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°.

2. Determine the current in a 120-watt bulb plugged into a 120-volt outlet.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

1 ampere

Explanation:

Power = VI

V = voltage

I = current

Given

Power = 120 watts

V = 120 volts

Therefore

120 = 120 x I

Divide both sides by 120

120/120 = 120/120 x I

1 = I

I = 1 ampere

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200   ⇒     x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒     x = 2000 Km
