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.

The expression 2x + 50 represents the elevation above sea level, in meters, of a rock climber after x minutes of climbing. What
vova2212 [387]
We let y equal to the elevation above sea level so that the elevation of the rock climber after x minutes of climbing would be:

y = 2x + 50

His initial height can be calculated when x is equal to zero it is when the climber is not yet climbing. Therefore, the rock climber'sinitial height above sea level would be 50 meters.

A model rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 250 ft per second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket t seconds after t
diamong [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  {2.96, 12.66}

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows the rocket will be 600 feet up after 2.96 seconds, and again at 12.66 seconds.

__

You can solve the equation h = 600 to find the times.

  -16t^2 +250t = 600

  -16(t^2 -15.625t) = 600

  -16(t^2 -15.625t +7.8125²) = 600 -16(7.8125²)

  -16(t -7.8125)² = -376.5625

  t -7.8125 = √(376.5625/16) ≈ ±4.8513

  t = 7.8125 ± 4.8513 ≈ {2.9612, 12.6638}

The rocket will be 600 ft above the ground 2.96 and 12.66 seconds after launch.
