If you add two velocity vectors going in opposite directions, will the resultant vector be smaller or larger than the vectors yo

u are adding?
Choose the correct answer with the correct reasoning.

Question 11 options:

smaller, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity


larger, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity


smaller, because part of the velocities cancel each other out


larger, because the part of the velocities cancel each other out

smaller, because the part of the velocities cancel each other out

Lemur [1.5K]2 years ago

Explanation:

If two vectors going in opposite directions and we add them, the resultant is given by the sum of vectors as :

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB\ cos(180)}, cos (180) = -1

R=A+(-B)

If the vectors are in same directions, the resultant is equal to the sum of vectors. Here, the resultant of two vectors is smaller because the part of the velocities cancel out each other. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Why does cold water sink?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water

A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y=0), at time t=0.0s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceler
Luden [163]

From the definition of average velocity,

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t,

and the fact that constant acceleration means

\bar v=\dfrac{v_f+v_0}2=\dfrac{30\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}2=15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

we can solve for the time t:

15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t\implies t=3.3\,\mathrm s

Point charge q1 of 30 nC is separated by 50 cm from point charge q2 of -45 nC. As shown in the diagram, point a is located 30 cm
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E1 =  2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C

Explanation:

E1 = kQ1/r^2

  =8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2

  = 2996.667N/C

E2 = kQ2/r^2

      = 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2

      = 11237.5N/C

The direction are towards the point a

What is the voltage across each resistor?
kogti [31]

Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30  = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55  = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15  = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts
