Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude

Physics
1 answer:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

The components of a vector can not have a magnitude greater than the vector itself.The magnitude of a component is always lesser than vector because the magnitude is a product of the vector and cos Ф where the value of cos Ф , x,  is -1<x<1. Additionally, applying the Pythagorean relationship, you expect the sum of squares of the components to equal the square of the magnitude of the vectors.However, there is a situation where a component of a vector has a magnitude which equals the magnitude of the vector.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

puteri [66]
Since the two waves have equal amplitudes, if the crest of one wave
meets the trough of the other one, they'll add to produce a level of zero
at that location.

Why is physics an important part of history
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

History and physics are intertwined through all the revolutionary thinkers, scientists, and people who studied these ideas. For example, many historical thinkers such as Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei not only had revolutionary ideas, but they also changed life forever as the people knew it. It shocked the people and taught them new things, and upset the church.
