What does the positive sign tell you about any vector quantity ?

Physics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

With a vector, however, the sign simply tells you about the direction of the vector. If you're travelling with a velocity of 20 km/hr east, it means you're travelling east, and your speed is 20 km/hr.

Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star, as seen in the figure. The radii of their orbits ar
Korvikt [17]

By 272.7 degrees angle has planet Y rotated through during this time.

<h3 /><h3>What is Kepler's 3rd law?</h3>

The cubes of the semi-major axes of the planets' orbits are precisely proportional to the squares of the planets' orbital periods. According to Kepler's Third Law, as an orbiting planet's radius rises, so does the time of its orbit around the Sun.

Using Kepler's 3rd law, which says that the period of any planet's orbit squared is proportional to the radius of the orbit cubes, we can establish that

(period X / period Y)^2 = (radius X / radius Y)^3

(period X / period Y)^2 = 2^3 = 8

take sq root

period X / period Y = √8 = 2.82≅ 3

this means it takes planet X 2.82≅ 3  times longer to go through one orbit... so planet Y travels 2.82≅ 3  times as far (in its orbit...) as planet X!

This means...

planet Y travels   3 * 90.9  =   272.7 degrees

A man weighing 680N and a woman weighing 500N have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy Km to that o
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=0.734

Explanation:

given,

weight of the man = 680 N

weight of the woman = 500 N

mass of man = \dfrac{680}{9.8}

  M_m = 69.4 Kg

mass of woman

= \dfrac{500}{9.8}

M_w = 51 Kg

ratio of man's kinetic energy Km to that of the woman Kw

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=\dfrac{\dfrac{P_m^2}{2M_m}}{\dfrac{P_w^2}{2M_w}}

momentum is same

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=\dfrac{2M_w}{2M_m}

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=\dfrac{M_w}{M_m}

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=\dfrac{51}{69.4}

\dfrac{K_m}{K_w}=0.734

A train accelerated from 5 km/hr in 0.5 hours. what was the rate of acceleration?
Bezzdna [24]
Acceleration is the simply rate of change in velocity, how much faster or slower is the object changing speed with respect to time.

A = v/t = 5 km/hr/0.5 hr

5/1/2 = 5 • 2 = 10 km/hr^2.

This would be the acceleration.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of
sesenic [268]

Answer:

42.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

x = 62 m

y₀ = 80 m

y = 0 m

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

First, find the time it takes to land.

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (80 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 4.04 s

Find the horizontal component vₓ:

x = x₀ + vₓ t − ½ aₓ t²

(62 m) = (0 m) + vₓ (4.04 s) − ½ (0 m/s²) (4.04 s)²

vₓ = 15.3 m/s

Find the vertical component vᵧ:

vᵧ = aᵧ t + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-9.8 m/s²) (4.04 s) + (0 m/s)

vᵧ = -39.6 m/s

Find the speed using Pythagorean theorem:

v = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

v = √((15.3 m/s)² + (-39.6)²)

v = 42.5 m/s
