In the sum →A+→B=→C, vector →A has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled 40.0° counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector

→C has a magnitude of 15.0 m and is angled 20.0° counterclockwise from the −x direction. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to +x) of →B?

Answer:

Explanation: Ok, first caracterize the two vectors that we know.

A = ax + ay = (12*cos(40°)*i + 12*sin(40°)*j) m

now, see that C is angled 20° from -x, -x is angled 180° counterclockwise from +x, so C is angled 200° counterclockwise from +x

C = cx + cy = (15*cos(200°)*i + 15*sin(200°)*j) m

where i and j refers to the versors associated to te x axis and the y axis respectively.

in a sum of vectors, we must decompose in components, so: ax + bx  = cx and ay + by = cy. From this two equations we can obtain B.

bx= (15*cos(200°) - 12*cos(40°)) m = -23.288 m

by = (15*sin(200°) - 12*sin(40°)) m = -12.843 m

Now with te value of both components of B, we proceed to see his magnitude an angle relative to +x.

Lets call a to the angle between -x and B, from trigonometry we know that tg(a) = by/bx, that means a = arctg(12.843/23.288) = 28.8°

So the total angle will be 180° + 28.8° = 208.8°.

For the magnitude of B, lets call it B', we can use the angle that we just obtained.

bx = B'*cos(208.8°) so B' = (-23.288 m)/cos(208.8°) =  26.58 m.

So the magnitude of B is 26.58 m.

Sound waves travel fastest through a A) gas. B) liquid. C) solid. D) vacuum.
earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids.  <em>(C)  </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

f an arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h(t)=35t−0.83t
inysia [295]

Answer:

The velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height after t seconds is given by the equation:

h(t)=35t-0.83t^2

We know that the rate of change of displacement is equal to the velocity of an object.

v(t)=\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=\dfrac{d(35t-0.83t^2)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=35-1.66t

Velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds will be :

v(t)=35-1.66t\\\\v(t)=35-1.66(3)\\\\v(t)=30.02\ m/s

So, the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
