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

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.

A cannon elevated at 40 degrees is fired at a wall 300m away on level ground. The initial speed of the cannonball is 89m/s How l
lianna [129]
For the answer to the question above, we'll have to use these formulas.

A) to find time to travel the 300m,
just find horizontal component of the velocity and divide.
ie x=89 x t x cos 40, t=x/89 x cos 40 

<span>B) y=vtsin 40 - gt^2/2, just sub in
</span>
I believe you can do the rest.

I hope I helped you with my answers.
