Answer:
magnitude of A − B = 15.81 km
Explanation:
Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 15 km.
According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.
A(0,-5)
B(15,0)
A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )
Magnitude of the vector is given by
|A - B| =
|A - B| =
|A - B| = 15.81 km
Answer:
<em>h = 20 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or .
The weight of an object of mass m is:
W = m.g
Thus, the GPE is:
U=W.h
Solving for h:
The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.
h = 20 m
