Answer:

- 1.07 ft

Explanation:

V1 = (-5, 7, 2)

V2 = (3, 1, 2)

Projection of v1 along v2, we use the following formula

=\frac{\overrightarrow{V1}.\overrightarrow{V2}}{V2}

So, the dot product of V1 and V2 is = - 5 (3) + 7 (1) + 2 (2) = -15 + 7 + 4 = -4

The magnitude of vector V2 is given by

= \sqrt{3^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}}=3.74

So, the projection of V1 along V2 = - 4 / 3.74 = - 1.07 ft

Thus, the projection of V1 along V2 is - 1.07 ft.

so we need to find the direction of v2

What's the relationship between work done and force applied
saveliy_v [14]
When a force acts on a body along some path, the work done is W=F*s, where W is the work done, F is the force that is doing the work on the body and s is the path. The force doing the work has to be in the same direction, or parallel, as the path. This is called positive work. If the force and the path are anti-parallel, the work is negative. So the relationship between work and force is W=F*s.

A mirror with a reflecting surface that caves inward is said to be
Nina [5.8K]
Concave Mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface that is bulging inward. This is the opposite of Convex Mirror which has a bulging outward surface. Concave mirrors are also called converging mirrors. The concave mirror reflected the light inward to a single focal point. These are usually used in reflecting telescopes.
