When working with vectors, you will often see right triangles. What are the consistent properties of these triangles?

Answer:

a) and c)

Explanation:

  • Any vector can be expressed as a vector sum of its x- and -y components, as follows:

        v = vₓ* x + vy* y

  • where vₓ = x- component, x= unit vector in the x direction, vy = y-component, y = unit vector in the y direction.
  • If we add the components graphically, using the head-to-tail method, it will be defined a right triangle, being the vector sum of both components (the vector itself) the hypotenuse of the triangle.
  • As both components are perpendicular, they will be always lined up with the x- and y- axes.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use conservation of energy

the electric potential energy is

          U = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}}

for the proton at x = -1 m

          U₁ =- k \frac{e^2 }{r+1}

for the electron at x = 1 m

          U₂ = k \frac{e^2 }{r-1}

starting point.

        Em₀ = K + U₁ + U₂

        Em₀ = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1}

final point

         Em_f = k e^2 ( -\frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})

   

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e^2 (- \frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})              

       

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e²(  \frac{2}{(r_2+1)(r_2-1)} )

we substitute the values

½ 9.1 10⁻³¹ 450 + 9 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² [ - \frac{1}{20+1} + \frac{1}{20-1} ) = 9 109 (1.6 10-19) ²( \frac{2}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 2.304 10⁻³⁷ (5.0125 10⁻³) = 4.608 10⁻³⁷ ( \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 1.1549 10⁻³⁹ = 4.608 10⁻³⁷     \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          \frac{2.0475 \ 10^{-28} }{1.1549 \ 10^{-37} } = \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          r₂² -1 = (4.443 10⁸)⁻¹

           

          r2 = \sqrt{1 + 2.25 10^{-9}}

          r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

A small particle starts from rest from the origin of an xy-coordinate system and travels in the xy-plane. Its acceleration in th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m.

Explanation:

In order to obtain the x-coordinate of the particle, you have to apply the equations for Two Dimension Motion

Xf=Xo+Voxt+0.5axt²(I)

Yf=Yo+Voyt+0.5ayt² (II)

Where Xo, Yo are the initial positions, Xf and Yf are the final positions, Vox and Voy are the initial velocities, ax and ay are the accerelations in x and y directions, t is the time.

The particle starts from rest from the origin, therefore:

Vox=Voy=0

Xo=Yo=0

Replacing Yf=12, Yo=0 and Voy=0 in (I) and solving for t:

12=0+(0)t+ 0.5(1.0)t²

12=0.5t²

Dividing by 0.5 and extracting thr squareroot both sides:

t=√12/0.5

t=√24 = 2√6

Replacing t=2√6, ax=2.0,Xo=0 and Vox=0 in (I) to obain the x-coordinate:

Xf=0+0t+0.5(2.0)(2√6)²

Xf= 24 m

Describe alternating current and direct current. Include two ways that they are alike and one way that they are different.
ikadub [295]
Here is your answer:

1. A alternating current is a current "is an electric current which periodically reverses direction." A direct current is a "<span>current which flows only in one direction."

2. They are alike because both are "they both are able to travel in different directions." How they are not alike is that a "alternating current travels in a reverse direction but a direct current can only travel in one direction each current."

Hope this helps!</span>

Why does the weather change during an eclipse? help me
Otrada [13]

Answer:

here`s your answer

Winds often slow down during an eclipse as the atmosphere temporarily settles. Heating causes the atmosphere to mix and bubble, just like a pot of water on the stove. As it warms, the water level in the pot rises because warm objects, including water, expand. In the case of the atmosphere, it also expands when heated.
