How can vectors be used in real life?

Physics

Using vectors can be troublesome for simple physics problems. however, when you move onto solving more difficult problems that have several variables, and the space you are dealing with is in three dimensions, using vectors is a necessity because it's not always possible to visualize the problem. but using vectors will give you a definitive answer.

few applications of vectors:
-predict the trajectory of airplanes and make sure that the airplane will not collide with some other airplane
-all simulations use vectors
-multivariable Calculus is pretty much based on vectors. without multivariable Calculus, it would have not been possible to compute many formulas.
-modeling the path a rocket will take, and supplying it the right amount of fuel so that it gets to the moon, or some other destination.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a) Tc = 750 [N]  ;b) See the explanation below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need a graphical explanation of this, as well as knowing the corresponding questions. Therefore, a search was carried out in google, in the attached image we will find a graphical description of the problem.

b)

The solution of this type of problem corresponds to the use of Newton's third law, applying static which tells us that the sum of the forces in a system in equilibrium without movement must be equal to zero.

a)

In this way we can find by means of a sum of forces on the y axis equal to zero:

- 850 - 450 + 550 + Tc = 0

Tc = 750 [N]

A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 19.0 kg, and the
liberstina [14]

Answer

given,

number of dog = 8

mass of each dog= 19 Kg

mass of sled = 210 Kg

average force = 185 Nss

a) writing all the horizontal force

   force acting by dog - friction force = (M + 8m) a

   8 F_d - μ m g = (M + 8m) a

assuming coefficient of friction of snow be μ = 0.14

    8 x 185 - 0.14 x 210 x 9.8 = (210 + 8 x 19 ) x a

               a = 3.29 m/s²

b)  the kinetic friction of coefficient is less than static friction

 hence, we can suggest that acceleration of the sled will increase once the sled start to move.

                a > 3.29 m/s²

A mine elevator cage with a mass of 2.5 tons empty is descending at a rate of 32 km/hr when the hoist mechanism jams and stops s
True [87]

Answer:

σ = 4.1 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

m= 2.5 kg

v=  32 km.hr

v= 8.88 m/s

The kinetic energy of the mass ,KE

KE = mv²/2

KE = 2.5 x 8.88²/2

KE= 98.56 J    -------1

The strain energy of the string

E=\dfrac{\sigma^2}{2E}AL

E=\dfrac{\sigma^2}{2\times 84,000\times 10^6}\times 6.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1500

E={\sigma^2}\times {5.80\times 10^{-12}} ----2

KE= E

98.56={\sigma^2}\times {5.80\times 10^{-12}}

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{98.56}{5.80\times 10^{-12}}}

σ = 4.1 MPa
