Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7cm^3).

Density is \frac{mass}{volume}.

So the density of that piece of metal is \frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

A square plate of edge length 9.0 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 6.90 10-6 C. Estimate the magnitude E of the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E= 4.35*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Let's find the area charge density of the plate

α= 6.9*10^-6/9*10^-2 = 7.7*10^-5C/m2

Now we can calculate the electric field just of the plate

E =α/2e =7.7*10^-5/2*8.85*10^-12 = 4.35*10^6 N/C
