Two vehicles approach an intersection: a truck moving eastbound at 16.0 m/s and an SUV moving southbound at 20.0 m/s. Suppose th

at the +x-axis is directed eastward and the +y-axis is directed northward. Find the magnitude of the velocity vector of the truck relative to the SUV.

Answer:25.61 m/s

Explanation:

Given

truck is moving eastbound with a velocity of 16 m/s

Velocity of truck $v_t=16\hat{i}$

SUV is moving south with a velocity of 20 m/s

Velocity of SUV in vector form $v_s=-20\hat{j}$

Velocity of truck relative to the SUV

$v_{ts}=v_{t}-v_s$

$v_{ts}=16\hat{i}-(-20\hat{j})$

Magnitude of relative velocity is

$|v_{ts}|=\sqrt{16^2+20^2}$

$|v_{ts}|=25.61\ m/s$

I dont get why its c i dont under the graph for the vertical component in option c

jek_recluse [69]

The vertical component grows at an increasing rate because
gravity is ACCELERATING the object vertically. So its speed
keeps growing. Speed is the slope of the displacement graph.

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo

vaieri [72.5K]

Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement = 2m + (-3)m. Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement is 1m behind his original starting point.

A point charge q1 = 1.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 1 m.

iris [78.8K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

Here

k = Coulomb's Constant

$q_{1,2} =$ Charge of each object

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

$q_1 = 1 \mu C$

$q_2 = 6 \mu C$

d = 1 m

$k = 9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

a) The electric force on charge $q_2$ is

$F_{12} = \frac{ (9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^2}$

$F_{12} = 54 mN$

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

b) As the force exerted on $q_2$ will be equal to that act on $q_1$ ,

$F_{21} = F_{12}$

$F_{21} = 54 mN$

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

c) If $q_2 = -6 \mu C$ , a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.

$F_{12} = \frac{(9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(-6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^{2}}$

$F_{12} = F_{21} = -54 mN$

Force is negative i.e. attractive
