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

Physics

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.

1. write the meaning of the following terms:electrostatic,neutral, positively charged, negatively charged, coulomb,microcoulomb,
dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N fo
denis-greek [22]
Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ

I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.
Tom [10]
Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>
