A position vector in the first quadrant has an x-component of 6 m and a magnitude of 10 m. What is the value of its y-component

Physics
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

8m

Explanation:

The magnitude m of a vector (x, y) is given by

m = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}      -------------------------(i)

where;

x and y are the x- and y- components of the vector.

From the question;

m = 10m

x = 6m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

10 = \sqrt{6^2 + y^2}

Solve for y;

<em>Find the square of both sides</em>

10² = 6² + y²

100 = 36 + y²

y² = 100 - 36

y² = 64

y = √64

y = 8

Therefore, the y-component of the position vector is 8m

We're going to remedy it with the parallelogram law. 
\alpha = one hundred eighty - 30 - 70 = eighty degrees
R = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2 - 2(2)(three) cos(80)
R = three.30 kN, we can conclude now that the value of the ensuing of R is 3.30 kN

sin\beta/3 = sin(eighty)/three.304 = 63.4 stages

3.3 kN 
180 + 33.4 = 213.4 degrees
63.4 - 30 = 33.4

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

. How does a simple cell work????​
Delvig [45]
A simple cell can be made by connecting two different metals in contact with an electrolyte. A number of cells can be connected in series to make a battery , which has a higher voltage than a single cell. In non-rechargeable cells, eg alkaline cells, a voltage is produced until one of the reactants is used up
