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.

Two 20.0 g ice cubes at − 20.0 ∘ C are placed into 285 g of water at 25.0 ∘ C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Ft = 17.48°C

Explanation:

Ft is the final temperature. However, ice absorbs heat during two process of melting and cooling and as such, there is no loss of heat to or from the surrounding hence by conservation of energy.

Therefore,

Heat absorbed by water of 20g = heat rejected by water of 265g.

So; M(ice)[C(ice) [(ΔT) + LH(ice) + C(water)(ΔT)] = C(water) M(water) (ΔT)

So, 20[(2.108) [0 - (-20)] + 333.5 + 4.187(Ft - 0)]] = (285)(4.187) (25 - Ft)

To get;

7513 + 83.74 Ft = 29832.4 - 1193.3 Ft

So factorizing, we get;

83.74 Ft + 1193.3 Ft = 29832.4 - 7513

So; 1277.04 Ft = 22319.4

So; Ft = 22319.4/1277.04 = 17.48°C

a pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter high table with an initial high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4m/s. what is the
inysia [295]

Answer:

0.84 m

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

Δy = 0.60 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.60 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.35 s

Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 2.4 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.35 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (2.4 m/s) (0.35 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.35 s)²

Δx = 0.84 m

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
