Answer:
θ=180°
Explanation:
The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.
Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:
- If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.
- If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.
Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).
I believe it would be 2m/s.
Explanation:
Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects. Drag is the frictional force opposing motion. Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.
Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force. Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force. It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.
Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift. It's what makes them fly. The same shape is found in racecar spoilers. These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.
