Answer:

unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

Explanation:

Given:

                            v =  (-23.2, -104.4, 46.4) m/s

Above expression describes spacecraft's velocity vector v.

Find:

Find unit vector in the direction of spacecraft velocity v.

Solution:

Step 1: Compute magnitude of velocity vector.

                            mag (v) = sqrt ( 23.2^2 + 104.4^2 + 46.4^2)

                            mag (v) = 116.58 m/s

Step 2: Compute unit vector unit (v)

                            unit (v) = vec (v) / mag (v)

                            unit (v) = [ -23.2 i -104.4 j + 46.4 k ] / 116.58

                            unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

A football kicker kicks a ball with a mass of .42 kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s squared. How much fo
mrs_skeptik [129]

To find the force we use the formula,

F = ma , where m is mass and a acceleration

Using the formula,

F = ma

F = 0.42 x 14.8

F = 6.216 N / 6.22 N

The electric field in a particular thundercloud is 3.8 x 105 N/C. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of an electron in this fiel
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Answer:

6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 3.8 x 10^5 N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the electron.

The force due to electric field on electron is

F = q E

where q be the charge of electron and E be the electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.8 x 10^5

F = 6.08 x 10^-14 N

According to Newton's second law

Force  = mass x acceleration

6.08 x 10^-14 = 9.1 x 10^-31 x a

a = 6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

A car is moving at a initial velocity of 20 meters per second accelerates at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared for 4 secon
Brrunno [24]
Answered using calculus.
Antidifferentiated the acceleration to get velocity. Added variable c as we do not know if there was an extra number there yet.
Knowing that when time is 0, the velocity is 20, we can substitute those numbers into the equation and find that c = 20.
Now we have full velocity equation: v = 1.5t + 20
Now we substitute 4 into t to find out the velocity after 4 seconds. This gives us the final answer of 26m/s
