Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of Susan $m=12 kg$

Inclination $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Tension $T=29 N$

coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.18$

Resolving Forces Along x axis

$F_x=T\cos \theta -f_r$

where $f_r=friction\ Force$

$F_y=mg-N-T\sin \theta$

since there is no movement in Y direction therefore

$N=mg-T\sin \theta$

and $f_r=\mu N$

Thus $F_x=T\cos \theta -\mu N$

$F_x=29\cos (30)-\0.18\times (12\times 9.8-29\sin (30))$

$F_x=25.114-18.558$

$F_x=6.556 N$

Work done by applied Force is equal to change to kinetic Energy

$F_x\cdot x=\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_i^2$

$6.556\times 2.7=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12\times v_f^2$

$v_f^2=\frac{6.556\times 2.7\times 2}{12}$

$v_f^2=2.95$

$v_f=1.717 m/s$
