How to explain horizontal in words

Physics
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
7 0

In astronomy and geography, a direction or plane is said to be horizontal if it is perpendicular to the vertical direction. In mathematics, anything parallel to the horizon is called horizontal. Because vertical is the opposite of horizontal, anything that makes a 90-degree angle (right angle) with the horizontal or the horizon is called vertical. So, the horizontal line is one that runs across from left to right.

Rudik [331]

Explanation:

1. To graphically add vectors, use the tail-to-tip method.  Draw the first vector (it doesn't matter which), then draw the second vector where the first vector ends.  The resultant vector is from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector.

This graph shows two ways to get the resultant: A + B or B + A.

2. To algebraically add vectors, split each vector into x and y components.

Aₓ = 5.0 cos 45 = 3.5

Aᵧ = 5.0 sin 45 = 3.5

Bₓ = 2.0 cos 180 = -2.0

Bᵧ = 5.0 sin 180 = 0

The components of the resultant vector are the sums of the components of A and B.

Cₓ = 3.5 + -2.0 = 1.5

Cᵧ = 3.5 + 0 = 3.5

The magnitude of the resultant vector is found with Pythagorean theorem, and the direction is found with tangent.

C = √(Cₓ² + Cᵧ²) ≈ 3.9 m/s

θ = atan(Cᵧ / Cₓ) ≈ 67°

A charged particle moves through a magnetic field. In which situation is the magnetic force zero?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The answer is the option a.

Explanation:

We know that magnetic force (Fm) is defined as

Fm = q (v x B)

Where q is a the value of the charge, v is the velocity of the charge and B is the value of the magnetic field.

"v x B" is defined as the cross product between the vectors velocity and magnetic field, and if the angle between them is thetha < 180°, then, the cross product is

v x B = vBsin (thetha)

So,

Fm = qvBsin (thetha)

And, in case in which v and B are parallel vectors, thetha is zero, and,

sin (thetha)=sin (0) = 0

So, Fm=0
