How can vectors be used in real life?

Physics
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
4 0
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.

Mr. Barcena reached a top speed of 5m/s in 2 seconds from rest, what was his average acceleration including units?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for acceleration is

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t} where vf is the final velocity and v0 is the initial velocity. Filling in:

a=\frac{5-0}{2} so

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Wegener believed continents moved, but he did not know how. Identify what needed to happen before Wegener's idea about moving co
pochemuha

D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k
alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}

→ v_{p}=150 km/h ,  v_{w}=50 km/h

→ v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11 km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4°

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

<em>You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south</em>
