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

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).

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val
Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s^2

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42m/s^2 in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is -\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100

                                                            =3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be  accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}

                                                      g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801  m/s^2

A hockey pick sliding along a frictional surface strikes a box at rest, after the collision the two objects stick together and m
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.
