Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:

i × i = j × j = k × k = 0

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j

and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)

Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have

a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)

a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)

… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)

… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)

a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)

a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i

a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k

A vector has a magnitude of 46.0 m and points in a direction 20.0° below the positive x-axis. A second vector, , has a magnitude
irina1246 [14]

Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b.\mid A\mid=46 m

\theta=20^{\circ} below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis=x=360-20=340^{\circ}

x-component of vector A=A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24

y-Component of vector A=A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis=x'=42^{\circ}

x-component of vector B=B_x=86cos42=63.64

y-Component of vector B=B_y=86sin42=57.62

Vector A=A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j

Vector B=B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j

C=106.88i+41.98j

c.Direction=\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree

Solve for the BMI weight 58kg Height 1.61​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height)          ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

     = 58kg / (1.61m  × 1.61m )

     = (58/ 2.5921) kg/m^{2}

     = 22.375  kg/m^{2}

     ≈ 22.4 kg/m^{2}
