Answer with explanation:

The given vectors in are reduced to their componednt form as shown

For vector A it can be written as

\overrightarrow{v}_{a}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}

Similarly vector B can be written as

\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=-13\widehat{i}

Hence The sum and difference is calculated as

\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}+(-13\widehat{i})\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=(16cos(44^{o})-13)\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=-1.49\widehat{i}+11.11\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore |\overrightarrow{v}_{a}+\overrightarrow{v}_{b}|=\sqrt{(-1.49)^{2}+11.11^{2}}=11.21m

The direction is given by

\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{r_{y}}{r_{x}}\\\\\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{11.11}{-1.49}=97.64^{o}with positive x axis.

Similarly

\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=16cos(44^{o})\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}-(-13\widehat{i})\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=(16cos(44^{o})+13)\widehat{i}+16sin(44^{o})\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}=24.51\widehat{i}+11.11\widehat{j}\\\\\therefore |\overrightarrow{v}_{a}-\overrightarrow{v}_{b}|=\sqrt{(24.51)^{2}+11.11^{2}}=26.91m

The direction is given by

\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{r_{y}}{r_{x}}\\\\\theta =tan^{-1}\frac{11.11}{24.51}=24.38^{o}with positive x axis.

Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular Structure. is the ball acceleration? Explain why?
baherus [9]
Yes. On a circular path, the direction of motion is constantly changing. Change of direction is acceleration, even at constant speed.

Which one of the following types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?
Setler [38]

Answer:

As a result, light travels fastest in empty space, and travels slowest in solids. In glass, for example, light travels about 197,000 km/s.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Photons.

Explanation:

Einstein explained the photoelectric effect by proposing that light is transmitted, not in the form of continuous waves, but in the form of many tiny, discrete packets of energy called photons. Photons are massless and  chargeless particle. The energy of a photon is given by :

E=hf

f is the frequency of photon.
