Answer:
option A
Explanation:
given,
height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m
speed of the stone = ?
As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.
using conservation of energy.
Potential energy = Kinetic energy
v = 13.60 m/s
Hence, the correct answer is option A
A) Vector A
The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula
where
v is the magnitude of the vector
is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector
- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so . So its x-component is
- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is
So, vector A has the greater x component.
B) Vector B
Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula
Here we have
- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so . So its y-component is
- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is , so the y-component is
where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:
So, vector B has the greater y component.
