Answer:

(a) 7 m

(b) 1  m

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement  vector 'a' is 3 m

The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.

The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.

(a)

Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

|\overrightarrow c|=|\overrightarrow a|+|\overrightarrow b|\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=3 + 4 = 7\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.

(b)

When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

|\overrightarrow c|=||\overrightarrow a|-|\overrightarrow b||\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=|3 - 4| = 1\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.

You must times the area by the volume, look at it as if the area is just one of 23 layers that makes up the volume.
1960x23=45080
so no it cannot be carried as it is 5080cm^3 over the limit

A virtual image is formed 17.0 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 39.0 cm. (a) Find the position of the ob
Wittaler [7]

Explanation:

Image distance, v = -17 cm (-ve for virtual image)

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 39 cm

Focal length, f = -19.5 cm (-ve for a concave mirror)

(a) Using mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{-19.5}-\dfrac{1}{(-17)}  

u = 132.6 cm    

So, the object is placed 132.6 cm in front of the mirror.

(b) Magnification of the  mirror, m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-17}{132.6}

m = -0.128

Hence, this is the required solution.

3. A model rocket is launched straight upward at 58.8 m/s.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

a). 6 seconds

b). 12 seconds

c). 176.4 meters

Explanation:

a). Equation to be applied to calculate the time taken by the rocket to reach at the peak height,

   v = u - gt

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity = 58.8 m per sec

g = gravitational pull = 9.8 m per sec²

t = duration of the flight

At the peak height,

v = 0

Therefore, 0 = 58.8 - (9.8)(t)

t =  \frac{58.8}{9.8}

 = 6 seconds

b). Total time of flight = 2(Time taken to go up)

                                    = 2×6

                                    = 12 sec

c). Formula to get the peak height is,

   h=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

   h = (58.8)6 - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(6)^2

      = 352.8 - 176.4

      = 176.4 meters
