Addition of vectors:

vector u

has a magnitude of 20 and a direction of 0º with respect to the horizontal, vector v has a magnitude of 40 and a direction of 60º with respect to the horizontal.

a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant to the nearest whole

number.

Vector Sum:

The resultant of two vectors is simply the vector sum of the vectors. There are a handful of ways to present the resultant factor; the notation that shows the vector magnitude and direction is called the polar vector notation. An example of a vector presented in polar vector notation is

a∠θ where a is the magnitude and θis the angle that the vector makes with the horizontal axis.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's first present the vectors in rectangular vector notation.

For the vector →u of magnitude 20 and direction 0∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →u=^i20.

For the vector →v

of magnitude 40 and direction 60∘ to the horizontal axis, the vector is →v=^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘.

The resultant vector →w is the vector sum of the vectors, i.e.

→w=→u+→v

=^i20+^i40cos60∘+^j40sin60∘

=^i(20+40cos60∘)+^j(40sin60∘)

=^i40+^j20√3

For a vector ^ix+^jy, the magnitude of the vector is √x2+y2 and the direction above the horizontal axis is θ=tan−1(yx).

Let's use the formulas:

|→w|∠θ=√(40)2+(20√3)2∠tan−1(20√340)≈52.9∠40.9∘

The magnitude of the vector is about 53 units in the direction 41-degrees above the horizontal axis.

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's 20m/s because 1300m divided by 65 seconds is 20 so I think it's 20m/s

The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid is called
ikadub [295]

Answer:Convection

Explanation:

Convection is the heat transfer procedure by the movement of liquid or gas molecules. It is a combination of diffusion and bulk motion of molecules. Near the surface of the liquid diffusion process dominates while at certain height bulk motion of liquid dominates.

Convection can be

  • Natural
  • Forced

Natural : Natural convection occurs due to density differences

Forced: Force convection occurs when we apply external heat source.
