If you take two steps of different sizes, can you end up at your starting point (in other words, can two vectors with different

magnitudes ever add to zero)? More generally, can three or more vectors with different magnitudes ever add to zero?

Answer:

a) No, Two vectors with different magnitudes can never add up to zero.

b) Yes, Three or more vectors with different magnitudes can add up to zero.

Explanation:

a) No, Two vectors with different magnitudes can never add up to zero.

Given vector A and B

A = (x1,y1,z1) and B = (x2,y2,z2)

For A + B = 0

This conditions must be satisfied.

x1 + x2 = 0

y1 + y2 = 0

z1 + z2 = 0

Therefore, for those conditions to be meet the magnitude of A must be equal to that of B.

b) Yes, Three or more vectors with different magnitudes can add up to zero.

For example, three forces acting at equilibrium like supporting the weight of a person with two different ropes.

W = T1 + T2

Where;

W = Weight

T1 = tension of wire 1

T2 = tension of wire 2

Every star is part of a constellation and is assigned a Greek letter within the constellation. Many stars still bear ancient Ara
Andru [333]

Answer:

All 88 constellations are based on figures that originated in Greek and Middle Eastern mythology. (<em>Correct</em>)

The α star in a constellation is usually brighter than the β star. (<em>Correct</em>)

All stars are part of some constellation. (<em>Correct</em>)

The modern constellations have English names rather than Latin like the ancient ones. (<em>Correct</em>)

Explanation:

Constellations were grouped by different civilizations as mean to be oriented when they were making observations of the sky (they could see as maps of certain regions). Each constellation is an arrangement of several stars in a specific figure (animals, mythological characters and objects), things that were important for that civilization.

The letter \alpha is given to the brightest star in a constellation while the other letters of the Greek alphabet are assigned to the other stars that belong to that specific constellation according to their brightness. For example in the Orion constellation the brightest star is Betelgeuse so it is classified with an \alpha; \beta to Rigel, the second in brightness and so on. That classification system was established by the astronomer Johann Bayer in 1603.

The modern constellations have English names, for example the constellations of Telescopium, Fornax, Sculptor, Chamaeleon, among others.

As constellations represent maps of different regions in the sky, any star will be related with them. For that reason is correct to say that all stars are part of some constellation.

HELP QUICK <br> numbers 2-6
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

2. B

3. A

4. C

5. B

6. A

Explanation:

2. Sound waves use vibrating molecules to move. With this being said, sound waves would travel best through dense materials, and would travel worst in empty materials, like space. Using this information, you can infer that B would be the answer because water is denser than air and water is the densest material on that list.

3. The speed of the wave is equal to the frequency times the wavelength. Since it has a wavelength of 100 meter and 20 Hertz, the speed would 2000 m/s

4. Like noted in question 2, sound waves travel best in dense materials. Rock is the densest material in that last.

5. By looking at the chart, you can see that the speed increases by 4 m/s when the temperature increases by 10. Using simple division, you could determine that the speed would go up by 2 m/s since the jump between 15 degrees and 20 degrees is 5, which is half of 10, making the speed half of 4.

6. The speed would decrease because, like stated above, sound travels best through dense materials. Since rock is denser than air, the speed would decrease as it leaves.

A rock hits the ground at a speed of 15 m/s and leaves a hole 50 cm deep. After it hits the ground, what is the magnitude of the
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

B) 225 m/s^2

Explanation:

The rock hits the ground at 15m/s and travels 50cm=0.5m through the ground until it stops.

The acceleration is supposed to be uniform, so the formula we have to use is v^2=v_0^2+2ad, which for acceleration is:

a=\frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2d}

Taking the <em>downwards direction as positive</em> (the direction of traveling, so the initial velocity and displacement will be positive), substituting our values for that movement we have:

a=\frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2d}=\frac{(0m/s)^2-(15m/s)^2}{2(0.5m)}=-255m/s^2

Where the <em>negative sign indicates that it is pointing upwards.</em>
