The resultant is maximum when the angle between the two vectors is zero

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the resultant of two vectors A, B is the following:

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of vector A

B is the magnitude of vector B

\theta is the angle between the directions of A and B

This formula can be derived by applying the parallelogram law.

From the formula, we observe that:

- When \theta=0^{\circ} (vectors A and B parallel), cos \theta = 1. so the resultant becomes simply

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2 + 2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- When \theta = 90^{\circ} (vectors A and B perpendicular), cos \theta = 0, so the resultant becomes

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- When \theta=180^{\circ} (vectors A and B anti-parallel), cos \theta = -1, so the resultant becomes

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2 - 2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=|A-B|

By looking at the three cases and at the formula, we see that the maximum value of the resultant is when the angle between the two vectors is zero, since in that case the resultant is simply obtained by adding the magnitudes of the two vectors.

D. Free fall

Explanation:

An object is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body, which is the force of gravity.

Near the Earth's surface, the force of gravity acting on a body is given by

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity (its value is 9.8 m/s^2)

The direction of this force is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

If we apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, we can find its acceleration. In fact, we have:

a=\frac{F}{m}

And substituting F,

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2

So, every object in free-fall accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

Triss [41]

Answer:

The principle of conservation of energy and angular momentum

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .
