Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The components of a vector can not have a magnitude greater than the vector itself.The magnitude of a component is always lesser than vector because the magnitude is a product of the vector and cos Ф where the value of cos Ф , x, is -1<x<1. Additionally, applying the Pythagorean relationship, you expect the sum of squares of the components to equal the square of the magnitude of the vectors.However, there is a situation where a component of a vector has a magnitude which equals the magnitude of the vector.

What is the highest pHoney bees beat their wings, making a buzzing sound at a frequency of 2.3 × 102 hertz. What is the period o

VMariaS [17]

The period of the wave is 4.35 ms. The sound waves are called longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The period of a wave is related to its frequency by the equation:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where

T is the period

f is the frequency

For the bee in this problem, the frequency of the sound wave emitted by it is

$f=2.3 \cdot 10^2 Hz = 230 Hz$

Therefore, the period of the sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{230}=4.35\cdot 10^{-3}s = 4.35 ms$

The sound wave is a type of wave called longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the oscillation of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave: therefore in a sound wave, the particle of the medium (air, in this case) oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation of the wave, forming alternating areas of higher density of particles (called compressions) and of lower density of particle (called rarefactions).

The other type of wave, instead, is called transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillation of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. An example of transverse waves are the electromagnetic waves, which consists of electric field and magnetic fields that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

A 5.31 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 2.99 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

T = 120.3 N

Explanation:

Since, the tension in the rope is acting against both the centripetal force and the weight of the stone. As both act downward towards center of the circle and tension acts towards point of support that is upward. So, tension will be equal to the sum of centripetal force and weight of the stone:

Tension = Centripetal Force + Weight of Stone

T = mv²/r + mg

where,

m = mass of stone = 5.31 kg

r = radius of circle = length of string = 2.99 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (5.31 kg)(6.2 m/s)²/(2.99 m) + (5.31 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 68.27 N + 52.03 N

A conveyor belt is used to move sand from one place to another in a factory. The conveyor is tilted at an angle of 18° above the

brilliants [131]

Answer:

x = 2.044 m

Explanation:

given data

initial vertical component of velocity = Vy = 2sin18

initial horizontal component of velocity = Vx = 2cos18

distance from the ground yo = 5m

ground distance y = 0

from equation of motion

$y = yo+ V_y t +\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 5 + 2sin18+ \frac{1}{2}*9.8t^2$

solving for t

t = 1.075 sec

for horizontal motion

$x = V_x t$

x = 2cos18*1.075

x = 2.044 m
