What is the direction of a vector with an x component of -12 m and a y component of -15 m?

Physics
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

51.34^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

x component of a vector = -12 m

The y component of a vector = -15 m

We need to find the direction of a vector. The direction of a vector is given by :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}

Put all the values,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-15}{-12}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{-15}{-12})\\\\\theta=51.34^{\circ}

So, the direction of vector is 51.34^{\circ} to x component.

Which of the following has the lowest U value?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

c. expanded polyurethane

Explanation:

Thermal performance of a building fabric is measured in terms of heat loss and is expressed as U-value or R-value. U-value is the rate of heat transferred through a structure divided by the difference in temperature across the structure with a unit of measurement of W/m²K.You can calculate the U-value of a by getting the reciprocal of the sum of thermal resistances , R, making the building material.

If you have the value of R, then U=1/R

Material                         size            R                      U

plywood                          1"              1.25                0.8

Poured concrete            2"              0.99               1.010

Expanded polyurethane  1"            6.5                   0.1538

Asbestos shingles            1"             0.03                33.33

The material with lowest U-value is expanded polyurethane

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the +z direction through a region of space in which there are crossed ele
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B = 7.6 T   direction of + x

Explanation:

For the proton beam to continue in the same direction the electric and magnetic forces must be equal

              F_{m} - F_{e} = 0

              F_{m} = F_{e}

              Fm = q E

             

The electric force is in the direction of the electric field because it is the charge of the positive proton, the electric force goes in the direction of –y, therefore, the magnetic force cancels this force must go in the direction of + y

 The magnetic force is

             F_{m} = q v x B = q v B sin θ

             θ = 90

             B = q E / q v

             B = E / v

             B = 800/105

             B = 7.6 T

To find the direction of the magnetic field we use the right hand rule, the thumb goes in the direction of the proton velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of force, for a positive charge.

Thumb goes in the direction of the + z axis

Palm in the direction of +y

Fingers point in the direction of + x

The magnetic field of a long, straight, and closely-wound solenoid, inside the solenoid at a point near the center, is 0.645 T.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

B'=1.935 T      

Explanation:

Given that

magnetic field ,B= 0.645 T

We know that magnetic filed in the solenoid is given as

B=\mu _0 n\ I

I=Current

n=Number of turn per unit length

μ0 =magnetic permeability

Now when the current increased by 3 factors

I'=3 I

Then the magnetic filed

B'=\mu _0 n\ I'

B'=\mu _0 n\ (3I)

B'=3 B

That is why

B' = 3 x 0.645 T

B'=1.935 T

Therefore the new magnetic filed will be 1.935 T.

Describe the wavelength of a longitudinal wave.
Lilit [14]
In Longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate around their mean positions. Their amplitude of vibration is in the direction of the propagation of the wave. In transverse wave of longitudinal wave, <em>the wavelength is always the distance between two particles which are in the same phase.</em>

If we take pressure waves, (sound waves), we have pressure variations created by sound wave along its path. Pressure is maximum at compression regions and pressure is minimum at rarefaction region. In between the two, pressure of air remains as the pressure when there is no wave.

<em>The wave length is then the distance between two consecutive rarefactions or two consecutive compression regions.</em>

<em>It is also the distance traveled by the wave in one time period.</em> Time period is the time the particles in the medium take to vibrate towards the end, turn back to reach the other end of their oscillation and then reach back their position.
