If you take two steps of different sizes, can you end up at your starting point (in other words, can two vectors with different
vfiekz [6]

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

If the SAME person does a cannonball from these different heights, which height will produce the biggest SPLASH? WHY?
sveta [45]

Answer:

the impact on the water varies from different heights, therefore the mass stays the same, yet the force on the water increases from a higher height. A taller height will produce a bigger splash!

Through what process is carbon pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle
Andrei [34K]

Carbon is pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle through the process of photosynthesis. Details about photosynthesis can be found below.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their nutrition by utilizing energy from sunlight.

Green plants absorb carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in the photosynthetic process.

This means that one way that carbon is removed from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle is through photosynthesis.
