

Why do ions stick together?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The ions stick together because of the electrostatic attraction between ions that are near one another.Electrostatic attraction refers to the electrostatic force of long-range interaction occurring between the attractive electrostatic adsorption in aqueous solution with differently charged particles or uncharged particles.

Hope this helps!! ;)

Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.20-m length of the other.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Incomplete question.The complete question is attached below as screenshot along with figure

Answer:

F=6.00*10^{-6}N

Force is repulsive

Explanation:

Given data

Current I₁=5.00A

Current I₂=2.00A

Length L=1.20 m

Radius r=0.400m

To find

Force F

Solution

As the force is repulsive because currents are in opposite direction

From repulsive force we know that:

F=\frac{u_{o}I_{1}I_{2}L}{2\pi r}

Substitute the given values

F=\frac{u_{o}(5.00A)(2.00A)(1.20m)}{2\pi (0.400m)}\\ F=6.00*10^{-6}N
