Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a. $D=A+B+C$

$D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j$

$D=2i-2j$

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude= $\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2$ units

By using the formula $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Direction: $\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

By using the formula

Direction of D: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}$

b.E=-A-B+C

$E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j$

$E=-6i+12j$

$\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4$ units

Direction of E= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}$

A 31 kg crate full of very cute kittens is placed on an incline that is 17° below the horizontal. The crate is connected to a sp

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

so

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc so spring stretches less.

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The

qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$
