Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\  \vec b=(bx,by)

The sum of the vectors is:

\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)

The difference between the vectors is:

\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)

The magnitude of \vec a is:

|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}

The angle \vec a makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\

The question provides the vectors:

\vec a=(2,6)

\vec b=(2,22)

\vec d=\vec a-\vec b

Calculate:

\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)

The magnitude of \vec d is:

|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16

The angle is calculated by:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°

A ____ is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- ____ isotope to decay.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A half-life is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- active isotope to decay.

Explanation:

A radio-active isotope is an isotope which undergoes radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which the nucleus of an atom changes its state (turning into a different nucleus, or de-exciting), emitting radiation, which can be of three different types: alpha, beta or gamma.

The half-life of a radio-active isotope is the time required for half of the nuclei of the initial sample to decay.

The law of radio-active decay can be expressed as follows:

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}

where

N(t) is the number of undecayed nuclei left at time t

N0 is the initial number of nuclei

t is the time

t_{1/2} is the half-life

We see that when t=t_{1/2} (that means, when 1 half-life has passed), the number of undecayed nuclei left is

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t_{1/2}/t_{1/2}}=N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^1=\frac{N_0}{2}

So, half of the initial nuclei.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum

m_1=59+220=279kg

m_2=2.1kg

U_1=12m/s

U_2=-44m/s

m_1U_1+m_2U_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\\frac{278\times 12-2.1\times 44}{279+2.1}=V\\\\V=11.58m/s

2 resistors of resistance 1000 ohm and 2000 ohm are joined in series with a 100V supply. A voltmeter of internal resistance 4000
Vadim26 [7]
<h2>The voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt </h2>

Explanation:

The resistor 1000 ohm and 4000 ohm are connected in parallel .

Their combined resistance is supposed R₁

Thus \frac{1}{R_1} = \frac{1}{1000} + \frac{1}{4000}  

or R₁ = 800 ohm

Therefore the total resistance in circuit is = 2000 + 800 = 2800 ohm

Because these are in series .

We can find  current flowing through the circuit  I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{100}{2800} = \frac{1}{28}

here R is total resistance .

The potential difference across 1000 ohm = \frac{1}{28} x 1000 = 35.7 volt

Thus voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt
