Good morning.

We have:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that 

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}

We add the vector -a to both sides:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}


Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

The magnitude of vector b is 47 units

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Vector is quantity that has magnitude and direction.

One example of a vector is displacement.

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

This problem is about Vector Diagram.

<em>Assume :</em>

<em>Unit vector in the positive y-direction are </em>\widehat{j}

<em>Unit vector in the negative y-direction are </em>- \widehat{j}

\texttt{ }

<em>Vector \overrightarrow{a} has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction :</em>

\boxed{ \overrightarrow{a} = 29 \widehat{j} } → <em>Equation 1</em>

\texttt{ }

<em>The resultant vector \overrightarrow{a} + vector \overrightarrow{b} points in the negative y-direction with a magnitude of 18 units :</em>

\overrightarrow{a} + \overrightarrow{b} = -18 \widehat{j}

29 \widehat{j} + \overrightarrow{b} = -18 \widehat{j} ← <em>Equation 1</em>

\overrightarrow{b} = -18 \widehat{j} - 29 \widehat{j}

\boxed {\overrightarrow{b} = -47 \widehat{j}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

Magnitude of vector |\overrightarrow{b}| is 47 units

\texttt{ }

<em>The vector diagram of this problem can be drawn as seen in the </em><em>attachment.</em>

Blue arrow represents vector \overrightarrow{a}

Green arrow represents vector \overrightarrow{b}

Black arrow represents vector \overrightarrow{a} + vector \overrightarrow{b}

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures ? and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsep
anastassius [24]

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures higher than nameplate ratings and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsepower.

<h3>What is an electric vehicle (EV)?</h3>

An EV stands for an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles (EVs) are autos that are powered totally or partially by electricity.

Electric cars are extremely cost-effective to run because they have fewer moving parts to maintain and use little to no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel).

Hence, three-phase motors operating with phase imbalance run at temperatures over nameplate limits, which prevents the motor from producing its rated horsepower.

A binary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. The period of
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force isa =   \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}

Gravitational forceF= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}

we know that

v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}

solving for

R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}

F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}

F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}

a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}

a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}

we know that

f =ma

G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}

solving for m

m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}

m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

The difference in outcome between the potential energy in a marshmallow burned over a campfire on the end of a stick and in one
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

How fast and efficient the energy is released.

Explanation:

Before burning the marshmallow energy is stored in it in the form of chemical bond energy or chemical potential energy. So upon burning this energy is released. So there will be a difference in energy release from a burned marshmallow and the one we eat straight from package.

Please help me thank you !!!!
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<em>UP</em>

Explanation:

heat flows from higher level to lower level

( higher concentration to lower concentration )

and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .
