why is The sum of two vectors has the smallest magnitude when the angle between these two vectors is 180t

Physics

Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:

  C = A - B

Explanation:

The addition of vectors takes into account the magnitude of each vector and its direction, so when adding two vectors, the result depends on the direction of the vectors.

* If the vectors have the same direction the result is maximum

            C = A + A

* if the vectors have 90 between them, the magnitude of the result is given by the Pythagorean Theorem

            C = √(A² + B²)

* if the vectors have 180º between them the result is minimal

            C = A - B

We can also perform this sum graphically, where the resulting vector goes from the origin of the first vector to the tip of the last one, it can clearly be seen that when the vectors are antiparallel (180º angle) the magnitude is minimal

A block on a horizontal frictionless plane is attached to a spring, as shown below. The block oscillates along the x-axis with s
AleksandrR [38]

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.

Answer:

D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum

Explanation:

As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.

Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.

From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.

The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}
