Answer:

There are two components for a two-dimensional coordinate system/vector.

Explanation:

For two-dimensional vectors, such as velocity, acceleraton, etc, there are two components, the x- and y-components.

These components could be rotated or translated, depending on the coordinate system.

Instead of rectangular cartesian system, the components could also be in the form of polar coordinates, such as radius and theta (angle).

For three-dimensional vectors, such as velocity in space, there are three components, in various coordinate systems.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A.The positive z-direction

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of long line which is located on the x-axis= $\lambda_1$

Linear charge density of another long line which is located on the y-axis= $\lambda_2$

We have to find the direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis if $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are positive.

The direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis is positive z-direction .

Because $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are positive and the electric field is applied away from the positive charge.

Hence, option A is true.

A.The positive z-direction

The velocities of light in air and glass are 3.0 x 10^8ms and 2.0×10^8ms respectively. If the angle of refraction is 30°, the si

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

$refractive \: index \: = \frac{3.0 \times {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times {10}^{2} }$

= 1.5

$refractive \: index = \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }$

$1.5 = \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }$

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

$\sin(i) = 0.75$

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration

kiruha [24]

Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

=  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second) = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration = (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days) = 2,873.58 inch/hour²
