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!

Why can't heat be transferred between two objects that have the same temperature
Inessa [10]

Answer: Because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system. The zeroth law of thermodynamics says that no heat is transferred between two objects in thermal equilibrium; therefore, they are the same temperature.

A thin layer of oil of refractive index 1.22 is spread on the surface of water (n = 1.33), If the thickness of the oil is 275 nm
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

6.71×10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Using thin film constructive interference formula as:

<u>2×n×t = m×λ</u>

Where,

n is the refractive index of the refracted surface

t is the thickness of the surface

λ is the wavelength

If m =1

Then,

2×n×t = λ

Given that refractive index pf the oil is 1.22

Thickness of the oil = 275 nm

Also, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

Thickness = 275×10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength is :

<u>λ= 2×n×t = 2× 1.22 × 275×10⁻⁹ m = 6.71×10⁻⁷ m</u>
