Two or more velocities add by

1 answer:

6 0

Two or more velocities add by vector sum.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with its own intensity, direction and verse. Therefore, we cannot simply add two velocities by algebraic sum, but we need to decompose them on two axes (if we are in a 2D-plane) and calculate the resultant on each axis, and then calculate the total resultant of the two vectors, which will have its intensity, direction and verse.

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

WA = W h cos 0

WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

Sin30 = h / L

L = h / sin 30

WB = F d cos θ

WB = F L cos 30

WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

W sin 30 - fr = ma

N- Wcos30 = 0

W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

Adhira loves to ride her bike around the neighborhood. She starts riding 1.2 miles at 30° S of E. Then, she rides another 2.0 mi

zepelin [54]

Answer:

D = 1.8677 miles , θ = 24.28º at South of West

Explanation:

This is an exercise in adding vectors, the easiest way to solve them is to decompose the vectors and add each component algebraically. Let's use trigonometry

first displacement. d = 1.2 miles to 30º south of East

cos ( 360-30) = cos (-30) = x₁ / d

sin (-30) = y₁ / d

x₁ = d cos (-30)

y₁ = d sin (-30)

x₁ = 1.2 cos (-30) = 1,039 miles

y₁ = 1.2 sin (-30) = -0.6 miles

second shift. d = 2.0 miles to 20º West of South

cos (270-20) = x₂ / d

cos (250) = y₂ / d

x₂ = 2.0 cos 250 = -0.684 miles

y₂ = 2.0 sin250 = -1.879 miles

Third displacement. d = 1.6 miles to 30º South of West

cos (180 + 30) = x₃ / d

sin (210) = y₃ / d

x₃ = 1.6 cos 210 = -1.3856 miles

y₃ = 1.6 sin 210 = -0.8 miles

Fourth displacement. d = 2.6 miles to 15º West of North

cos (90 + 15) = x₄ / d

sin (105) = y₄ / d

x₄ = 2.6 cos 105 = -0.6729 miles

y₄ = 2.6 sin 105 = 2,511 miles

having all the components we add

x-axis (West-East direction)

X = x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + x₄

X = 1.039 -0.684 - 1.3846 - 0.6729

X = -1.7025 miles

Y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃ + y₄

Y = -0.6 -1.879 -0.8 +2.511

Y = -0.768

The modulus of this displacement is we use the Pythagorean theorem

D = √ (X² + Y²)

D = √ (1.7025² + 0.768²)

D = 1.8677 miles

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

tan θ = Y / X

θ = tan⁻¹ Y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.768 / 1.7025)

θ = 24.28º

as the two components are negative this angle is in the third quadrant

therefore in cardinal direction form is

θ = 24.28º at South of West
