Suppose two vectors have unequal magnitudes. can their sum be zero? explain

Physics
1 answer:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer;

-  No, Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero.

Explanation;

-Two vectors of equal magnitude that are pointing in opposite directions will sum to zero.

-Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero. If they point along the same line, since their magnitudes are different, the sum will not be zero.

- If they point in different directions, then you can always decompose one vector into two components: one along the other vector and one perpendicular to the other vector. In this case, the perpendicular component can never be eliminated.

n the figure, a uniform ladder 12 meters long rests against a vertical frictionless wall. The ladder weighs 400 N and makes an a
Leto [7]

Since the ladder is standing, we know that the coefficient of friction is at least something. This [gotta be at least this] friction coefficient can be calculated. As the man begins to climb the ladder, the friction can even be less than the free-standing friction coefficient. However, as the man climbs the ladder, more and more friction is required. Since he eventually slips, we know that friction is less than what's required at the top of the ladder.

 

The only "answer" to this problem is putting lower and upper bounds on the coefficient. For the lower one, find how much friction the ladder needs to stand by itself. For the most that friction could be, find what friction is when the man reaches the top of the ladder.

Ff = uN1

Fx = 0 = Ff + N2

Fy = 0 = N1 – 400 – 864

N1 = 1264 N

Torque balance

T = 0 = N2(12)sin(60) – 400(6)cos(60) – 864(7.8)cos(60)

N2 = 439 N

Ff = 439= u N1

U = 440 / 1264 = 0.3481

aev [14]
The formula to find the radius is R=V^2/A or Radius=Velocity^2/Acceleration so that means
R=V^2/A
10^2/5=R
100/5=R
R=20m

What can cause a system to be unsustainable
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Leading among the causes of unsustainable agriculture are inadequate or inappropriate policies which include pricing, subsidy and tax policies which have encouraged the excessive, and often uneconomic, use of inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, and the overexploitation of land.
