Find equation tangent to a circle at given point

Physics
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
7 0

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. <span>
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

</span>since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 

<span>Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.</span>

<span>The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).</span>

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product), 

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.
NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is    (45 cm) / (3 sec)  =  15 cm/sec.

A charged particle moving along the x-axis enters a uniform magnetic field pointing along the z-axis. Because of an electric fie
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge particle have charge equal to +q .

force due to electric field will be along the field that is along y - axis . To balance it force by magnetic force must be along   - y axis. ( negative of y axis )

force due to magnetic field = q ( v x B ) , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

F = q ( v i x B k )  , ( velocity is along x direction and magnetic field is along z axis. )

= (Bqv) - j  

= - Bqv j

The force will be along - ve y - direction .

If we take charge as negative or - q

force due to electric field will be along - y axis .

magnetic force = F = -q ( v i x B k )

= +  Bqv j

magnetic force will be along  + y axis

So it is difficult to find out the nature of charge on the  particle from this experiment.

An 80.0 N force accelerates a 6.0 kg object from 4.0 m/s to 8.0 m/s. What is the
kolezko [41]

Answer:

24kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 80N

Mass of object  = 6kg

Initial velocity  = 4m/s

Final velocity = 8m/s

Solution:

Impulse  = ?

Solution:

The impulse on a body is its change in momentum.

    Impulse  = m (v  - u )

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

          Impulse  = 6 (8 - 4) = 24kgm/s
