Question 4
The magnitude;
Using Pythagoras theorem,
(-200)² + (-530)² = 320900
Length = √320900
= 566.5 mi
To get the angle
Tan θ = opposite/adjacent
= 200/530
= 0.3774
θ = tan^-1 (0.3774)
= 20.67
≈ 21°
The direction from the Cartesian plane is south of west.
Therefore, the magnitude and the direction will be;
About 566.5 mi, 21° south of west
Question 5.
To get the resultant of two vectors we just add the two vectors given.
This involves adding the corresponding values.
Thus, for <-6,5> and <6,-5>
Resultant vector = <(-6+6),(5+-5>
= <0,0>
Answer:
The new volume is 20litres
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem bothers on the expansion of gases
According to Boyle's law
The volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure
P∝1/v
Pv= constant
Given data
P1= 1.5atm
v1 = 10 litter
P2=0.75atm
v2=?
Applying P1v1= P2v2
v2= P1v1/P2
v2= 1.5*10/0.75
v2= 15/0.75
v2= 20litres
2 and 7/8 is the same as 23/8. 1 and 1/2 is the same as 3/2, which is the same as 12/8. 23/8 minus 12/8 equals 11/8, which is your answer.
