Answer:
(a) 7 m
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
Given:
The magnitude of displacement vector 'a' is 3 m
The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.
The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.
(a)
Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.
So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.
(b)
When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.
So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.
Answer:
11.962337 × 10^-4 N
Explanation:
Given the following :
Length L = 11.8
Charge = 29nC = 29 × 10^-9 C
Linear charge density λ = 1.4 × 10^-7 C/m
Radius (r) = 2cm = 2/100 = 0.02 m
Using the relation:
E = 2kλ/r ; F =qE
F = 2kλq/L × ∫dr/r
F = 2*k*q*λ/L × (In(0.02 + L) - In(0.02))
2*k*q*λ/L = [2 × (9 * 10^9) * (29 * 10^9) * (1.4 * 10^-7)]/ 0.118] = 6193.2203 × 10^(9 - 9 - 7) = 6193.2203 × 10^-7 = 6.1932203 × 10^-4
In(0.02 + 0.118) - In(0.02) = In(0.138) - In(0.02) = 1.9315214
Hence,
(6.1932203 × 10^-4) × 1.9315214 = 11.962337 × 10^-4 N
Dust particles fall down when we hit the carpet or a piece of cloth with a stick because it loses it inertia of rest and move forward, but dust particles fall down in absence of the carpet.
