Why are vectors so important?

1 answer:

6 0

Vectors represent relationships according to the position, velocity, and acceleration (of a moving object).
Because so many physical things are vectors, you have to be able to add and subtract them, helping you understand how the world around you behaves.

I had to do some research (I was never good with physics) so if you have a couple questions, I will try to explain.

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

$h = 128t-32t^2$ ....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0$

From equation (I)

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t$

$128-64t=0$

$t=\dfrac{128}{64}$

$t=2\ sec$

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

$h =128\times2-32\times4$

$h=128\ ft$

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

$128t-32t^2=0$

$t(128-32t)=0$

$128=32t$

$t=4\ sec$

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the

Valentin [98]

To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
