Which of the following quantities are vectors?

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.

vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct

Vector ~A has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. When vector ~B is added to ~A, the resultant vecto

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.

Explanation:

Resultant of vectors = vector sum of all the vectors

Vector A = 29j

Vector B = ?

Resultant of vector A and B = R = -14j

R = A + B

-14j = 29j + B

B = -14j - 29j = - 43j

Hence, the magnitude of vector B is 43 units and it points in the negative y-direction.

when do you use cos and sin in situations like these? is horizontal always cos and vertical always sin?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

this is simple

the horizontal line is adjacent

the vertical line is opposite

recall that cos x=adj/hyp

adj=hyp(cos x)

while opp=hyp(sin x)

A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).

just olya [345]

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles ( $\vec r_{cm}$ ), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

$\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}}$ (1)

Where:

$m_{i}$ - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec r_{i}$ - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that $\vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m)$ , $m_{1} = 1\,kg$ , $\vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m)$ , $m_{2} = 4.50\,kg$ , $\vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m)$ and $m_{3} = 4\,kg$ , then the coordinates of the third particle are:
