Answer:

  • The magnitude of the vector \vec{C} is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)

So, for our vectors:

\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ ,  ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}

|\vec{C}| =107.76 m

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

I hope it helps you !

Rearrange the formula F=ma, and solve for the variable (a)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

a = F/m

Explanation:

So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m
