Answer: Gravity

Explanation:When the only force acting on an object is gravity, so no air resistance. the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.

How do you use vectors daily without realizing it was a vector?<br><br> I need help ASAP !!!

Explanation:

Vectors are quantities that has both magnitude and direction. A vector is described in terms of quantity and the direction it is headed.

There are different forms of vectors that are used in our daily life.

When we describe the motion of a car and the direction it is heading, we are simply talking about its velocity which is a vector.
When we say James treks 2km from his school to the house everyday, we are simply describing his displacement.
When we apply a force to push the table from one corner of the room to another point, is simply a vector
When we change position, it is a vector application.

Vector C has a magnitude of 24.6 m and points in the − y ‑ direction. Vectors A and B both have positive y ‑ components, and mak

frez [133]

Answer:

A= 61.35

B= -44.40

Explanation:

1. Using the components method we have:

$A_{x}= A cos \alpha\\B_{x}= B cos \beta\\C_{x}= 0\\\\A_{y}= A sin \alpha\\B_{y}= B sin \beta\\C_{y}= 24.6\\$

Considering that the vector sum $A+B+C=0$ , then:

$|V|=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2} +V_{y}^{2} }=0$

Then:

$V_{x} ^{2} =0; V_{x} =0\\V_{y} ^{2} =0; V_{y} =0$

It means the value of x and y component is 0.

2. Determinate the equations that describe each component:

$V_{x}= A cos \alpha -B cos \beta=0 (1)\\V_{y}= A sin \alpha +B sin \beta - C=0 (2)$

Form Eq. (1):

$A=B \frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha} (3)$

Replacing A in Eq. (2):

$(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-C=0\\(B\frac{cos \beta}{cos \alpha})(sin \alpha)+ B sin\beta-=C\\\\B(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)=C\\B=C(\frac{cos \beta. sin \alpha}{cos \alpha}+ sin\beta)^{-1} (4)$
