Consider a particle with initial velocity v⃗ that has magnitude 12.0 m/s and is directed 60.0 degrees above the negative x axis.

Part A What is the x component v⃗ x of v⃗ ?
Physics

5 0

Answer:

  v_x = -6\ m/s

Explanation:

initial velocity

magnitude of velocity, v = 12 m/s

angle made of velocity with negative x-axis,θ = 60°

We need to calculate x- component of v

  v_x = v cos \theta

velocity is in negative x-direction, v = -12 m/s

now,

  v_x = -12\times cos 60^0

  v_x = -12\times 0.5

  v_x = -6\ m/s

Hence, the velocity x-component is equal to -6 m/s.

Which telescope would be better viewing a faint, distant star? Why?
grin007 [14]
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.

A 16 g piece of Styrofoam carries a net charge of -8.6 µC and floats above the center of a large horizontal sheet of plastic tha
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet is - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Explanation:

given information:

styrofoam mass, m = 16 g = 0.016 kg

net charge, q = - 8.6 μC

to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet, we can use the following equation:

F_{e} = mg

where

F_{e} = the force between the electric field

m = mass

g = gravitational force

F_{e} =qE

where

q = charge

E = electric field

and

E = σ/2ε₀

where

ε₀ = permitivity

thus

F_{e} =qE

mg = qσ/2ε₀

σ = (2mg ε₀)/q

  = 2 (0.016) (9.8)  (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)/( - 8.6 x 10⁻⁶)

  = - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

a boy is standing 4 meter from a plane mirror how far and in what distance must te move so that he will be 4 meter from his imag
Alona [7]

Answer:

2 meters towards the mirror.

Explanation:

In a plane mirror the image distance is equal to the object distance. Therefore, by moving 2 meters towards the mirror, the boy reduces the distance between him and the mirror to two meters which is the object distance. The image distance is also 2 meters. add the two distances you will get four meters.
