Vector of magnitude 15 is added to a vector of magnitude 25. The magnitude of this sum

Physics
1 answer:
loris [4]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnitude of vector A, |A| = 15

Magnitude of vector B, |B| = 25

We need to find the magnitude of this sum.

The maximum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{max}=|A_1|+|A_2|\\\\=15+25\\\\=45

The minimum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{min}=|A_1|-|A_2|\\\\=15-25\\\\=-10

So, the magnitude of this sum either 45 or -10.

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

Bess [88]

Answer:

An estimate for the time it will take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars is approximately 138.8 days

Explanation:

The distance between Earth and the Moon = 684,400 km

The distance between Earth and Mars = 220.58 × 10⁶ km

The distance between Earth and Pluto = 5.2241 × 10⁹ km

The ratio of the distance between Earth and Pluto and the distance between Earth and Mars = (5.2241 × 10⁹ km)/(220.58 × 10⁶ km) ≈ 23.683

It took 2006 to 2015 (9 years) to travel from Earth to Pluto, therefore, it can take approximately (9 years)/(23.683) ≈ 0.38 of a year which is ((9 years)/(23.683)) × 365.2422 ≈ 138.8 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars

regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac
solmaris [256]

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision:

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

Being:

p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}

p_{f}=(M+m) V

Where:

M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg the mas of the peregrine falcon

V_{i}=45 m/s the initial speed of the falcon

m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg is the mass of the pigeon

U_{i}=0 m/s the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

V the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V (2)

Finding V:

V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m} (3)

V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg} (4)

V=30 m/s (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} (6)

Where:

F is the force exerted on the pigeon

\Delta t=0.015 s is the time

\Delta p is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i} (7)

\Delta p=mV (8) Since U_{i}=0

Substituting (8) in (6):

F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t} (9)

F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s} (10)

Finally:

F=480 N

Refraction can occur only when light is
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.
