If a set of displacement vectors laid head to tail make a closed polygon, what is the resultant vector?

Physics
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
4 0

The resultant vector is zero.

Explanation:

When you add displacement vectors using the head to tail method, you follow this procedure:

- Draw the first vector

- Draw the second vector, with its tail starting from the head of the first vector

- Draw the third vector, with its tail starting from the head of the second vector

.. and so on.

The resultant of the all vectors will be the vector connecting the tail of the 1st vector to the head of the last vector.

In this problem, the vectors make a closed polygon: this means that the head of the last vector coincides with the tail of the first vector.

Therefore, this means that the length of the resultant vector is zero.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J
