The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component.
The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)
From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
RV = Vy
Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
RV = Vx
Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.
Yes. Your answer is correct. I hope you do well on the quiz or whatever it is.
Answer:
Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning or by astronomical objects. Artificially generated radio waves are used for fixed and mobile radio communication, broadcasting, radar and other navigation systems, communications satellites, computer networks and innumerable other applications.
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) 7.72×10⁵ J
(b) 4000 J
(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,
Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1
Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity
(a)
For a moving automobile,
Ek = 1/2mv².
Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s
Substitute into equation 1
Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)
Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J
(b)
For a sprinting runner,
Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)
Ek = 40(100)
Ek = 4000 J
(c)
For a moving electron,
Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s
Substitute into equation 1 above,
Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²
Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J
If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.
In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:

the magnitude of the force changes as follows:

so, the force increases by a factor 4.
