How do you add vectors in two dimensions

Physics
1 answer:
noname [10]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Use the magnitude and direction of each vector to find its components.  Add the components that are along the same dimension.  Then use Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector.

For example, if we have a vector of magnitude A and direction α, and another vector of magnitude B and direction β, then the components of the first vector are:

Ax = A cos α

Ay = A sin α

And the components of the second vector are:

Bx = B cos β

By = B sin β

The resultant vector (we'll call it C) has components:

Cx = Ax + Bx

Cy = Ay + By

The magnitude of the resultant vector is:

C = √(Cx² + Cy²)

And the direction of the resultant vector is:

θ = atan(Cy/Cx)

1. Your new designer chair has an S-shaped tubular metal frame that behaves just like a spring. When your friend, who weighs 600
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×104 m/s2 , and 1.85 ms (1 ms = 10−3
ankoles [38]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

A star with a large luminosity would have a relatively _____ absolute magnitude.
Mademuasel [1]
A star with large luminosity would have a relatively low absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is a number that tells how bright a star is from the Earth. However, this scale is backwards and logarithmic, so having a large absolute magnitude value means that the star is faint.
