It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one
Answer:

Explanation:
For this problem, we need to apply the formulas of constant accelerated motion.
To obtain the boat displacement we need to calculate the displacement because of the river flow and the displacement done because of the boat motor.
for the river:

for the boat:

So the final displacement is given by:

Answer:
Explanation:
Let the intensity of unpolarised light be I₀ . After passing through the first polarising filter , the intensity is I₀ / 2 .
After second filter , the intensity will be I₀ / 2 x cos²45 = I₀ / 4
After third filter , the intensity will be I₀ / 4 x cos²45 = I₀ / 8 .
So,
1 / 8 the of initial light passes through the last filter .
1 Watt = 1 joule/second
650 watts = 650 joules/second
(650 J/sec) x (3,600 seconds/1 hour) = <em>2,340,000 Joules/hour</em>
