If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
4 0

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

R=A=B

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°

Hence, we have that the angle between the vectors is 120°. The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°

Have a nice day!

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

Describe what happens at the molecular level when a substance boils
mote1985 [20]
When a substance boils the molecules within the substance move faster and farther apart, meaning (depending on the current matter state of the substance) molecules will go into more liquid and gaseous states
solid----> liquid ----> gas 
In the case of something boiling the substance goes from liquid to gas due to the increased molecular activity because to heat...

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

  • mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
  • velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
  • time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

  • a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

  • F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
  • F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?
kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).
