Can a vector be shorter than one of its components

Physics
1 answer:
Sauron [17]4 years ago
3 0
It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
White raven [17]

True, but only if the temperature of the gas doesn't change ...
which is pretty hard to manage when you're compressing it.

I think Boyle's law actually says something like

       (pressure) x (volume) / (temperature)  =  constant.

So you can see that if you want to say anything about two of the
quantities, you always have to stipulate that the statement is true
as long as the third one doesn't change.

A 75.0 kg object decelerates from a speed of 100 m/s to 50 m/s over an interval of 25 seconds. What was the net force acting upo
lukranit [14]

Assuming constant acceleration <em>a</em>, the object has undergoes an acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (50 m/s - 100 m/s) / (25 s) = -2 m/s²

Then the net force has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that, by Newton's second law,

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>F</em> = (75.0 kg) (-2 m/s²)

<em>F</em> = -150 N

meaning the object is acted upon by a net force of 150 N in the direction opposite the initial direction in which the object is moving.
