Question:

Vector A has x and y components of −8.80 cm  and 18.0 cm , respectively; vector B has x and  y components of 12.2 cm and −6.80 cm , respectively.  If A − B +3 C = 0, what are the components of C?

Answer:

x = ___ cm

y = ___ cm

Answer:

x = 7.0cm

y = -8.27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a vector F, with x and y components of a and b respectively, its unit vector representation is as follows;

F = ai + bj              [Where i and j are unit vectors in the x and y directions respectively]

Using this analogy, let's represent vectors A and B from the question in their unit vector notation.

<em>A has an x-component of -8.80cm and y-component of 18.0cm</em>

<em>B has an x-component of 12.2cm and y-component of -6.80cm,</em>

In unit vector notation, these become;

A = -8.80i + 18.0j

B = 12.2 i + (-6.80)j = 12.2i - 6.80j

Also, there is a third vector C. Let the x and y components of C be a and b respectively. Therefore,

C = ai + bj

Now,

A - B + 3C = 0                [substitute the vectors]

=> [-8.80i + 18.0j] - [12.2 i -6.80j] + [3(ai + bj)] =  0        [open brackets]

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3(ai + bj) =  0

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3ai + 3bj =  0

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3ai + 3bj =  0  [collect like terms and solve]

=> -8.80i  - 12.2 i  + 3ai + 6.80j + 18.0j + 3bj =  0

=> -21.0 i  + 3ai + 24.8j + 3bj =  0       [re-arrange]

=> 3ai + 3bj = 21.0i - 24.8j

Comparing both sides shows that;

3a = 21.0  -------------(i)

3b = -24.8    -----------(ii)

From equation (i)

3a = 21.0

a = 21.0 / 3 = 7.0

From equation (ii)

3b = -24.8

b = -24.8 / 3

b = -8.27

Therefore, the x-component and y-component of vector B which are a and b, are 7.0cm and -8.27cm respectively.

Janye stopped to get gas before going on a road trip. The tank already had 4 gallons of gas in it. Which equation relates the to
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total number of gasoline is given to be "y", with an initial quantity of filled gasoline to be "4" and the quantity of unfilled gasoline to be "x".

Therefore, the summation of the filled and unfilled quantity of gasoline will be "x + 4" which is equal to the total capacity of the tank "y".
