Linear Momentum is a vector quantity.
 p = mass * Velocity
We need to know the mass, and velocity (magnitude and direction)

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x

dexar [7]

Answer: $2.99(10)^{-8} m/s$

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

$2.99(10)^{-8}$

The turnbuckle is tightened until the tension in the cable AB equals 2.3 kN. Determine the vector expression for the tension T a

brilliants [131]

Answer:

a) 0.83984 i + 0.41992 j - 2.0996 k KN

b) T_ac = 1.972888 KN

Explanation:

Given:

- The tension in cable AB = 2.3 KN

Find:

a) Determine the vector expression for the tension T as a force acting on member AD.

b) Also find the magnitude of the projection of T along the line AC.

Solution:

part a)

- Find unit vector AB:

vector (AB) = 2 i + j - 5 k

mag (AB) = sqrt (2^2 + 1^2 + 5^2)

mag (AB) = sqrt(30)

unit (AB) = ( 1 / sqrt(30) )* ( 2 i + j - 5 k )

- Find Tension vector:

vector (T) = unit(AB)* 2.3 KN

= 0.83984 i + 0.41992 j - 2.0996 k

- The projection of T onto AC can be found from the dot product of vector T to unit vector (AC)

- For unit vector (AC)

vector (AC) = 2 i - 2 j - 5 k

mag (AC) = sqrt (2^2 + 2^2 + 5^2)

mag (AC) = sqrt(33)

unit (AC) = ( 1 / sqrt(33) )* ( 2 i - 2 j - 5 k )

- Compute the projection:

T_ac = vector T . unit (AC)

T_ac = (0.83984 i + 0.41992 j - 2.0996 k) . ( 1 / sqrt(33) )* ( 2 i - 2 j - 5 k )

T_ac = 0.2923947572 - 0.146973786 - 1.827467232

T_ac = 1.972888 KN
