dalvyx [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.

Find a unit vector normal to the plane containing Bold u equals 2 Bold i minus Bold j minus 3 Bold k and Bold v equals negative
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}

Explanation:

It is given that,

\vec{u}=2i-j-3k

\vec{v}=-3i+j-2k

Taking the cross product of v and v such that,

\vec{w}=u\times v

\vec{w}=(2i-j-3k)\times (-3i+j-2k)

\vec{w}=5i+13j-k

|w|=\sqrt{5^2+13^2(-1)^2}

|w| = 13.92

Let \hat{w} is the unit vector normal to the plane containing u and v. So,

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{w}}{|w|}

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A plane electromagnetic wave with wavelength 3.0 m, travels in free space in the+xdirection with its electric field vector~E, of
mart [117]

Answer:

    f =1 10⁸ Hz

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is given by

          c = Lam f

In our case, the wavelength is 3.0 m, so we can clear the frequency

         f = c / Lam

         f = 3 108/3.

         f =1 10⁸ Hz
