Write each force in component form:

v ₁ : 50 N due east → (50 N) i

v ₂ : 80 N at N 45° E → (80 N) (cos(45°) i + sin(45°) j ) ≈ (56.5 N) (i + j )

The resultant force is the sum of these two vectors:

r = v ₁ + v ₂ ≈ (106.5 N) i + (56.5 N) j

Its magnitude is

|| r || = √[(106.5 N)² + (56.5 N)²] ≈ 121 N

and has direction θ such that

tan(θ) = (56.5 N) / (106.5 N) → θ ≈ 28.0°

i.e. a direction of about E 28.0° N. (Just to clear up any confusion, I mean 28.0° north of east, or 28.0° relative to the positive x-axis.)

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current

larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega$

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

$V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A$

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

lord [1]

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.
