vector u has a magnitude of 20 and direction of 0°.vector v has amagnitude of 40and a direction of 60°.find the magnitude and di
pantera1 [17]

Addition of vectors:

vector u

has a magnitude of 20 and a direction of 0º with respect to the horizontal, vector v has a magnitude of 40 and a direction of 60º with respect to the horizontal.

a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant to the nearest whole

number.

Vector Sum:

The resultant of two vectors is simply the vector sum of the vectors. There are a handful of ways to present the resultant factor; the notation that shows the vector magnitude and direction is called the polar vector notation. An example of a vector presented in polar vector notation is

a∠θ where a is the magnitude and θis the angle that the vector makes with the horizontal axis.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's first present the vectors in rectangular vector notation.

For the vector →u of magnitude 20 and direction 0∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →u=^i20.

For the vector →v

of magnitude 40 and direction 60∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →v=^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘.

The resultant vector →w is the vector sum of the vectors, i.e.

→w=→u+→v

=^i20+^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘

=^i(20+40cos60∘)+^j(40sin60∘)

=^i40+^j20√3

For a vector ^ix+^jy, the magnitude of the vector is √x2+y2 and the direction above the horizontal axis is θ=tan−1(yx).

Let's use the formulas:

|→w|∠θ=√(40)2+(20√3)2∠tan−1(20√340)≈52.9∠40.9∘

The magnitude of the vector is about 53 units in the direction 41-degrees above the horizontal axis.

Suppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 light-years away. Their message e
Grace [21]

Answer:

The duration  is  T  =72 \  years /tex]Explanation:From the question we are told that     The  distance is  [tex]D  =  35 \ light-years = 35 *  9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \  m

  Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as

         t =  \frac{D}{c}

Here c  is the speed of light with the value  c =  3.08 *10^{8} \  m/s

=>     t =  \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}

=>     t =  1.075 *10^9 \ s

converting to years

           t =  1.075 *10^9 *  3.17 *10^{-8}

              t =  1.075 *10^9 *  3.17 *10^{-8}

            t =  34 \ years

Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as

      T  =  2*  t  +  2 + 2

=>   T  =  2* 34  +  2 + 2

=>   [tex]T  =72 \  years /tex]

17. (a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.
