Resultant of a pair of 100 km/h velocity vectors that are at right angels to each other
1 answer:
The resultant of the two vectors is 141 km/h.
Explanation:
When two vectors are at right angles to each other, their resultant can be calculated by using the Pythagorean's theorem:
where
A is the magnitude of the first vector
B is the magnitude of the second vector
In this problem, we have two velocity vectors of magnitude
A = 100 km/h
B = 100 km/h
Substituting into the formula, we find their resultant:

<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>
