Now we’ll use the component method to add two vectors. We will use this technique extensively when we begin to consider how forc

es act upon an object. Vector A⃗ A→ has a magnitude of 50 cmcm and a direction of 30∘∘, and vector B⃗ B→ has a magnitude of 35 cmcm and a direction of 110∘∘. Both angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive xx axis. Use components to calculate the magnitude and direction of the vector sum (i.e., the resultant) R⃗ =A⃗ +B⃗ R→=A→+B→.

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

Explanation:

Since vector A has magnitude 50 cm and a direction of 30, its x - component is A' = 50cos30 = 43.3 cm and its y - component is A" = 50sin30 = 25.

Also, Since vector B has magnitude 35 cm and a direction of 110, its x - component is A' = 35cos110 = -11.97 cm and its y - component is A" = 35sin110 = 32.89 cm.

So, the vector sum R = A + B

The x-component of the vector sum is R' = A'+ B' = 43.3 cm + (-11.97 cm) = 43.3 cm - 11.97 cm = 31.33 cm

The y-component of the vector sum is R" = A"+ B" = 25 cm + 32.89 cm = 57.89 cm

So, the magnitude of R = √(R'² + R"²)

= √((31.33 cm)² + (57.89 cm)²)

= √(981.5689 cm² + 3,351.2521 cm²)

= √(4,332.821 cm²)

= 65.82 cm

≅ 65.8 cm

The direction of R is Ф = tan⁻¹(R"/R')

= tan⁻¹(57.89 cm/31.33 cm)

= tan⁻¹(1.84775)

= 61.58°

≅ 61.6°

So, the magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

There is a 12 v potential difference between the positive and negative ends of the jumper cables, which are a short distance apa
steposvetlana [31]
The electric potential energy of the electron depends on the potential difference applied between the two ends of the cable. Indeed, the electric potential energy of a charge is given by
U=q \Delta V
where q is the magnitude of the charge, while \Delta V is the potential difference applied. So, U depends on \Delta V.

V o - initial velocity
v = velocity at the maximum height,
v² = v o² - 2 g h
v = 0
0 = v o² - 2 g h
v o² = 2 g h = 2 · 9.80 · 0.460
v o² = 9.052

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?
serious [3.7K]

Answer :  The wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = 4.29\times 10^{-19}J

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

As, \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

So, E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength of photon  = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}

\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm

Conversion used : 1nm=10^{-9}m

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, 4.63\times 10^{2}nm

What is gibbs paradox?
mr_godi [17]
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".

A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod.
mestny [16]

Answer:

a = 17.68 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

length of the string, L = 0.8 m

angle made with vertical, θ = 61°

time to complete 1 rev, t = 1.25 s

radial acceleration = ?

first we have to calculate the radius of the circle

 R = L sin θ

 R = 0.8 x sin 61°

 R = 0.7 m

now, calculating at the angular velocity

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{1.25}

  ω = 5.026 rad/s

now, radial acceleration

 a = r ω²

 a = 0.7 x 5.026²

a = 17.68 m/s²

hence, the radial acceleration of the ball is equal to 17.68 rad/s²
